How to Use Calendar View and Sync Sign Ups to Your Calendar

calendar-view-sync

"Calendar" on SignUpGenius actually means three different things, depending on what you're trying to do.

  • You might want your sign up to display as a calendar instead of a list.
  • You might want to sync something you signed up for to your own digital calendar.
  • Or you might want to sync an entire sign up you created. Here's how each one works.

Show Your Sign Up in Calendar View

Sign ups default to a list view format, but if your sign up spans multiple dates, you can display it as a calendar instead. This gives participants a visual way to see availability across the month.

  • Log in and go to your Created sign ups. Click Edit next to the sign up you want to change.
  • On the Settings tab, scroll down to Preferences and find General Settings.
  • Check the box to show calendar view by default.
  • Click Save.

Don't See the Calendar View Option?

Calendar view is only available for multiple-date sign ups. If you don't see it as an option, you may need to turn it on in your global account settings first.

To update your global setting:

  1. Click your profile picture or initials in the upper right corner.
  2. Choose Settings.
  3. Click the Sign Ups tab.
  4. Turn on "Show Calendar view by default."

Once that's set, go back to the sign up you were working on and the option will be available.

“We use SignUpGenius for a variety of things — trainings, volunteer sheets for almost all our events on property and group interviews for potential team members in the hiring and interviewing process. It is an easy way for us to keep all the sign in sheets electronically in one place for admins to access the account instead of having a paper system.”
