Workshops and group activities

Setting up a group exchange for a workshop

Step by step: create a group exchange, add participants and choose the kind.

You can organise a group exchange for a group, even if you are not taking part yourself.

Go to Group Exchanges on the member side of the site. Press Back to Site if you are in the Broker Panel.
Press New Exchange.
Details: enter a Title, such as "Bike repair workshop, 12 June", and a Description (optional). Under What kind of group exchange is this?, choose the kind. Workshop or class is chosen to begin with. Enter the hours the page asks for, then press Next.
Participants: search for members and add each one under Giving time or Receiving time. If you are taking part, use Add yourself as. You need at least one person on each side. Check each person's hours. Press Next.
Review Split: read What everyone will earn or pay. It shows what each person earns or pays, and any hours that go to the community time fund. Press Back to fix anything, or Review to go on.
Confirm: check everything and press Create Group Exchange.

After you create it

Open the exchange and press Start Exchange. Participants get a notification asking them to confirm.
Help anyone who is unsure how to press Confirm My Hours.
When everyone shows as Confirmed, press Complete Exchange.

Check that everyone receiving time has enough time credits before you start. One short balance stops the whole exchange.
Every participant must confirm from their own account. Plan time for this, especially with large groups.
If the activity is cancelled, press Cancel Exchange. No hours move.
