To help you to manage your open lists, you can click on the "Hide Responses" menu. This will hide all the lists to which you have already provided an availability response.
The coloured dots on the left hand side show the response that you have given to that specific list.
The traffic lights on the right hand side of the list then shows you how all the other people who have been invited to the list have responded. This might help you to determine if you are really needed or not. The red flag alongside a list indicates that the admin need an urgent response to this list.
NB1: You can change your mind as many times as you like up until the point where the list is allocated.
NB2: If you receive an invitation email and the list is not shown in the app, then this will be due to the list already being allocated.

See the FAQ below for more information on this.
One of the goals of the Alloc8tor platform is to minimise the number of emails you receive and to ensure that the emails you are sent are relevant to you. You can click into the menu and adjust your preferences at various levels. You can in fact turn off all emails here, but you will always receive the confirmation email if you are allocated a list.
