Display volunteer names on Events page
Displaying the volunteer names on the Events page would be a great usability improvement. Right now the only way I found to get an overview for, say, a whole month of volunteers is to use the Reports section of the Organizer Dashboard.

In the volunteer report add a field that would provide a date of "Last RSVP"
This feature would include in the volunteer report a record of the volunteers most recent RSVP to an event. This is important to me as a volunteer coordinator as we need to track who is active or not. We mark volunteers as inactive after 6 months of no activity.

Gamification / Leader board
When you log in on mobile or web, would be cool to see how you compare to your peers or even by category. Some competition / gamification will bring people back more often

I am looking for a feature to submit feedback surveys to volunteers so that we can grow an improved experience to our volunteers.
Periodically it is important to survey our volunteers to find out how we can improve our communications or perhaps improve the volunteer experience on campus.

Reports for Rejected Hour Submissions
We would like to see reporting capabilities for rejected hour submissions - both corrected/resubmitted/approved and those still in rejected state - that include the emailed reason for rejection that the reviewer provided.

Allow user to select multiple dates to input recurring hours in a single submission.
We input our volunteer hours once a month and it would be nice to input multiple, recurring dates and times once, rather than submitting 4 times for our weekly volunteers. Selecting multiple dates at once would be great!

Notification when events have been added to the calendar.
It would be nice if the app provided notification when events have been added to the calendar.

Be able to sort approval list by date and then name
On the approval dashboard, it would be nice to be able to sort the list by volunteer date and then name. It's too easy for volunteers to double enter hours. Having a way to see when they've entered the same hours, on the same day, for the same project helps us take a closer look. (Other idea, if there was a way to warn volunteers that they already have an entry on that day, for the same hours, under the same area/project, we would like that.)

Customize schedule for event reminders
For automated notifications, it would be useful to customize when event reminders are sent to volunteers. We require 72 hours notice for cancellations so we would like to email them 4 days prior to the event instead of 2 days

Provide an API to enable integration with other time tracking systems and/or a bulk upload
Volunteers in our group are using a variety of other time tracking systems and currently have to manually load their hours into TrackItForward.
An API and/or bulk upload capability would make this easier and therefore encourage volunteers to keep their hours up to date in TrackItForward2 votes -
Option for admins to receive a copy of emails sent
I'd like to receive a copy of emails that I send out through the Events and Volunteers section. This would make it easier to confirm delivery, keep accurate records, and re-use email content in the future.

Auto-assignation of shifts based on preferences and availability of volunteers.
This would be a combination of two features: the ability for volunteers to set their availability and event preferences, and the ability of the website to assign volunteers by maximizing preferences, and minimizing time conflicts.

Submitting hours for a volunteer
Currently, submitting hours for a volunteer must be done under the 'Overview' tab by selecting a volunteer from a drop down list.
It would be nice to be able to submit hours for a specific volunteer under their 'Timesheet' tab.

Running List of Cancellations
I would like a running list of cancellations available just like the "rejections" tab.
I would to see if volunteers cancel often or if there is a particular event volunteers cancel for the most, etc.

Create customized charts - based on needs of organization.
Create customized charts. During presentations, requesting grants and tracking how volunteer hours are spent - it is more eye catching to have pictiures along with words. Executives and persons who have stake in the organization would be more likely to see charts than read words.
I wanted a chart of time spent by volunteers per activity/per month1 vote -

Not allow signing OFF of an event!
Not allowing volunteers to sign off of an event LESS THAN 24 HOURS PRIOR TO THE EVENT. If a volunteer tries to sign off they should be instructed to find a replacement or to contact the event coordinators.

Showing messages on events as comments for everyone to see, like on signup genius
On signup genius, when a person signs up, they can make a comment that shows to everyone who has the link to the signup. It is nice for instances where they need to let everyone know the specifics of what they're bringing. It would be a great feature to have on track it forward. When people send messages, it goes just to the organizer, and sometimes it would be very helpful if everyone on the signup could see.

Year-round events
Would like to have a start date and end date for events. Some of our events are by trimester or year-round.

Total hours divided by trimester
Our families have to complete a total of 45 hours but we split those hours by trimester (15 hours x 3). Not sure how to configure?
