How to link events in Roosted?

Roosted lets you link events together to synchronize details and attendees.

If you need to keep the same details or people across multiple events, linking them is the solution.

See our YouTube tutorial on how to link the events to each other.

How to Create Linked Events:

  1. Create the First Event: Start by creating your initial event in the series as you normally would. You can add shifts, assign people, and set start times, but these details are not mandatory at this stage.

  2. Copy the Event: From the actions button, select "Copy Event."

  3. Choose Dates and Link Events: In the next window, you will be prompted to select the dates for the copied events. Enable the option titled "Do you want to link events and shifts?" to ensure the events are linked.

By following these steps, your new events will be linked, allowing for synchronized details and shifts across the series.

What's different for you (admins):

When you link events together in Roosted, changes made to one event can impact all events in the linked series. Each data field, such as comments, client details, number of workers, and arrival times, can be either linked or unlinked.

If the fields remain linked, the data will sync across all events in the series. When you make changes to a specific field, you will have the option to either:

  • Update Only That Event: This will unlink that particular field from the others.

  • Update All Events in the Series: This will apply the changes to all linked events, keeping the data synchronized.

What's different for workers:

Workers who sign up or request to work on linked events will have to work all shifts in that series: if you've linked shifts for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, a worker requesting those shifts will be required to take all three days, rather than selecting them individually.
