Tell your mosque when you can serve

If you would help more often when the timing suits you, you can tell your mosque the times you are usually free. Your coordinator then sees, at a glance, who fits a slot before they ask. It is a hint for planning, never a promise, and it never stops you from claiming anything.

Where to find it

Open your mosque's roster link, the same one you use to claim a slot. On a slot you have claimed, tap Set when you can serve. The page names the mosque you are setting times for, so if you help at more than one, you always know which one you are telling.

You need to have claimed a slot at least once, so the mosque knows it is really you. Nobody else can see or set your times.

Add a window

A window is one stretch of time on one day, for example Friday 12pm to 3pm.

1. Tap Add a window.
2. Pick a day, a start time and an end time.
3. Add as many as you like. Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings are two separate windows.
4. Tap Save.

Times are your local time, the clock on your wall. There is nothing to work out.

Change or remove a window

• Change a window by editing the day or times in place, then Save.
• Remove a window with its Remove button. Nothing is saved until you press Save, so if you change your mind, add it back or just leave the page.
• Clear everything by removing all your windows and saving. That is fine. It simply means your mosque carries no times for you, exactly as before you started. You are never locked in.

What your mosque sees, and what it does not

• Your coordinator sees your windows when planning a rota, and a gentle note if a duty falls outside them. That is all it is, a note. It never blocks you.
• You choose when, never why. There is no box for a reason, a health note or anything else, and there never will be here.
• No other volunteer sees your times. There is no public list and no message is ever sent when you set them.

That is the whole idea: tell the mosque when suits you, and let the planning fit around your week.
