We excited to announce that we have recently upgraded the Volunteer Reporter to version 5.6. It includes many new features including donation tracking, file folder labels, name badge labels, awards, and availabilities. It also enables station supervisors to enter hours for a batch of volunteers at one time via the Web Assistant.

The Corporation for National and Community Service recently changed the age groupings required when reporting via eGrants. We have incorporated those changes into version 5.5p of the Volunteer Reporter. These changes only affect Senior Corps Programs: RSVP, FGP, and SCP.

The Volunteer Reporter from version 5.5k is fully compatible with Windows Vista.

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.
