Feature: Open Shifts
Source: VSMS Functional Requirements v1.1, Section 6
Visibility
All Volunteers (with or without the Trainee flag) can see the full schedule including:
- All assigned volunteers and their operational roles
- Which specific roles are still needed on each shift (e.g.
1 Behaviour Team needed)
Open spots show the role gap, not just a headcount.
Claiming Open Shifts
| FR ID | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FR-O01 | Any Volunteer without the Trainee flag can claim an open shift. Claims are first-come first-served and confirmed automatically — no Admin approval required. | Trainees can see open shifts but cannot claim them. |
| FR-O02 | A volunteer is blocked from claiming a shift if they have approved time off on that date. They are directed to remove their time off first. | |
| FR-O03 | When a volunteer claims a shift, Admin is notified immediately. |
Floater Notifications (Nice to Have — not in MVP)
✦ Post-MVP: When a shift spot opens, Floaters are notified first by email. After a set window (default: 1 week), volunteers who do not already have a shift that day are also notified. Floaters do not have an exclusive claim window — any eligible volunteer can claim at any time via the schedule view.
