Primary metrics
The top row of the dashboard shows four key numbers, recalculated on every page load.Fill Rate
The percentage of shift slots that have been assigned. Calculated as
filledSlots / totalSlots * 100. Displays green at 80%+, yellow at 50–79%, and red below 50%.Volunteers
Total registered volunteers for the event, regardless of whether they have been assigned to any shift.
Hours Tracked
Sum of the duration of every shift in the event, in hours. Represents projected total volunteer demand, not actual hours worked.
Active Personnel
Volunteers currently checked in and not yet checked out. Updates in real time as check-ins happen in Kiosk mode. Click the card to open the Active Personnel view.
Active Personnel vs Total Checked In: Active Personnel (
checked_in = true and checked_out_at = null) counts only volunteers currently on-site. Total Checked In counts everyone who has checked in during the event, including those who have already checked out.Secondary metrics
Below the primary row, three secondary stat cards provide supporting context.| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Shifts | Number of shifts created for the event. |
| Total Slots | Sum of all required volunteer slots across every shift, derived from required_groups per shift. |
| Late Arrivals | Assignments where the shift start time has passed but the volunteer has not checked in (checked_in = false). Highlighted in red when greater than zero. |

Kiosk mode is optimized for self-service use on a shared tablet at the check-in desk.Kiosk mode requires an authenticated session.

Broadcast Hub
The Broadcast page (/events/[id]/broadcast) lets you send a bulk email announcement to volunteers. You can target all volunteers, only those currently checked in, or volunteers from a specific group.
Each broadcast is sent via Gmail SMTP using up to three rotating send accounts (configured via GMAIL_USER_1/2/3 environment variables). Recipients are added as BCC in batches of 25 to protect privacy and stay within Gmail’s per-account limits.
The Broadcast Hub requires Gmail SMTP credentials to be configured in your environment. See Environment Variables for setup instructions.
