In version 6.2 we concentrated on making the Reporter even more efficient and easy to use. We listened to your suggestions in order to enable bulk replacements for all volunteers at once, make the hours grid more useful by putting the newest hours on top, added new placement and service activity reports, enabled limiting the Profile reports to just certain fields, and added new job lists.

For your volunteers signing in on a touch-screen monitor, they can now swipe their ID badge instead of entering a PIN. You can survey your volunteers as they sign in with simple questions and responses and also have them automatically signed out every night if they forget to sign out.

We added a lot more new features than just these. Read about all of them here or from the Help menu after installing version 6.2.

Our Canadian customers can now pay in either US or Canadian dollars at the same price, when paying by check. We now accept payment in Canadian dollars equal with US dollars. Learn more about paying with Canadian and other currencies on our Prices page.

The Volunteer Reporter recently received a nice review from the Volunteer Management Report in the February 2009 issue. They interview a RSVP program coordinator in Minnesota who uses and likes the Reporter. She calls it "an invaluable tool." You can read a reprint of the entire review here.

Now your volunteers can enter their hours from home. The Web Assistant collects hours, accepts new applications, and posts job opportunities via the Internet. It's an add-on module for the Volunteer Reporter that seamlessly integrates with your existing web page enabling volunteers to enter hours from home. You then accept the hours without any additional data entry. Learn more about the Web Assistant and try it out for yourself.

A new book for computer programmers has singled out the Volunteer Reporter as an example of how to design a good user interface. The dBASE Book, Developing Windows Applications with dBASE PLUS by Ken Mayer is a technical reference written to help programmers design better software. It uses our volunteer screen to illustrate how to design a data entry screen that makes it easy to find a volunteer, view their information, and add new volunteers.
