Sign-up fields for your volunteers.

Ask what you need to know at sign-up. Only the volunteers it concerns, and only as often as needed.

Everyone gets only their questions.

A question applies to the whole event, to an area or to a task. The sign-up page only asks it when a matching shift is selected.

Try it: which shifts does Lena pick?
Once per helper
The page asks for the T‑shirt size once, however many shifts someone picks.
For each selected shift
It asks about parking for every shift. One answer can be applied to all of them.

Create once, adapt per event.

Your questions live in your organisation’s catalogue and are available to every event. When you assign one, you decide how it appears in this event.

  • Required or optional, visible to volunteers or hidden for now.
  • Your own question text, help text and answers, just for this event. The catalogue stays as it is.
  • Missing a question? Create it right while assigning.

All answers in one place.

What your volunteers enter shows up in their profile and in the export for the whole event.

In the volunteer profile

Under "Additional information" you see the answers for the event and correct them if needed. Answers per shift sit with the shift.

As an Excel file

The export counts every answer. So you know how many shirts to order in which size.

In the volunteer area

Under "Your answers", volunteers see what they entered for each sign-up.

More about sign-up fields.

  • Six answer types

    Text, number, yes/no, select, multi-select or date. Volunteers always get the matching input.

  • Required questions

    If an answer is missing, the sign-up cannot be sent. The page says which question is still open.

  • Drag to reorder

    In both groups you drag the questions into the right order. On a touchscreen, press and hold.

  • Hide instead of delete

    Untick "Visible for volunteers" and the question disappears from the sign-up page, the assignment stays. Deleting removes it from every event.

  • When you assign, too

    If you add someone to a shift yourself in Controlling, you enter their answers at the same time.

  • In the shift overview

    The shift overview export lists the volunteers of each shift with contact details and answers.

Questions about sign-up fields

Your question is not listed? Write to us and we will get back to you in person.

Ask a question
What information may I ask for?
Only what you really need for your event. Sensitive data such as health information only with a legal basis. The app points this out when you create a question.
Can the same question apply once per helper and per shift?
Not in the same event. There a question applies either once per helper or for each selected shift. In another event you can assign it differently.
Do the questions come along when I copy an event?
The questions stay in your organisation’s catalogue. The app does not copy the assignments: in the new event you assign the questions again.
Can I ask a question in several areas?
Yes. Assign it to each area separately. Anyone who picks shifts in several of them still gets the question only once. If you also assign it to a task, the text and answers of that more specific assignment apply.

Your next event, without spreadsheet chaos.

Set up in minutes. Your volunteers sign up via a link or QR code. For larger events, we are happy to walk you through everything in person.
