Allow organizers to export a list of active volunteers and email addresses
This would make it easier to send emails, invite people for events, etc. while this can be filtered from a report through excel, it would still be nice to get a report.

Enhance the Report Summary Section by adding the date the hours were entered for.
Hi,
I often enter hours for some of the volunteers at our facility and I enter several days in a row. Sometimes I get distracted about what date I entered last and while the Report Summary is right there on the left side, I need to use the "edit" function to actually see the date the last entry was for. It would be nice to just have that listed in the summary without drilling into it. It could be be modified to read "6 minutes ago Mackenzie S. volunteered for 2 hours on 5/30/2014" instead of just " 6 minutes…

Repeating, Cusom Milestone Periods
Allow volunteer administrators to set up a custom, repeating period for tracking volunteer milestones. For example, set up weekly, semester, or fortnightly milestone tracking.
Volunteers who completed these milestones would be displayed on the milestones box on your dashboard, so that you could reward them.

Customized milestone time periods
If you want to track volunteers who have put in a certain amount of time in your own customized periods, vote here. This would be very useful for schools that need to track and reward parent volunteer time based on semesters, trimesters, or school years.

Enable adding log hours for future events
Some hours are scheduled but not yet completed. I would like the put those in, and then just be able to hit "completed". I wouldn't have to keep a separate calendar.

Deny hours but they don't get deleted.
It would be nice to be able to deny hours instead of deleting them because our organization has criteria that hour submissions must follow. It would be much easier instead of deleting the hours and then the volunteers have to resubmit them. Also high school students don't check their emails so it would be easier for them to see that their hours got denied. It would also show that we have look at that submission and that we can't approve it yet. Once changes are made then the submission would go back to pending approval. In addition to the denying…
40 votesWhen hours are now denied, a log is created with the message sent over to them. The hour is not deleted but instead put in to the “Rejected” state which a volunteer can and resubmit and read the history of rejections messages.

Administrator comment field
I need a comment field for each volunteer that is not connected to a specific volunteering event. The filed should be visible from the list that shows volunteers and their total hours. It would not be visible to the volunteers.

Kiosk App
Many of my volunteers are elderly and will not have e mail. I would like to be able to enter them as managed volunteers and then have them use the ipad to check in and out by clicking their name when they arrive and clicking there name on departure.
Thanks

Add total hours to embedded statistics
This is so small, I'm supposing it was just overlooked. But when I embed the statistics boxes on my website, the total for the last six weeks is shown, but not the alltime total as can be seen on the ourvolts site.I'd like the alltime total to show.
1 voteThank you for bringing this up! Those graphs now have total hours inside them. Thanks!

Change the font color options.
When printing out volunteer lists, the font is pale grey and hard to read. Would like a color that shows up as black in a black and white printing.
