2. On the top of the page, there will be a banner for Flexible shifts. Go ahead and click Generate shifts
3. You can create one of multiple shifts by indicating the date and time slot per your needs
4. Click Generate shifts
5. Click Confirm
6. Now that you have created the shift(s), you can click Reserve (on the bottom right of your screen).

All done! The administrator from the organization will be notified about your reservation.
