How do I make a single hour entry manually?

This help topic explains how you post an hour record manually for an individual volunteer. If you want to post hours manually for a group record, see the Posting Service for Groups section of Tracking Groups.

Please note that in addition to making hour entries manually for individuals and groups, service hours can also be recorded with a few other methods.

To post an hour record manually for an individual volunteer:

  1. Choose Volunteers from the menu.
  2. Locate the record for the volunteer for whom you want to make an hour entry.
  3. Open the selected volunteer's record and click the Service tab.

  4. Use the Add box in the Service section to enter the information for the new hour entry.

  3. Select Ground Rules.
  4. Choose the kinds of information you want to collect for each service entry under Manual volunteer service entries. Ground Rules Settings shows examples of each option.
