Hello,

I think it would be great if a Volunteer could enter their own hours into the system via a webpage interface. We have around 150 volunteers and have tried all kinds of things to get their hours into the system. When we first started this program years ago, it fell on the shoulders of one person to input the hours for all the volunteers.

We then switched to a system where the volunteer could enter their own hours via a computer onsite. That ended up not working very well because the volunteers are scattered throughout a very large building and having them make their way to this one computer terminal was not very popular.

We then switched to a timeclock and at the end of every month I import those hours into Salesforce. But after 6 years of service that is starting to fail (salt water from our volunteer divers has caused the finger scanner to degrade).

I was thinking it would be terrific for a volunteer to log into a Visualforce page and input their hours for a particular day they worked. Hope this idea makes sense.
