Every opportunity must be AUTHORISED before it is visible to the volunteers. This is either done manually by the administrator or if the administrator sets opportunities to be auto-authorised then the system automatically authorises every opportunity. Opportunities which are NOT authorised will be displayed in red in the OPPORTUNITIES & PROVIDERS > OPPORTUNITIES page.
Auto Authorise Opportunities
To set opportunities to be auto-authorised then you must goto SETTINGS > OPTIONS and make sure the AUTO AUTHORISE OPPORTUNITIES is set to YES.
Manually Authorise Opportunities
Most administrators prefer to check the wording of opportunities before they go live.
To authorise the opportunity follow these steps:
1. Goto OPPORTUNITIES & PROVIDERS > OPPORTUNITIES
2. Click on the AUTHORISE button next to the opportunities name
Volunteers will now be able to see and apply for the opportunity, as long as they meet the DBS and Induction requirements.
