Help topic:  Tags

Tags provide an easy way for you to temporarily mark selected volunteer records. Tags save you time by letting you perform certain tasks for all of the tagged volunteers at once. After you tag one or more volunteers you can:

  • View just the tagged volunteers


  • Post hours for the tagged volunteers


  • Send email to all of the tagged volunteers


  • Print reports that include just the tagged volunteers


  • Insert a Date record for all of the tagged volunteers


  • Change the Status for all of the tagged volunteers


  • Archive all of the tagged volunteers


  • Add or insert a Type or Flag into all of the tagged records



You can determine if a particular volunteer is ‘tagged’ or not by looking at the ‘Tagged’ checkbox in the volunteer’s record. If the “Tagged" checkbox is checked, the record is tagged. If it is not checked, the record is not tagged. You can see the “Tagged" checkbox on the list of volunteers, as well as inside individual volunteer records.

On the volunteer list, the “Tagged" checkbox looks like this:



Inside a volunteer’s record the ‘Tagged’ checkbox looks like this:




When you first login to Volgistics, none of your volunteer records are tagged.

You can tag a volunteer simply by checking the ‘Tagged’ checkbox in their record (there are other ways to tag volunteer records, too).

You can tag as many volunteers as you want to.

Once you tag a volunteer’s record, it stays tagged until you un-tag it, or exit from Volgistics (see How to permanently mark tagged records). You can un-tag all of the tagged records in a single step.

To clear all of your tags:

1. From the menu, choose ‘Tags.’

2. Click the Clear all tags button.


Tags apply only to your Volgistics sessions. If you and someone else from your organization use Volgistics at the same time, your tags will not affect the other operator’s, and their tags will not affect you. In other words, the records that you tag will only appear tagged at your computer.
