A Blog for us to Learn from Each Other

Volunteer programs change over time so we make it easy to revisit your site settings and make adjustments. This flexibility gives you time to test out different settings and modify the site if your program changes. If you go to Organizer Dashboard > Settings, you can make adjustments to your profile fields, hour log, milestones, verifications, and other settings.
Volunteer Profile Fields
You can add or modify questions on the volunteer profile if you decide to track additional data through the site. If a field is required, volunteers will be prompted to complete it before logging hours.
Hour Log Fields
If you need to update your hour log categories, you can revisit the settings to add or remove options from the list. If you delete a category, all of the historical hours will still be accessible through your reports page. You also have the option to add new fields to the hour log if you decide to track additional data beyond hours and category.
Milestones
By revisiting the milestones page, you can adjust the number of required hours, add or delete a milestone, or adjust the time period for accrual. All changes will be updated instantly so volunteers have access to the most recent requirements.
Additional Settings
More Settings: For additional customization, you can visit the More Settings tab to update site information, modify privacy settings, and adjust default settings.
