I am not sure if this is the correct discussion to pose this question, but I am looking to create a volunteer application form that drops data directly into Tessitura, similar to ticketing, but with different required questions and fields. Currently, people interested in volunteering have to fill out a PDF form and I manually input the information into Tessitura.
Along with this, I would like to have a volunteer portal that volunteers can access using their same login information. I've searched the forums about this and found information from 2010 that was semi-helpful and all about Resource Scheduling, which is not really what I am looking for. I look forward to hearing from other organizations that have implemented not only a volunteer application, but a volunteer portal as well.
Thank you,

Hi Ellen! Miss you!
You could use custom forms for the volunteer application, and have it stored in Tessitura as a CSI. I could help you with that.
What kind of info and/or capabilities would you want to have for your volunteer portal?
Hi Jordan! Miss you too!
Ok, interesting, so I would still have to transfer information from CSIs to the person's account in Tess. For example, we ask for birthdays, so that will populate in the CSI, but I will still have to enter that information in the Attributes tab, which is where we track birthdays. There is no way for the information from the form to be entered into the correct area in Tess automatically?
As for the volunteer portal, below is my wish list:
- Volunteers can access it using their same TNEW login
- Volunteers can see what volunteer events they've attended and how many volunteer hours they worked
- Volunteers can see available slots for upcoming events
There is more (ex. how many ticket vouchers/promo codes earned, how many vouchers/promo codes used), but baby steps.
Hi Jordan, feel free to reply back to my post using my work email. Thanks!
