Duties and helper planning (cake sale, set-up, till)
You create duties with the number of people needed, and members sign up as long as spots are free.
EventsPremiumChecked on 30.10.2026
Prerequisites
- You have the permission “Create events” (from Moderation up).
- The club has Premium (duties and helper planning).
Who may do this?
Whoever may create events (from Moderation up) may create duties. Creating and signing up are part of Premium; viewing and signing off stay free. Only the leadership may sign other people up or off and delete duties. Members may sign themselves up.
Step by step
Open duties
In club life (Planning) open the entry “Duties”. With “Period” switch between “Upcoming” and “Past”.
Create a duty
Click “New duty” (or “Create first duty”). Enter the “Task” (for example Cake sale at the summer festival), “Start”, optionally “End” and the “People needed”.
Create a series
With “Repeat (weeks)” you create several identical duties, each one week later (at most 26). 1 means only this duty. Under “Notes (optional)” add what to keep in mind. Click “Create duty”.
Members sign up
Members click “Sign up” as long as spots are free (“… of … filled”). If the duty is full it says “Full”. With “Sign off” they remove themselves again.
Sign off and delete as leadership
With “Sign off …” (leadership) you remove other people from a duty. With “Delete duty” you remove the duty with all sign-ups.
You can find the feature here: /organisation/<kennung>/vereinsleben/dienste
Common errors and solutions
- “Duties are created by the leadership.”
- You lack the permission “Create events”. Ask the leadership.

- Creating duties and signing up are part of Premium. Viewing and signing off keep working.
- “Unfortunately this duty is already full.”
- The duty has no free spots. Choose another or ask the leadership to raise the number of people.
- “Already signed up.” / “This duty is in the past.”
- You are already in, or the duty is over.
- “Only members can sign up.”
- Join the club to sign up.
Good to know
- Duties can belong to an event; then they also appear on the event page (“Duties”).
- The helper exchange (“Take part”) and tasks stay free.
