Create user accounts for volunteers on my volunteer site
After creating a site, I need to onboard over 100 volunteers. I have all their email addresses and I would like to automatically create accounts for them so they can login and so that I can log hours for them.

The capability to create a widget for my organizations website
I want my volunteers to be able to log their hours right on our own website. You could have a widget builder that uses HTML code to embed the widget on any of our own personal organizations websites.

I want to approve every hour that my volunteer submits because I need to keep them accountable
Right now I only receive an email when volunteers volunteer, but I want to go in an literally approve all of them

Make reporting easier, more robust, and printable
I appreciate being able to export all our data, but I'd prefer to sort and manipulate the data on OurVolts so I don't have to do it in a spreadsheet

Allow Adminstrators to create test users
Provide adminsitrators a dummy test user setup so they can SEE how the different options will work for different users. These should be easy to delete afterwards so that start-up data is not muddied with test data.

Import legacy hours
I would love the ability to import legacy hours, synching through email address identification. Many of us are dealing with time entry in old systems and spreadsheets, but can use this information for grants and other uses. I am entering manually, and it has been a long drawn out process
6 votesYou can now do this with the “Import Hours” tab in your management interface

Double verification for organizer emails
I appreciate that the info now is emailed to the supervisor for approval and it's my understanding that if they agree with the information they have received they can just do nothing and it's considered approved. I just wish there were some way to know for sure that they had received the email and indeed have approved it. Like if they could do something simple like click a link in the email and it would register as approved. I'm pretty sure that they can leave a little comment if desired, too, right?

In the advanced reports, allow us to choose which fields we want displayed
can you list all available fields and let the person pick what fields they'd like to see and in what order on the report? It's kind of like a sort option similar to excel.

Require an activity to be chosen when logging volunteer hours

0 votesYes, required by default.

Easier reporting of aggregate data
I have a school wide side with 20 "projects". I find it very easy to export data on the projects, but it is extremely difficult to find easy data outputs for all projects as a whole for the school. When we go to the main site, I would like the site owners be able to look at data for all of their projects in one place.
0 votesIf you have a group site, you can go to the group manage section and see graphs and reports across all of your sites.

Make graphs on site pages clearer that they are for the overall site and not the individual user
Users are getting confused that the hours listed on the OurVolts sites are their own hours. Can you clarify the titles?
