Profile pictures to schedules.   With our youth volunteens this summer, I added their profile picture to their schedule and email them to the department they were scheduled to volunteer in.  Our department managers love it.  I have attached an example.

Laurie,

Can you post directions on how to do that?

[Laurie]

Yes....

 

Make sure you have their picture uploaded in Profile.   I usually take their pictures at orientation and them upload them under the profile section of Volgistics. 

 

I also make sure that I have their current schedule in Volgistics.  

 

Then to print:

 

Under Volulteer Profile: 

 

Select: 

Volunteer Name

Select a new page for each volunteer

(Next)

Instructions:  I use our Mission and Vision statement from Volunteer Services

Core Fields:   I just choose their name, type and assisgnment and Regular Schedule

(Next)

Under First Title Line:   Volunteer Profile

(Next)

I usually tag the new volunteers that I am doing this for and just print those

(Next)

I name it "Department Notification"

Save and Print

 

Once printed I save and send them to the department managers where they will be volunteering.   If I do one at a time, I can save it as a pdf on my computer and email it to the department manager.
