Filtering the Volunteering Report
You can apply the following filters to the Volunteering Report:
- Group type: choose between time (month, quarter or year), volunteering characteristics (cause category, cause name, volunteer opportunity) or any field provided in your demographic data to group your data.
- Start date (UTC): The start date for the reporting period. Approved volunteer hours are recorded based on the submitted date.
- End date (UTC): The end date for the reporting period.
Select Apply to confirm filters and update the data. Select Reset filters to clear the filter inputs.
When the data loads, hover over a graph data point to learn more about the values.
Example
Group your data by Month to see when the most volunteering hours are tracked over the course of the year. Enter those dates into the Date filters and update the Group type to Department (or a user field that matches your program) to see which teams are the most engaged during that time. You can export data and share it with senior leadership, or use it to inform marketing or internal campaigns to increase participation.
