UnionCloud will ask mandatory questions on your behalf when an organisation first registers with you, name of organisation, address, etc. Within the Organisation/Project Registration setup area you can ask your own specific questions that you would like to ask all organisations when they first register with you. You have the option through the 'action' box to make a question 'required' so you can make it mandatory for that organisation to provide an answer to your question and/or you can select the option for a 'file upload' on a question if you wanted an organisation to provide you with a certain document, for example a recent health and safety policy. This area is aimed to help you gain the most information you can from voluntary organisations at the point of registration.

Like other areas of the site you can also configure the way in which people can provide responses to your questions through the 'display as' box where you can select 'single select dropdown', 'multi select dropdown', 'text box' and 'check box'.

Organisation/Project Registration

UnionCloud will ask mandatory questions on your behalf when an organisation first registers with you, name of organisation, address, etc. Within the Organisation/Project Registration setup area you can ask your own specific questions that you would like to ask all organisations when they first register with you. You have the option through the 'action' box to make a question 'required' so you can make it mandatory for that organisation to provide an answer to your question and/or you can select the option for a 'file upload' on a question if you wanted an organisation to provide you with a certain document, for example a recent health and safety policy. This area is aimed to help you gain the most information you can from voluntary organisations at the point of registration.

Like other areas of the site you can also configure the way in which people can provide responses to your questions through the 'display as' box where you can select 'single select dropdown', 'multi select dropdown', 'text box' and 'check box'.

Profile Setup

There is a two staged process to a student joining your Union as a volunteer, the registration process which is the page just covered above, then they have the option to continue and complete their 'volunteering profile'. Students can stop and save their information at the point of registration and can come back to complete their profile at a later point in time of they wanted to. BUT students will NOT be able to apply for a volunteering opportunity until they have completed their profile. (On the volunteering dashboard you can see the number of students that may have not completed their profile and you can contact these people through a dynamic filter in usergroups should you wish too).

In the profile sections students are asked a series of questions, from 'areas of interest' to 'skills they'd like to gain'. Here in this setup section you have the ability to change some of the alias names (underlined in blue into different options that might be more appropriate for your Union. You can do this by selecting the edit icon presented next to each word.
