# Internal staff training rostering

> How to use location rosters to schedule internal staff training sessions

Location rosters can be used to schedule internal staff training sessions alongside group activities and housing. By creating a location profile for the training venue, you can roster multiple workers to attend the same session.

## Setting up for training sessions

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a location profile">
    Go to **Maintenance** → **Location Profile** and click **Add Location**. Enter a code and description for the training venue (for example, "TRAIN-HO" for "Head Office Training Room"), then click **Save**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add location details">
    Double-click the profile to open it and add the venue address and contact information. Click **Save**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a location roster">
    Go to **Operations** → **Location Roster** and click **Create New Location Roster**. Select the training location profile and click **Add**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Rostering training sessions

Once the location roster is created, you can schedule training sessions using the multi person appointment feature.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the roster">
    Click **View** next to the training location roster to open the calendar view.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a shift">
    Double-click on the training date to open the **Add multi person appointment** window.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the details">
    Select the appropriate service, enter the training start and end times, and add any notes about the session.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add workers">
    Toggle the **Type** to **Worker**, click **Select**, and tick the workers attending the training. Click **Use Selected**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Done** to create individual shift line items for each worker.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>If training sessions recur on a regular schedule, toggle **Shift Repeats** on when creating the shift to set up a recurring series.</Tip>
