Project Needs

There are four types of needs you can add to a project.  Needs can be shifts, tasks, items, or positions.  In this solution we will discuss shifts.

A shift has a date, start time, end time, shift role, and the min/max assignees.

A shift can be deleted individually as well as well as deleted in bulk.  For more information on deleting a single shift click here.

**You can only delete a project shift if there are no assignments on it.  You must first delete the assignments. Click the following for more information on deleting shift assignments individually or in bulk. Bulk Assignment Management is only available with the Professional and Enterprise subscription levels.  If you have questions on your subscription level please live chat with us now from your VolunteerMatters portal or submit a support ticket via email.**
