Ability to upload documents into the event description area
We often have a furniture layout map that I want my volunteers to review before the event. It would be handy to upload it into the description area so they can see what the room will look prior to setting up.

Pictures from an activity
It would be great if a volunteer can add a picture or two from their activity. We usually take pictures at activities like the Food Bank so people can see what we did. When a volunteer logs their hours they are given an opportunity to describe what they did and the picture(s) could be part of or related to that.
4 votesVolunteers can not capture photos when submitting hours. Please let us know if you’re interested and don’t have access to this yet.

Some organizations don't use the term "hours" so this would allow that label to be changed to anything else.

hours in the last semester
I like the User Dashboard interface, the hour log and graphs are excellent and very visible. As the manager however I would like to be able to customise the time period visible to the users. I would prefer to change 'Your volunteer hours in the last year' to 'Your volunteer hours this semester' or 'this month', 'this term', 'this season'.
3 votesHi Oliver,
You can actually set a custom “start date” which you can adjust to start at the beginning of the semester. Does that meet your needs or are you looking for something else?

Have the Head of the Committee approve the hours you log in.
When you post your hours, you can have the Head of the Committee you're working on approve the hours you log in for verification.
1 voteThis is already possible with out hour log approval process. Any one who is a “coordinator” will receive an email when a new hour comes in that needs to be approved.

logging activity as "other/ misc."
not all volunteer activities fit into the pre-selected categories. It would be helpful to have an open choice, such as "other" or "miscellaneous" with the details to follow in the description box.
1 voteYou can actually do this by enabling the the “Allow New Activity Entry” feature

Pie Chart depicting percent involvement
Our school has a minimum of 12 hours volunteered each year. I would like everyone to see how we are progressing towards 100% of our families giving at least that number of hours. It would be great to have this as a custom pie chart on everyone's hour entry page. Also, I would like to be able to embed this in our school website and to transfer it to our newsletter to keep families encouraged to volunteer and complete all their hours.

In-Kind Donations and Mileage
I would like to be able to track in-kind donations of goods or services provided by other organizations to my non-profit. These would be items that have a cash value that may not be translated into hours. It would also be nice to be able to have volunteers track mileage.

Map to show where volunteers volunteered
We have a large area for the project and volunteers will be volunteering in a variety of locations, a map where we can pinpoint areas the volunteers have covered would be really useful. Also the map on our front page would probably be more useful is we could outling the project area rather than pinpoint a particular site.
4 votesThis is now available if you enable the advanced verification features. Turn on the GPS coordinates to allow volunteers to drop a pin, and you can see that on a map on your organizer dashboard.
