Alternative: Teachers/Coordinators can share a direct link to an hour log with an Organization/Employer or Parent/Guardian Teachers can share a direct link with an Organization/Employer (or with Parents/Guardians specifically as it relates to volunteer hours) to verify hours. Simply click on the "Copy hour verification link" and paste that link into any message. That will take an employer directly to an hour summary web page where they can verify hours. This is a helpful alternative when employers have not received an hour submission via email. Or, when you need someone else to verify an hour log (e.g. supervisor who is covering off for a colleague).
Both teachers and students can add organizations/employers:
When an organization/employer is added to the database by a teacher and status is set to Active, a student can locate this organization when they add hours. In the Hour section, students type the organization’s name into the Organization search bar and it will pop up.
Students can search Active employers only (see image below).
When a teacher adds an organization, the organization’s status is automatically set to Active.
When a student adds an organization, the organization’s status is automatically set to Pending.
Students are not able to search organizations that are set to Pending unless they were the one that added it (i.e. they only see organizations that they added).
NOTE: For more details on how to add organizations/employers, click here
Teachers may want to convert a Pending employer that a student added to an Active employer that other students can search and locate too.
1. Click the 
tab
2. Set the Status filter to Pending to quickly locate all the Pending organizations
3. Search and click on the desired organization
4. Under the General tab, scroll down until you find the Status field and click on the drop down menu to set the status from Pending to Active
5. Select Save in the top right corner of the page to save your changes
You may want students to only search and locate Active employers that a teacher has added. If so, here is how you can do that:
1. Click on the tab with your school’s name
2. Along the centre of the screen there should be a number of tabs such as General, Logo, Access.. etc. At the bottom of that list there is a Settings tab. Click on Settings
3. Check off the box that reads Do not allow students to add employers/contacts/positions for Hours
TIP
If students are unable to locate an employer then please make sure that the student is only typing a few letters of the organization’s name. It is better to type in a few letters than the entire name of an employer just in case it is spelled differently.
If you type in “Tim”, then anything with “Tim” will come up. If you type in “Hor”, then all of the Tim Hortons stores will come up. But if you type in “Horton’s” into the search bar, our system will not recognize the apostrophe if the employer is not spelled that way (Horton vs Horton’s).
For work placements, this is the position of the student at placement (e.g. Automotive Assistant).
For community service, these positions represent volunteer opportunities (e.g. Food Bank Sorter).
1. Click 
on the left toolbar
2. Search and select the desired organization, then click on the Positions
icon
3. Select an existing position (e.g. Food Bank Clerk)
At the bottom of the General tab for a position, you will see the Published and Public fields.
NOTE: If you’re looking to create a new position/opportunity, then please reference our FAQ here.
By default, all positions are private (i.e. only visible to a teacher/coordinator) since neither the Published nor Public boxes are checked.
When both the Published and Public boxes are unchecked, the position/opportunity cannot be viewed by students under any circumstance. This is essentially a draft version of the position/opportunity and can only be accessed by teachers/coordinators.
NOTE: Publication Dates (i.e. when a position/opportunity is visible) do not work unless either the Published or Public boxes are checked (see below).
When only the Published box is checked, only students from your school are able to view the position/opportunity on their Opportunities page. This is ideal if the position/opportunity is exclusive to your school.
If the Publication Date (i.e. when a position is visible) is expired or has yet to be published, this position/opportunity will no longer be available to the students at your school and will not show up on students’ Opportunities page.
When only the Public box is checked, the position/opportunity is viewable to anybody with a link to it. However, it is otherwise inaccessible to anybody except teachers/coordinators and will not show up on students’ Opportunities page. The link can be found under the position/opportunity’s title in the Preview and on the page advertising it.
NOTE: Publication Dates (i.e. when a position is visible) do not apply or work for this type of position/opportunity.
When both the Published and Public boxes are checked, the position/opportunity is accessible to everybody. The position/opportunity will show up on students’ Opportunities page. It will also have a shareable link that you can send to students inside and outside of the school.
NOTE: If the Publication Date (i.e. when a position is visible) is expired or has yet to be published, this position/opportunity will no longer be available to anybody without the web link. This means that it will not show up on students’ Opportunities page anymore.
1. Public events can be shared on social media through Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter:
2. If you leave the Publication Date blank, the position/opportunity will be advertised indefinitely.
