Create an Ongoing Job

When you have Jobs with multiple Shifts occurring in the future, you need an easy way to automate the creation of those Shifts. (It would be tedious to manually enter each one!) Volunteers for Salesforce' Job Recurrence Schedules do the work for you.

But first, you need to set up the ongoing Job:

1. From the Campaign detail page, click the Related tab.
2. On the Volunteer Jobs related list, click New.
   

   Note If you wandered away from the Campaign, you can also go to the Volunteer Jobs tab and click New. You'll just need to select the Campaign.
3. Enter a Job name.
4. Select the Ongoing checkbox to indicate that this Job is ongoing. Keep in mind that this checkbox is mostly for reporting purposes and you still need to set up a Job Recurrence Schedule to actually implement recurring Shifts for this Job.
5. Select Display on Website. Selecting this option ensures that the Job will show up on your website.
6. Enter description information. The Job description appears on the website, so make it as appealing as possible. You can use formatting, pictures, and links to jazz up the listing.
   
7. Enter the location.

   The Location Street, Location City, Location State/Province, and Location Zip/Postal Code fields integrate with Google Maps, if you have it enabled. Admins can also configure V4S to display a corresponding map on your website. See Customize the Volunteer Job Listing Page for more information.

8. Enter any additional location information, for example, written instructions and a map to the event.
   
9. Optionally, link to a page on your website to provide more information. Highlight the text you want to link, click the link icon in the toolbar, and enter the URL.
10. Click Save. The new Job appears on the Campaign's Volunteer Jobs related list.

Now that you've got an ongoing Job, you can set up the Job Recurrence Schedule.
