It does allow for automatic recording of hours - but only if you have assignment mode (located under Setup - School) set to "Self" or "Self with approval".
A more detailed user guide will be available soon, but feel free to call us on Monday and we can explain the nuances.
It is live and I know a bunch of folks are up and running! Not sure why it did not work for you, but we are glad to help - give us a call at 800-557-2670
Tried to follow your steps but some of my screens did not have the items on it to complete the process. There was no "new room" or "settup sign in" is it not live yet?
You can now use PTO Manager to track who is in your school and capture those hours as volunteer hours! Goodbye paper logs!! A full user guide will be available soon, but here is a quick overview of how to set-up the sign in program
1. Turn off all Pop up blockers on your computer.
2. Go to SETUP – SCHOOL and put a check in the box labeled “School Sign In Active.â€
3. All volunteers/visitors must select a room in order to complete the sign in process. To set up the room list, click on VOLUNTEER BUILDER – ADMINISTRATION – ROOMS – ADD NEW ROOM . Click SAVE AND NEW ROOM until all rooms are entered.
4. Click on VOLUNTEER BUILDER – VOLUNTEERS – SETUP SIGN IN.
5. Click on the SETUP button.
6. You will be prompted to let the “web page close the window†– select “Yes.â€
That is it – the sign in screen is loaded and ready to go! It will stay up all day and won’t “time outâ€. When you are done for the day, simply close the browser.
