Change Report Date Format
Right now, when I export to Excel, I can't use their feature to change to date and I can only organize alphabetically. I want ot be able to sort my data by volunteer than by date, but with the current date format, it won't let me.

Log time as hours and/or minutes
This way volunteers don't have to work out how much of an hour (0.2) or whatever they have done.
7 votesWe now have a feature to collect time in and time out and auto calculated the hours.

Access to event files on app
Currently we Managers can attach files to an event, but they are only accessible from a volunteers computer. Those files most of the time contain specific information that could be crucial in the field, but volunteers cant access them via the app. Also, is a draw back from the fluidity of the system

"Activity" name change appear on Reporting
Currently when you change the "activity" name it only appears on the front end to the volunteer (the site and app), however when running reports that category is still labeled as "activity" and makes things confusing. It takes away from the fluidity of the system

allow 15 min increments
instead of 30 min. increments of time, bump up to 15 min options.
1 voteYou actually already have the ability to do that on both the event sign ups page and hour log form. Please contact us at support@trackitforward.com for instructions on how.

Search Feature on Events Page
We have received feedback that it would be nice for our school families to be able to search for a particular event on the calendar or even to be able to color code the event types to make it easier. Our calendar gets very filled up and it's hard to sort through everything.
2 votesWe have added color coding for up to 10 different categories. Please let us know how this works for you and if you’d like any other adjustments to it. Thank you for the request!

Under Report Summary/Approve Users
I would like to be able to delete or archive users that I am not going to approve. They just sit there waiting for approval and I know that I am not going to approve them. My list has gotten long. I can't tell who I have already looked at and who is new to the list. I would like to delete them once I determine that I don't want them to have access to my site. If I do want to grant them access them I will approve them. Hope this makes sense!
1 votePlease see my email. This is already done :)

Pre-fill hours from an associated event on the app
The website and mobile app do not align with hour submissions. When associating an event on the app, it does not prefill the hours from the event sign-up. We would benefit from that being a default setting where the event must be selected first to submit hours. We are having trouble with multiple members submitting random hours and random events.

Member Directory
Currently we use Track It Forward for hours tracking and a separate service for an online member directory. It would be great if we could combine those and do all that in Track It Forward.
1 voteTrack it Forward can extensively collect information about members using profile fields. this information, however is only available for organizers and not regular volunteers. What you could do is periodically export the volunteers list and publish the member directory.

Create volunteer interest categories
There should be a way to allow volunteers to say choose what type of volunteering opportunities they would like to know about. DO they want to volunteer in the classroom, at special events, or only for evening hours.
This would allow you to email just one group of volunteers instead of everyone.
3 votesIn case you didn’t know, you can already do this. You will need to create a new volunteer profile field for interests that volunteers can fill out when registering on the site. Contact our support team if you need assistance.
-
Be able to view activities with associated approvers.
The only way to keep track of who can approve entries for what activity is to keep a separate spreadsheet or methodically sort through each volunteer's permissions. With a large number of activities and volunteers this becomes a challenge to track.
8 votesYou can now get a report of who is assigned which activity or volunteer type by going to organizer dashboard >> Approvals >> Approvers. Contact our support team if you need assistance.

Automatic birthday notifications
I have a "favorite things" form I have my volunteers fill out that includes their birthday so I can get them something meaningful. It would be nice to have this info in the system so I don't have to keep it on paper and have an automatic reminder that someone's bday is approaching (i.e., "Here are your volunteers who have February birthdays" email sent to me the last week of the prior month).
2 votesYou could capture the favorite things in a volunteers profile field however we don’t have a mechanism to auto notify on that.

Import - Activity Column Missing
We are trying to distinguish hours that are service, meeting, research, planning from each other. Currently when I import hours I can only add category but not the detail related to the activity - e.g. meeting, service etc.
Please consider adding another column associated to customized activity
2 votesWe have the ability to do this. Please speak to our support team about how!

Enable Shift Start & End Times to Include Quarter Hours, Not Just Top of Hour and Half Hour
It would be very helpful when setting up shifts in an event to be able to have start and end times include quarter hours, not just top of hour or half hour. I've had a handful events where I the shift was to start at 8:45am or end at 10:45pm, but the only options available to me are either 8:30am/9:00am or 10:30pm/11:00pm.
Does anyone else think this would be useful or helpful?
3 votesHello and thank you for sharing.
GREAT NEWS! This already exists and I can show you how to do it. When you go to edit an event, in the shift start and end time text box, instead of selecting a dropdown option, input your time (ex: 7:15AM) then press TAB on your keyboard. It should keep that time for you.
Note: If you hit ENTER, the time inserted will change to a dropdown option, so make sure you hit TAB or any other key.
If you’re still having issues, please email our support team for more help!
Thanks.
