Not from the back end, but you can enable the Live Search feature, and, when logged in as Admin, you can sign up individuals from the front end.
See the documentation here:
https://stephensherrardplugins.com/docs/pta-volunteer-sign-up-sheets-documentation/Enable Sign-up form live search? — If you check this box, admin users can use the public side to sign-up other volunteers for tasks. Start typing in a first or last name on the sign-up form, and matching users/volunteers will show in a drop down list you can select to automatically fill the fields. When you submit the sign-up, that sign-up gets assigned to that user (if they have a user account on your site) instead of to your admin account.
Live Search Tables — Select which tables to search for the above live search field. You can select WordPress Users, or the Sign-Ups table, or both.

Stephen SherrardKeymasterThanks for the feedback Tina. I don’t charge for the current free version since it started its life as another plugin that I “forked” into my own version 6 or 7 years ago for my son’s school PTA web site.
But, yes, if I ever do have the time and inclination to create a much better version (starting with a better database foundation), then it will certainly be a paid version, and everything will be in one plugin. At this point, though, it doesn’t appear to be worth my time unless I can aggressively market it to enough schools and non-profits that are using WordPress to generate enough sales to at least cover my time investment.

Stephen SherrardKeymasterNo, sorry, but that is not a current feature.
Stephen SherrardKeymasterAt this time there are no add-ons for additional fields or to allow people to select multiple tasks at once.
Please note, though, that if you require your volunteers to have a WordPress user account, and they are logged in when they sign up, then the information will be automatically filled in on the form when they sign up, if that info already exists in their user account. If the info does not exist, then after they sign up for the first task, that info is saved with their user account and will be pre-populated in the fields for any future sign ups.
I have done a couple of very large custom programming jobs for other organizations using the free plugin as the core, and those have included custom fields and lots of other custom functionality. So, if there is something you absolutely need that isn’t already covered by one of the available extensions, you can always contact me privately to discuss programming a custom extension to meet your needs.
Stephen SherrardKeymasterI’m not a CSS expert, and have not used the Divi theme, so can’t really help you directly with regards to that theme.
My plugin actually uses very little CSS to style the tables and other output. Most of the way things are displayed from my plugin is from the default styles of your theme.
My suggestion would be to use the option in my plugin to disable the plugin’s CSS, and then hard code your CSS into your child theme, or wherever Divi lets you put custom CSS.
You can start by copying the relevant CSS from my plugin, which you can find in the assets/css folder. The public side css is the style.css file. You’ll see it’s very small, with the top part styling the tables in a very minimal way, the middle part is mostly for error/success messages, and the bottom part is for styling the divs as tables by default if you have the plugin set to output divs instead of tables.
Copy over the parts you need, and make changes as desired. Most all of the output has custom classes as well, so it should be relatively easy to target just those elements you want to change with some custom CSS. Just inspect the elements in your browser to get the class names for anything you want to change.
