  2. Digital volunteer application form with fields for e-signature and uploading documents

    When we onboard volunteers, we have them fill out paperwork to describe niche things such as an past education, language skills, motivation for volunteering, and more. We also collect documents such as a background check copy, driverse lisences, and covid vaccine card. Volunteers lastly sign a few forms such as a child protection policy.

    I would love a feature for a volunteer to fill out a form that would populate their personal information to their account. It could also request an esignature or checkbox to agree to policies and would allow for the volunteer or the manager to attach documents…

  3. Option to "add" an additional volunteer; that requires volunteer's name & email address.

    Sometimes I'll have a service hour opportunity; and the person signing-up puts a notation in the comment area that there will be two people volunteering. When they do this; there's no way for the available & remaining openings to be updated. For instance; if there were 5 available openings; and someone signed up for two people as I mentioned; the remaining openings would reflect 4 and not 3. Thank you for your consideration. :)

  4. Allow for visible profile fields that the volunteer can not edit.

    Some of our events require a background check. We have a hidden profile field that we use to make sure that only volunteers with the right credentials can sign up- but our volunteers can not see that field on their profile. It would be helpful if we could "tag" them or otherwise show them the information in the field without allowing them to change or update it.

  6. 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…

  7. use pin codes for the kiosk

    you just put in your pin number and it records you and the time you signed it and out. That would eliminate the need to search for your name or type it in.

  8. Customization of charts and graphs

    I'd like the option to customize the charts on my site to show monthly hours by activity. It would also be nice to customize for a specific profile field, such as grade level

  9. I am looking for a feature to submit feedback surveys to volunteers so that we can grow an improved experience to our volunteers.

    Periodically it is important to survey our volunteers to find out how we can improve our communications or perhaps improve the volunteer experience on campus.

  10. Display volunteer names on Events page

    Displaying the volunteer names on the Events page would be a great usability improvement. Right now the only way I found to get an overview for, say, a whole month of volunteers is to use the Reports section of the Organizer Dashboard.

  11. Gamification / Leader board

    When you log in on mobile or web, would be cool to see how you compare to your peers or even by category. Some competition / gamification will bring people back more often

  13. Enter event with specific dates

    I'd like to be able to post an event to multiple days, even if that event doesn't follow a specific pattern. If I need it on a Tuesday, then two weeks later it's Friday, then another month later it's a Wednesday, then the week after that it's Tuesday again. If I could create an event (or use a template) and post the event to the multiple specific dates I pick out, that'd be great!

  14. Set Notifications

    I used to be a classroom teacher and when I would need a substitute teacher, I would create an absence in our absence reporting system, similar to the way I now create an "Event" in Track it Forward. However, as soon as I created an absence, all substitute teachers who created accounts and were a part of our system would receive an email or text alert letting them know that a subbing opportunity has been created. I would love to have a feature like this for Track it Forward and our volunteers. Rather than have to rely on volunteers going…

  15. Notifications on reported hours after approval

    We’ve noticed that there is no way for an approver to know if an organizer reported an issue after the hours are already approved. Is there some way that approvers can be notified when an organizer reports an issue? It is clear before the approval because of the little red icon that shows, but after approval the only way is to go and find that volunteer log and see the issues reported on it. And an approver would never do that, because they are not notified of any reports.

    It would be nice to have the option for custom date formats, especially outside the U.S.

  18. Allow user to select multiple dates to input recurring hours in a single submission.

    We input our volunteer hours once a month and it would be nice to input multiple, recurring dates and times once, rather than submitting 4 times for our weekly volunteers. Selecting multiple dates at once would be great!

  19. Provide an API to enable integration with other time tracking systems and/or a bulk upload

    Volunteers in our group are using a variety of other time tracking systems and currently have to manually load their hours into TrackItForward.
    An API and/or bulk upload capability would make this easier and therefore encourage volunteers to keep their hours up to date in TrackItForward

  20. Volunteer export based on different criteria

    It would be great if each volunteer could export their hours based on different criteria. We would love for volunteers to generate their own reports based on activity, so that they can get their total hours for each kind of activity that we have.
