Tip of the Week: Volunteers

Did you know that you can now make a copy of a Volunteers sign up list for future events?

You asked for it, and we delivered! Within the Volunteers 3.0 module, you now have the ability to duplicate a Signup list rather than creating it from scratch again.

All the information within the list except the assigned volunteers are copied to your new list - which means, your defined groups, tasks, dates, time slots and settings are all carried over! You then have the ability to edit the Signup list details from the edit screen to name your new list, define the start and end dates, link a Signup List Chair, etc. To duplicate, simply click on 'Copy' link under the Actions column on the Signup Lists page. Your new list will then appear on the main Signup Lists page.

There are still lots of updates coming your way! Please continue to send us your suggestions and feedback by emailing us at feedback@clubrunner.ca.

Week 37: Tip of the Week

#37: Did you know that you can use the EventPlanner to get members to volunteer for your new committee structure?

Use the Volunteer Tasks sub-module within EventPlanner to create each committee as a Task, and each subcommittee as a subtask. You can also specifiy how many members are needed per committee. When you’re done putting together your structure, you can issue a Volunteer request to all your members so that they can see the club’s committee structure and who else has joined each committee. Then, they can volunteer online and sign up to join a committee.
