From a list of needs to a shared plan

Give every task
a place on the list.

Start with what you need people to do. A dish, a volunteer role, and a conference appointment ask different questions, but all benefit from clear choices and an exact number of places.

Choose a sheet or a schedule

Use a Sign-Up Sheet for named items, roles, or contributions. Use a Shift Schedule when people are choosing dated time slots. Scheduling templates can ask for dates and times before opening the draft, so confirm those details with your group first.

Start from a useful structure

The public template library is free to use. Pick a template close to your task, rename its choices, and adjust limits. You can also build your own browser draft without an account. Create an account and verify your email when you are ready to save online and publish.

Decide what participants should see

Explain how many choices a person should make and what one place means. Add only the questions you need. Check name and answer visibility, deadlines, and reminder settings before sharing the participant link.

Put the plan into practice

  1. List the needs

    Separate jobs, contributions, and appointment times so each choice has one meaning.

  2. Set limits and questions

    Choose capacities and collect the information needed to coordinate each signup.

  3. Review before publishing

    Check the phone view, save online, verify your email, and publish when ready.

A few things to know

Can I start before making an account?

Yes. Guest browser drafts can be customized first. An account is needed to save online and publish.

Does creating a draft publish it?

No. Review the draft and choose Publish when you are ready.

Can a template be changed?

Yes. You create your own editable copy, including signup names, questions, limits, and instructions.
