Managing Your Volunteer Hours

ActionGrid automatically tracks your volunteer hours based on shift check-ins. Here\'s how to view, edit, and export your hour records.

Automatic Tracking

When you check in to a shift and check out (or end the shift), your hours are calculated and logged automatically. You don\'t need to do anything extra. The system records:

• Date and time of the shift

• Duration (check-in to check-out)

• Event name and campaign

• Type of activity (canvass, phone bank, etc.)

Viewing Your Hours

Go to your profile and tap My Hours to see:

• Total hours — lifetime volunteer time

• This month — hours for the current month

• By campaign — hours broken down by each campaign

• By activity — hours by type (canvass, phone, text, etc.)

• Hour log — a chronological list of every shift with date, time, and duration

The My Hours page shows your total hours and breakdowns by campaign and activity

Adding Manual Entries

Sometimes hours don\'t get tracked automatically — maybe you forgot to check in, or you did volunteer work outside of ActionGrid. To add hours manually:

• Go to My Hours

• Tap Add Hours

• Enter the date, duration, activity type, and a brief description

• Tap Submit

Manual entries are flagged for organizer review. Once approved, they\'re added to your total.

Corrections

If an automatic entry looks wrong (maybe you forgot to check out and it recorded 8 hours instead of 3), tap on the entry and select Request Correction. An organizer will review and fix it.

The hour log shows every shift with date, time, duration, and activity type

Exporting Your Hours

Need a record for school, work, or community service credits? You can export your hours:

• Go to My Hours

• Tap Export

• Choose the date range and format (PDF or CSV)

• The report includes dates, hours, activities, and campaigns

Export your hours as PDF or CSV for school, work, or personal records

Pro Tip

Export your hours at the end of each month to keep clean records. Some schools and employers accept ActionGrid hour exports as official volunteer documentation.
