Shift scheduling

Your volunteer schedule, with no gaps and no double-booking.

In Zenko, a shift links a volunteer, a checkpoint, a role and a time slot. Everything else builds itself from there: table, timeline, map and command post.

Preview of the shift schedule in Zenko

A schedule that works for you

  • Filterable table view

    Search and filter by volunteer, checkpoint, role or status. Sort by time to prepare every shift change.

  • Timeline view

    See shifts on a timeline: you instantly spot when a checkpoint is uncovered or overstaffed.

  • Conflict detection

    A volunteer assigned to two places at once? Zenko flags it before the problem reaches the course.

  • Confirmation statuses

    Pending, confirmed, cancelled: track who said yes and follow up with the others at the right time.

From the organizing meeting to race morning

The schedule is the heart of trail race operations. Each checkpoint needs different staffing over time: more hands at the aid station when the leaders arrive, marshals in place before the first runner.

Zenko helps you build that schedule checkpoint by checkpoint, then share it. Export it to CSV to print it, send it to checkpoint leads or pin it up at the command post.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I create my own roles?

Yes. Create as many roles as you need (aid station, marshal, medical, course marking, shuttle…) and give each a color to spot it at a glance.

Can a volunteer have several shifts?

Yes. A volunteer can take several shifts in a day. Zenko only flags shifts that overlap.

How do I share the schedule with checkpoint leads?

Export the schedule to CSV to open it in a spreadsheet or print it. Registered volunteers also see their own shifts directly in Zenko.

Your next race deserves a calm command post.
