The normal process is for volunteers ‘sign up’ to an opportunity themselves, but it is quite common for administrators to manually signup volunteers when they have agreed it over the phone or via email.
As the administrator you can add volunteers to a session yourself by doing the following:
1. Go to the OPPORTUNITIES & PROVIDERS > VIEW OPPORTUNITIES screen.
2. Click on the ‘Opportunity Session Information’ button.
3. At the bottom of the screen is a list of the sessions for the event, click on the ADD VOLUNTEER next to the appropriate session, and start tying their name. As you type a list of matching volunteers will appear, just click on the volunteer you want to add and they will be joined to the session. They will also recieve an email if it is the first session they have done on this opportunity.
Note: Providers can also add their linked volunteers to one of their sessions.
