Adding volunteer hours

To add hours when a volunteer completes a task:

1. Click the Add Volunteer Hours button.
   
2. From the resulting entry form, select a volunteer's name from the pull-down list (the name is required).
3. Add a date (required) by either clicking the calendar icon (on the left) and scroll through to the date, or click the "Today's date" icon.
   

4. Add the task (required) by typing in the name of the task.  Make sure you match the exact name, capitalization, and punctuation.

   Recommendation

   We recommend that you use the same name for similar tasks, such as "Kennel maintenance" instead of using a variety of names for the same or similar task. You'll find it easier to sort them.

   We also recommend that you keep a list of tasks easily accessible to all volunteers who add hours so that they can copy and paste the name of the task.

5. Add the number of hours (required) and save.  You can check the Add Another box as well to save and go on to a new entry.
