      How do admins register or reserve spots for volunteers?

      Admins can assign spots to volunteers for any event, including reserved spots for groups. You can assign these to volunteers with or without a POINT account, using just their name and email.

      Note: This is ideal for assigning spots to older volunteers who aren’t tech-savvy or for last-minute volunteers who show up to an event. It’s also useful for reserving spots in group signups.

       

      How to register a volunteer to an event (see video below):

      1. Access the admin dashboard of your organization's page and click on "Opportunities" in the left-side menu. Then, select "Manage Events" from the dropdown menu.
      2. You will be taken to the Events List page. Choose the event you want to assign a volunteer to.
      3. On the Event Details page, go to the "Volunteer List" tab below the event's cover photo. This will show you the volunteer roster for the event.
      4. Click on the orange "Actions" button on the right side and select "Assign Spots" from the dropdown menu.
      5. Search for the volunteer's name or email and their account will show up.
      6. Click on the "+" button next to their name and then hit the "Assign Spot" button located at the bottom of the box. If it's an ongoing event you can select any additional dates and shifts you'd like to assign the volunteer to.

      Note: If the contact record for the volunteer is unclaimed and has an email attached they will still receive confirmations and reminders about the event.
