Volunteering and Slot categories must be configured before you set up a volunteering opportunity.
There are two different types of categories to be defined:
- Volunteering Categories: these are the different types of events or opportunities that may require volunteering.
Car wash, community clean up, bake sale
- Slot Categories: these are the types of volunteer services you may require.
Cashier, car washer, traffic director, baker, etc
Navigate to the Control Panel > People Tab > Website Modules > Volunteering.
Click Configure – Volunteering Categories.
You'll see a standard category administration screen. Click Add Category to add a category.
A running club might have “Race Support” as one category and “Office Time” as a separate category.
Click Return to Previous Page to return to the Volunteering Administration screen.
Click Configure – Slot Categories.
This list allows you to organize volunteering slots into categories. Click Add Slot Category.
These slot categories can then be used repeatedly for each slot. For example, the running club “Race Support” opportunity might define the following slot categories:
- Registration desk
- Start line
- Water stations
- Finish line
- Awards
You can only delete a category if it hasn't been used to define a volunteering opportunity.
