How to Add an Assistant Organizer
1. Open the Details tab of your SignUp's Organizer view. (Login and from the Dashboard, go to the My SignUps menu and click the SignUp Title to access the Organizer view.)
2. Scroll down to view the Organizer Information section and click the arrow to open the section, if needed. Click the blue +Add an Assistant Organizer button and enter the Assistant Organizer's contact information.
3. Scroll down and click at the bottom of the page to save your new Organizer.
Important Notes:
-
- All Assistant Organizers must register an account with a password at SignUp.com before they can be added as an Assistant Organizer.
- Most prior Participants and volunteers do NOT yet have a registered account (since they signed up with an email invitation link).
Avoiding a Locked SignUp
To prevent multiple Organizers from overwriting changes, only one Organizer can access a SignUp at a time. When a Primary or Assistant Organizer opens a SignUp from the Dashboard, it is automatically locked. Once you’re done, click "Back to My SignUps" to unlock it and allow other Organizers to access.
Key Differences Between Organizer Roles
- Email Messages: All emails show only the Primary Organizer’s name (along with SignUp.com) in the "From" field.
- Organizer Contact: The Primary Organizer is the listed contact for the SignUp.
- Changing the Primary Organizer: Only the Primary Organizer can assign a new Primary Organizer. Learn how here: How do I change the Primary Organizer?
