Why won't it take my event date?

Check to make sure that your event date is in the right format and is in the future. If you are unsure about the format, pick the date from the pop-up calendar.

Can I set it up so that my helpers sign up for times within the sign up sheet?

Yes. During set up, on the "Finish Up" screen, click "Yes" at the prompt "Are people signing up for specific areas, activities or times?" You will then be able to enter either shift start times (e.g. 2:00 pm) or time spans (e.g. 2-3 pm) in the left hand boxes, along with the number of people needed for each shift or span in the right hand boxes (e.g. 4). There is no limit to the number of time intervals you can include.

Finding sign up sheets

Why can't I find a sign up sheet?

When sign up sheets are created, they can be made public or private by the creator. If the creator chooses to make a sheet private, it cannot be retrieved using the Find feature. In this case, you must get the sign up sheet link from the creator.

The sign up sheet is public, but I still can't find it?

The sign up sheet may be archived if the event has already happened. Otherwise, your search criteria may be too narrow - try removing some criteria.

The other possibility is that your search criteria may be too broad (only the first 10 results are displayed). Try to narrow your search and see if that helps.

What will you use my email address for?

Your email address is only displayed on the sign up sheet for the event sponsor and others who sign up to contact you. HelperSignUp.com will not use your email address for any other reason.

How do I fix or change my sign up sheet?

When the sign up sheet is created, the website will send a message to the email address provided. This message includes two web links, one which can be used to view and change the sign up sheet and one which is meant to be shared with event attenders. It is important that you save this email message as these web links are needed to manage your sign up sheet.

To fix or change your sign up sheet, click on the first web link, scroll to the bottom of the sign up sheet and click on the Change button. An editable version of the sign up sheet is displayed which can be used to change the sign up sheet. Once you are done making changes, scroll to the bottom of the sign up sheet and click on the Update button to finalize your changes.
