Workforce response based event management methods and systems

Abstract

Event organizers must assign volunteers, staff, sub-contractors etc. over multiple roles, multiple shifts, and multiple locations. Assigning individuals, whether a few to hundreds or thousands, requires the user to filter through registration information and align this to the roles/shifts etc. This is further complicated when the registration forms used to acquire user data are custom questionnaires. Embodiments of the invention automatically generates custom filters for subsequently filtering of the entries made by registrants where the user generates custom questions. Further, embodiments of the invention allow the importation of data from other sources wherein if it includes fields not supported by the database into which the data is being imported the system automatically adds new custom fields to the database as well as supporting the establishment of new questionnaires, new custom filters, and triggering registration updates from existing registrants to acquire new data for the new custom fields.
