Logging Hours on behalf of your Volunteers (in the Dashboard)

In addition to scheduled events, many organizations ask their volunteers to perform tasks on their own time.

The best way to structure these is by using the "Flexible Timing & Location" template to create Opportunities that ask volunteers to report back directly to you on the work they've completed.

However, using the Dashboard, you can also manually update a volunteer's actions on their behalf (you'll need the create the Opportunity first of course!).

Here are some steps:

• Navigate to the Opportunities tab and open the "My Opportunities" sub-tab and select the Opportunity to which you add a volunteer's hours.
• Use the Log Completed Hours button and select the participant(s) you are awarding hours for
• Note that you can also use the CSV upload feature to log completed hours
• Select the date & time that the completed hours were fulfilled (unique to Ongoing Opportunity types, since there are no time slots)
• Select the number of hours you are awarding and click the Log Completions button, and you will have awarded hours manually to your volunteers!
