  1. Create Custom Event Registration Fields

    It would be useful if we could specify custom fields that volunteers must complete in order to sign up for an event. Right now the only option is using the Message to Organizer box, which can enforce required questions and makes reporting difficult.

  2. Ability to exclude blanks in filtered reports

    Some of the new report templates categorize hours as "blank" when they don't match the criteria of the selected report. It would be helpful if we could unselect this since it's not necessary for us.

  3. Enable the option to set configurations for time served in a meeting under the Hour Log

    Currently the option allows you to select only one time or duration option from a drop down menu at the top of the form, but that doesn't always work if a volunteer is entering multiple entries. For example, it would be great to be able to submit a list of donated items without needing a time entry, then submit the hours for a planning meeting, & also submit volunteer hours for a field trip. The second additional questions would be configured to appear after one of the ways to volunteer was selected (marked as a YES). It would look something…

  4. Expand Exporting to Calendar Integration Without Need for File Export/Import

    Today, the only way to keep our organization's website calendar (Google-based) synchronized with Track It Forward is to
    1. Export the events (1 month at a time)
    2. Save the file as an Excel file
    3. Delete all columns except Description, Date, Start Time, and End Time
    4. Delete Duplicate rows
    5. Rename columns to be compatible with fields required by Google Calendar
    6. Add End Date column
    7. Change Start and End Time values to have a space (e.g., 8:00pm --> 8:00 pm) and change format of column to Date type
    8. Save file
    9. Export into Google calendar

    3. approved hours,
    4. pending hours, and

  7. Dashboard for upates

    Some type of dashboard that pops up when a volunteer logs in that shows any news or updates before they proceed with checking in. With many on-going policy changes due to COVID-19, it would be nice to have a dashboard or updates/articles that can be posted. A "home" page.

  8. Allow approvals from volunteer page

    I think it would be AMAZING if approvers could bulk approve hours from the individual volunteers' page. As club advisor, I often look to see what individual students are doing, check their history, look at progress, etc. I know I can review and approve single entries, but how great to be able to look at allll of one student's entries, click the checkboxes or select all, and approve all at one time.

  10. add notes section to the digital sign in sheet

    add notes section to the digital sign-in sheet, so volunteers can write something or answer a question when they check-in.

  11. Preserve filter selections on calendar

    Every time volunteers visit the event calendar, they need to select what categories they want to filter by. It would be convenient if category selection could be preserved for each user based on their most recent selection. For example, if I filter for Location A events, the next time I check the calendar Location A is already preselected.

  12. Track It Forward API

    While the reporting and export capabilities in TIF are fairly robust, it would be more convenient to exchange data with some web-based apps directly in real-time. APIs are more prevalent, and in a lot of cases, expected in web apps. Are there any plans for adding an API at some point in the future?

  13. Enhanced Search Capabilities for Rejected Hours

    I would like to use the Rejected Hours list to send out a reminder email to volunteers who haven't fixed their entry. It would be ideal if I could search by date, active status, etc. to limit my email to relevant volunteers.

  14. Export pending hours from approval queue

    I'd like the ability to export hours that are currently pending approval so I can review them in a spreadsheet and then do a bulk approval. Sorting them in a spreadsheet would make it easier to compare entries made by the same person and/or entries made for the same events to ensure consistency. The existing filters help some, but it would save time if I could just sort it by my own criteria.

  15. Include Event Details in the Reports

    Right now, Report data is limited to just the event name. It would be useful if we could select additional event data, such as Shift Name to see exactly what the volunteer did.

  16. Allowing separate approvers for subcategories under a single activity / milestone

    Allow different approvers to be set to approve hours in subcategories under a specific milestone. Example - milestone could be hours volunteering in a home improvement program. Have a person set to approve all volunteer plumbing hours, set a different person to approve any landscape hours, set a different person to approve any electrical hours etc. All hours regardless of the approver (Plumbing, landscape, electrical etc) count toward the main home improvement category.

  17. Differentiate hours within a milestone

    The minimum requirements for our group is 30 total hours... however, 5 of those have to be fundraising, 15, community service, and 10 school service. The kids are looking for a way to know when they meet each of those minimum requirement goals and our secretary and I are looking for a way to log that data more efficiently for club record keeping purposes.

  18. Exact Totals for Each Milestone Category

    In the Track It Forward app, participants should be able to see their totals in each milestone category. Currently, it just shows the total until milestone is achieved. It would be great to see the actual number of hours in each milestone category above the required hours for milestone.
