Volunteer Opportunity Statuses
Volunteer Opportunity Statuses determine how volunteers view an Opportunity and how data resulting from the Opportunity (responses and hours submitted to the Opportunity) is tracked and stored.
Status Descriptions
Status | When to use | Impact |
Active | The opportunity is ready to receive responses and hours from volunteers. | Volunteers who can access this opportunity can respond and submit hours. All responses and hours data are saved in volunteers' profiles and site reports. |
Pending | The opportunity is not ready for any volunteers. | The opportunity is hidden. All responses and hours data are unaffected. |
Archive | The opportunity was completed and is no longer accepting new volunteer responses. | All responses and hours data are saved in volunteers' profiles and site reports. |
Cancel | The opportunity was going to happen, but it was called off (inclement weather, unavailable volunteer coordinator, etc). | All responses (including from past shifts) are set to Canceled and can be seen in the Canceled Responses tab in the Responses page.
All hours (including from past shifts) are deactivated.
The volunteer opportunity is permanently canceled. It can be changed to the Deleted status, but it cannot be restored to Active, Pending, or Archive. |
Delete | The opportunity was created by mistake. | All responses and hours data are permanently deleted from volunteers' profiles and site reports. |
