About this feature: Volunteers will be able to read the General Interest descriptions when they are considering applying to your organization, so it’s a good idea to word them like job advertisements.
- Go to: Configuration, then click on “General Interests” found in the sidebar under Recruitment.
- Click the [+] button in the “General Interests” header bar or click the [+ New General Interest] button at the bottom of the page.
- Enter a General Interest name (maximum 100 characters)
- Select whether or not the General Interest is Active (i.e. will be visible to volunteers and seen on the organization’s public search page)
- Select the applicable Application Form. If prospective applicants are looking at your list of active General Interests via a signup link, they can be directed to fill in a specific application form (1, 2 or 3). If you are just getting started, you may want to leave this as Default for now.
- Select your Visibility options:
- MyImpactPage: The volunteer’s profile page, enabling volunteers to check what their interests are after they have filled in the application form
- Public Page: visible to potential applicants to give them an idea of the type of opportunities you offer
- Application Forms: The application forms on which this General Interest will appear.
- Optional: Enter a Description (visible to volunteers)
- Optional: Select the Schedule Classifications associated with the General Interest (Additional Classifications may be available on Enterprise accounts)
- Click the [Save] button
