How to use the CCCC

Family 1:

Select the number of families in the co-op

Enter your name in the “Family 1” field, then click the colored box next to it

Mark the days on the calendar you are not available. To mark the same day every week, click the name of that day. (If you’re not available any Tuesdays, click Tuesday.)

When you’re finished marking availability, click the “Link Calendar” button at bottom and it will automatically copy the generated link for you to send to Family 2

Family 2-X:

Open the link you get from Family X-1

Enter your name in the “Family X” field, then click the colored box next to it Mark the days on the calendar when you are not available

When you’re finished marking availability, click the “Link Calendar” button at bottom and paste the automatically copied link to send it to the next family

Last family:

Once everyone has indicated their availability (every family field should be filled and all the colors represented on the calendar), click the “Create Schedule” button at bottom

The calendar now represents an approximately fair schedule given your availabilities. (If for any reason you don’t like it, press the “Create” button again to generate a different fair option with the same restrictions)

To share the calendar, use the “Link Calendar” button to create a link to the schedule, or use the “Download Schedule” button to download an html file of your schedule.

Troubleshooting:

To exclude or include weekend days, use the “Weekends” toggle at top

To go back and modify the availability calendar after you’ve generated a schedule, click the “Change Availability”/”Show Schedule” toggle at top

To modify the final schedule, select family colors as you did for the availability calendar and use them to reassign scheduled days (if you want to), then download or share as normal
