❖ Heads up! This article is intended for Program Managers—a role available only on Amplify sites. You may also see this role referred to as Advanced Program Manager; both terms refer to the same user type.

By the end of this article, you will be able to:

  • Check volunteers in from the Hours area

  • Check volunteers in using the Get Connected mobile app

  • Check volunteers out using the shift end time or a custom time

Check Volunteers In from the Hours Area

If you are not using the Check-In Kiosk, you can check volunteers in on their behalf—individually or in bulk.

  6. Click Check In Users to finish.

The volunteer’s status in the Checked In column updates from No to Yes, and they will appear in the Checked In Now tab.
