Volunteer Requests downloads information from the Volunteer Opportunity part on your website to The Raiser’s Edge. Volunteer transaction data downloads to the Volunteer tab on a constituent record (if you use The Raiser’s Edge Volunteer Management).
Before you process volunteer registrations, you should select options in NetCommunity Options in The Raiser’s Edge. Specifically, you can apply Transaction Assignments to volunteer registrations. Review that section before proceeding with this section.
There are two main ways to process Volunteer Requests — single and bulk. We do not recommend combining steps between these two processes. For example, do not use the Process Transaction button if you are going to download transactions using the bulk process. Read this section entirely to learn about the information available for both processes.
| • | Single — You can select each row individually to match the user with an existing Raiser’s Edge record or add the user as a new record in the database. |
| • | Bulk — You can select all users and process every transaction simultaneously. If you process all transactions, you may need to clean up data in The Raiser’s Edge after processing completes. |
