Must know
- Admin: Members → Volunteers, with Shifts, Roles, Listing (CCM’s Volunteer Listing), Hours and Certifications tabs. Classic view: the Volunteer Roles and Volunteers sections of the admin bar. Joomla bookmarks land on the matching tab.
- CCM’s three role types are kept: an interest a member ticks (on the Volunteer page, linked from the signup receipt), a sign-up sheet for specific slots, and game duties placed on the draw.
- New since CCM: a Minimum hours per season that can be enforced at membership renewal, and shift reminders.
Volunteer Roles
A role has a name, a description, a published flag and a Type: Member Volunteer Options (an interest switch on the club site’s Volunteer page, which the signup receipt links to), Signup for Specific Roles (a slot sheet with sub-roles) or Game Schedule Volunteer Options (duties assigned per team on a game, printed in the draw). Sub-roles carry CCM’s fields — what, a free-text when, how many are needed and credit hours. Both views set the Type and an Order for roles and sub-roles, take a formatted description (an imported CCM description keeps its formatting, and members see it formatted), and have CCM’s Save as Copy. Role names are unique in Uplifter, so a copy is named “{name} (copy)”. Shifts come in two shapes on the Shifts tab: Specific date/time and Recurring / described (CCM’s free-text “when”).Volunteers
The Volunteers listing (the new view’s Listing tab, with the same columns in the same order in both views) filters interests and sign-ups by role with name, home, work and cell phone from the member’s profile, email, role, when and comment. CCM’s New is there in both views, so staff can add any member to a role or to one of its sub-roles, and Extract to Excel (Export to Excel in the new view) downloads what is on screen. The hours log has an approval queue and totals per member. A member logs hours on the club site’s My Time Tracking page (/account/time), picking the event and, as in CCM, the Task each entry belongs to, and can delete an entry while it is still pending. Both member pages are new look only.
