"Pretty" volunteer-generated reports
Would there be a way for volunteers to generate a “pretty” report of their hours with totals, graphs etc? We are a school, and our volunteers are students, so we’re thinking of something that would be added to the student’s portfolio for use in applying to colleges.

Allow organizer to create event and add volunteers by clicking radio button or tick box next to list of volunteers.
This would allow an organizer to create adhoc events that were attended by members, to which the organizer has identified a need to track the hours in order to ensure volunteers are credited and recognized appropriately. While a organizer can do this now adding a volunteer at a time, it would be far more time efficient click wise to be able to identify multiple volunteers and then click submit.

Small changes to organizer verification email
We have some concerns about the verification email that gets sent to the organizer after a volunteer submits hours. Is it possible to change this email to more clearly indicate that no action is needed from the organizer unless there is an issue with the hours? We are afraid some organizers may think they have to click on the “Report” button just to verify the student’s hours. We are aware that the email text says that no action is needed if everything is fine, but some organizers might gloss over that and just see the big green “Report” button. We…
3 votesWe changed the email so that the report button is less obvious. Hopefully this helps!

Customized Event Registration and Reminder Emails
Hi. It would be incredibly helpful to be able to create custom messages for registration and reminder emails. The feature already exists for cancellation instructions.
If at all possible, I'd like the messages to carry over with duplicated events. It will save me so much time.
Thank you.

View Event description on app
Currently, the even description isn't showing up on the cell phone app when volunteers click on an event. This makes it difficult for people to know what they are signing up for, and they miss important details

Bulk Duplicate Event Customization
When creating a "bulk duplicate" of an event, could it be possible to add an "every other week" or "once a month" option? For instance, we offer a volunteer work night on the first and third monday evening of each month, and our volunteer orientations are the fourth monday of each month. Customizable days/options would be super helpful and time saving!
1 voteWe added a frequency that is “every week”, “every 2 weeks”, “every 3 weeks”, and “every 4 weeks”. It doesn’t capture all the use cases but hopefully it’s slightly helpful.

SMS text notifications
Some volunteers prefer text communication rather than email. The ability to choose which communication option the volunteer would prefer would be great.

Make event organizer public
Event Organizer information is hidden from volunteers unless the organizer puts that information in the Event description. If the organizer forgets, there is no way to know who to contact.

Be able to view events that didn't get any volunteers
We have shifts (hospitality and ushers) that don't get filled and we need to know how many shifts are left open every season (of performances). It would be incredibly helpful to see a report of how many shifts are left without volunteers over a specific period of time.
6 votesIn case you didn’t see the previous comment, If you’re on the Event Sign Up screen, click on the “export” tab to export a month’s worth of events. Exporting the data for a month will include notes to the organizer as well as volunteer info of those who signed up, and unfilled shifts.

Ability go to next event from event page
From the event view page, have a button for next event or previous event. This would alleviate having to go back to the main calendar of events when you need to go through all events to see who or how many signed up for each event.

Categorize events and allow people different access
It would be nice to be able to have the option to make certain events available on the webpage (for the public and new one-time event volunteers to sign up for) and not have all events posted on the webpage that they would have access to sign up for that might not pertain to one-time volunteers.

Conditional hour log fields
Be able to create more than one customized volunteer log form as you might want to collect different information for each activity. Would also like condition logic on form fields (i.e. certain questions only show when a previous question is answered a certain way).

Save custom report settings
When I create a report, I want something slightly different from the default. I like that I can easily change check boxes when I go into advanced search settings, but it would be great if I could save my choices as a custom report setting.
Also, when I choose any grouping method other than "nothing", I no longer have the ability to change which check box information is displayed. I would like to be able to group by activity and volunteer, but I need to see the "notes" field in my report.

total hours
On the individual volunteer logs, it would be most helpful to have a "Total Hours" at the bottom. Also, please add feature to add organization name to top of page when printing out individual log page.
