I'm not Dave Shaw, and I've never played him on TV, but I think I can tackle this one. Yes, ebase version 2 already has the flexibility built-in to handle tracking the activity of volunteers. You can set up "item codes" for each activity area you would like later to report on. If you are interested in continuing to use ebase version 1.x (i.e. You have invested countless hours in learning how to use it or have customized it extensively), then Linda's suggestion is a good one to follow up on. It makes sense as she describes it. Others may have similar methods. Otherwise, I'd take a closer look at transitioning to ebase version 2. Its flexibility to track actions is virtually unlimited and can be set up to be very specific to your organization. There certainly are issues and concerns about the process of transitioning to ebase version 2 that I don't want to gloss over, but I think it could be a valuable move if you wish to expand upon what you are currently tracking in version 1. One thing to keep in mind is that ebase version 2 is the official upgrade to version 1. There will not be any further upgrades or revisions to the structure of version 1. -- Barry Madore Technology & Web Development Specialist MAP for Nonprofits Direct: 651/632-7235 MAP: 651/647-1216 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MAP web: http://www.mapnp.org ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
