The Source column in the Volunteer Hours Logged report tells you how the hours were logged and who logged them. 

To get to this report: 

1. Go to Reports from your top menu bar. 

2. Select Opportunities > Volunteer Hours Logged

3. Review the Source column in the Volunteer Hours Report table. 

  • If Volunteer Check-in was used, "Added at" indicates check-in data, while "Updated at" indicates check-out data. 
    • If check-in wasn't used, "Added at" indicates how the volunteer logged their hours and "Updated at" can refer to when an agency manger approved the hours. 
  • Also displayed is the tool used to check in or out and the account from which the check-in or check-out occurred.

Here are examples of the types of entries you may see, and what they typically mean:
