Include Archived Volunteers in Excel Spreadsheet Reports
Use Excel Spreadsheet reports to create spreadsheet files that contain some or all of your volunteer information. You receive spreadsheet files on the In Box tab of your Volgistics Mailbox, the same way you do other reports. You can open Excel spreadsheet files in Microsoft Excel (using Excel 97 or later), or any other programs that support the current XLSX file format.
With Excel spreadsheet files you can
- Modify, format, or add information and then print from Excel or other programs that use the XLSX file format
- Include information from your spreadsheet in other word processing or Microsoft Office documents
- Save copies of your volunteer information on your own computer should you not have access to the Data export option in Setup.
- Transfer volunteer information to other kinds of programs
When you create new Excel spreadsheet reports, you choose the fields and the volunteers you want the spreadsheet to include. As with other reports, you can save your custom spreadsheet reports for use again later.
In addition to the ability to customize your own spreadsheet files, Volgistics provides the following stock spreadsheet outputs.
All volunteer information (stock)¶
Names and addresses (stock)¶
Names and email addresses (stock)¶
Names and pending awards (stock)¶
Names, addresses and phone numbers (stock)¶

Tip!
