Overview
User Activities empowers users to take control of their time management by enabling them to report hours for various tasks that may not fall within their regular shift schedule.
Whether it's volunteering for special projects, participating in community events, or completing additional responsibilities, users can conveniently log these hours directly from within the Volunteer Portal.
This flexibility not only enhances the candidate experience but also ensures that all contributions are accurately recorded, promoting transparency and recognition for their efforts.
Note: All approved User Activity hours will be added to the users total hours and contribute towards reward and recognition allocations, if applicable.
To enable users to log User Activities, you will need to complete a few steps within the admin console, check out the User Activities - Overview article for more information.
