Additionally, SwitchCrew caters to the unique needs of your events by offering the capability to add 'Guest Users'. This is an ideal feature for including crew members who may not be a regular part of your organization but are necessary for specific events. While Guest Users can be assigned to positions, it's important to note that they have certain limitations compared to regular users: they do not receive alerts and cannot mark their availability. This specialized function enhances your ability to manage diverse crewing requirements efficiently.
Adding events on SwitchCrew is designed to be a streamlined and user-friendly process. Here's a quick guide on how to do it:

- Begin by entering the essential details of your event: its title, the start date and time, and the end date and time. These basic details are crucial for providing your crew with the information they need.
For events that require more in-depth planning, SwitchCrew enhances your capability with the 'Event Extension Attributes' feature. Accessible via the admin settings, this feature allows you to input additional, more specific information about your event. You can include various supplementary details like:
- Specific location instructions

- Dress code guidelines
- And any other pertinent information related to the event
By incorporating these extended attributes, you ensure that every member of your crew is well-informed and thoroughly prepared for a successful event.
