❖ Heads up! This article is only intended for Site Managers.
Your site offers automation settings to help streamline volunteer management. From your Site Settings, you can set hours to be auto-approved once submitted or require a manual review before approval.
How to Setup Hours Approval Settings
Go to Settings > Main Settings > Approval.
Use the dropdown beside Hours Approval to make your selection.
Volunteers must submit hours for approval: This setting requires volunteers to submit their hours for approval—they aren't automatically approved.
We don't recommend using this setting as it requires volunteers to manually enter and verify their hours—which is sometimes a missed step leaving them with missing or inaccurate hours.
Hours logged will be automatically submitted for approval: Select this option if you want to review submitted hours for approval.
Hours logged will be automatically approved: Select this option if you want hours to be automatically approved without your review first.
Click Update Settings to save your changes.
