Create a Manual Override Sterling Check
Updated over 2 months ago

About this feature: A manual override check can be used to indicate that a volunteer has a completed background check in the instance that the check was not completed through the Better Impact - Sterling Volunteers integration in your account.

The ONLY time this should be used is if your organization already has a check for this volunteer but it is not linked to Volunteer Impact. This can happen if you have an existing check before integration, or in the rare case of accidentally deleting a check here.

Manual override checks created in Better Impact will not be visible in your Sterling Account.
