There is no Registration Closed Date option for ongoing, custom or recurring shifts. My agency has a recurring shift, but I need to know at least a week in advance if someone has signed up so that I can find another volunteer if the need is unfilled. I cannot effectively communicate with new volunteers if they sign up on the day of a shift. Communicating with volunteers prior to when they are supposed to volunteer is essential in managing volunteers effectively and ensuring they have the best volunteer experience possible, while also making the best use of my time and my organization's resources.

As it is now, in order to create a need with a Registration Closed Date I will have to create multiple Happens On Needs for the same task that happens at the same time on the same day each week. 

If you think this feature would be helpful for your agency, please 'like' this post so that it gets upvoted for the development team to actually consider.

Thank you.

Emily,

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry to see that you are still struggling with the same issue 2+ years later. I am new to Galaxy Digital but noticed immediately that I was unable to add a registration cutoff time. At first I thought I just needed to learn the system but unfortunately that is not the case.

Great. Thanks so much!

Hi Maia!

I was thinking more at the opportunity level - something similar to how site managers and program managers can mark multiple opportunities public/private or active/inactive.

Our current workaround is to shift all opportunities from public to private so the "closed" opportunities are no longer visible to volunteers.

I would say that it would be best if a date could be specified to allow for each agency to determine what works best for them. 

Unless we'd have to manually add a date for each recurring shift, because that would be a lot of work so in that instance I would say being able to choose X days prior would be best. I'm available to chat over the phone if that would be easier to talk out how this process might best work.

Thank you,

Emily

Hi - Thanks for asking...we would rather have option to specify a date that the registration is closed for each shift.  A bigger issue is the ability of volunteers to check-in and out multiple times for the same "Recurring" and "Custom" shifts.  Makes sense that they can do it for "On-going" shifts but not for other types...it causes all sorts of issues for our organization.  Anything you can do about limited the ability to check in and out multiple times for these shifts?

Thanks, Terri
