more than one criteria for a milestone
Our students have to earn 150 hours AND submit and a link to their electronic portfolio to earn a milestone. It would be great if they could do both from this application.

Ability for volunteers to see history of past monthly milestones achieved
My volunteers have a repeating monthly goal of 1 hour per month every month. Currently when they look in the mobile app, they can only see whether or not they achieved their milestone for the current month, but they cannot look in the past to see the months prior. I would like volunteers to have the ability to see past months and whether or not they achieved their monthly goal for each month they have so far been a volunteer.

Allow multiple milestone timeframes
We have different kinds of Milestones and it would be great if we could track both simultaneously and not have to choose.

Add event name column on verification dashboard
Have events name show up as another column, because right now when you verify hours there is no activity associated to an event. Therefore we have to write the event name on the note in order to be able to tell what the hours belong to.
It will be great if there was an activity column and an event column, so Events can have their names posted.1 vote -
Milestones and independent approvers for sub-activities
Adding this feature would make Track it Forward almost perfect. Allow milestone tracking and separate hour approvals for sub categories under a main activity. To be clear, it would be good to have the option of a main activity milestone. Example Campus Service may have a 25 hour milestone. But within that Activity there could be sub-categories that students need to track for awards. Example - 10 hours of TA work, approved by individual teachers, or 10 hours of volunteering with Athletics, approved by a different teacher etc...But all counting towards the large bucket of 25 hours for campus service.…

Prevent Overlapping Events in the Calendar
We have a problem where committee chairs are beginning to create overlapping events without first checking the calendar. Can a feature be added to prevent overlapping events?

Send email to select volunteers from event
I'd like the option to customize which volunteers to email from an event/shift instead of emailing all registered volunteers

Limit the field size, in other words, the number of characters in the Hour Log Notes field;
Some volunteers write an entire novel in this space because there is no limit (I'm exaggerating, of course)

Create Custom Event Registration Fields
It would be useful if we could specify custom fields that volunteers must complete in order to sign up for an event. Right now the only option is using the Message to Organizer box, which can enforce required questions and makes reporting difficult.

Include Event Details in the Reports
Right now, Report data is limited to just the event name. It would be useful if we could select additional event data, such as Shift Name to see exactly what the volunteer did.

Export pending hours from approval queue
I'd like the ability to export hours that are currently pending approval so I can review them in a spreadsheet and then do a bulk approval. Sorting them in a spreadsheet would make it easier to compare entries made by the same person and/or entries made for the same events to ensure consistency. The existing filters help some, but it would save time if I could just sort it by my own criteria.

Enhanced Search Capabilities for Rejected Hours
I would like to use the Rejected Hours list to send out a reminder email to volunteers who haven't fixed their entry. It would be ideal if I could search by date, active status, etc. to limit my email to relevant volunteers.

Preserve filter selections on calendar
Every time volunteers visit the event calendar, they need to select what categories they want to filter by. It would be convenient if category selection could be preserved for each user based on their most recent selection. For example, if I filter for Location A events, the next time I check the calendar Location A is already preselected.

Ability to exclude blanks in filtered reports
Some of the new report templates categorize hours as "blank" when they don't match the criteria of the selected report. It would be helpful if we could unselect this since it's not necessary for us.

Create name "token" for personalized emails
It would be useful if you could add a token for "volunteer name" to the email templates so users could receive a personalized message from the system.

Include write in option for "Other" with fields
Allow volunteers to write in more detail if they select "Other" from a checkbox/dropdown list.

Customize schedule for event reminders
For automated notifications, it would be useful to customize when event reminders are sent to volunteers. We require 72 hours notice for cancellations so we would like to email them 4 days prior to the event instead of 2 days

Allow field approvers to log hours for their users
Ability to designate Field Approvers, but with the additional capability of logging hours for their volunteers without giving full access to the volunteer list

Double verification for organizer emails
I appreciate that the info now is emailed to the supervisor for approval and it's my understanding that if they agree with the information they have received they can just do nothing and it's considered approved. I just wish there were some way to know for sure that they had received the email and indeed have approved it. Like if they could do something simple like click a link in the email and it would register as approved. I'm pretty sure that they can leave a little comment if desired, too, right?
