Welcome to your new Campus/Organization Plan – the convenient and easy way to bring the power of SignUp.com's Premium service to the leaders and teachers in your organization! The following terms and frequently asked questions will be helpful in getting started…
Terminology:
Plan Administrator
- The person who first upgraded to the Campus/Organization Plan and received your Plan License Code. (identified by email address)

- May belong to more than one Plan.
- Can be the Primary Organizer of their own SignUps, or Assistant Organizer on others’ SignUps.
SignUp
- Any individual activity or volunteer calendar where people can sign up for shifts, jobs or things to bring.
- Any Organizer or Administrator can create a Signup. (e.g. The Librarian plans the Book Fair SignUp and the 4th Grade Teacher plans the Science Lab SignUp.)
- Any Organizer can “Pass the Baton” to send their planned SignUp to a different Organizer (e.g. the School Secretary sets up all the Parent-teacher Conference SignUp calendars, then passes each SignUp to the teacher to distribute to her class parents.)
Group Page
- A custom place to post links to multiple SignUps with one invitation link (URL).
- ‘Owned’ by the Organizer who creates it – s/he can give other Plan Members permission to post their SignUps on the Group Page.

Common Questions:
Should our Group/School have One Group Page or Multiple Group Pages?
This is a personal choice made by the Administrator. Think about:
1) How do your participants decide how to help? Are they looking for a specific type of SignUp, for one type of service or for one grade/teacher? If so, posting your SignUps to a Group page by category gets them to their destination faster.
2) How many total SignUps do you have? A large list of SignUps to sort through can be a bit overwhelming for potential participants. For example, a High School may have separate Group Pages for Arts/Music, Athletic Clubs, Senior Activities, Other.

When setting up or managing your Group Page, check the box that says, “Allow Others to Add SignUps to my Group Page?”. Anyone with your Plan License Code will be able to view and add SignUps links to your Group Page.
