Exporting other data from VIRA

Created by Robert Solomon, Modified on Wed, 20 Mar at 3:32 PM by Felicity Smith

In addition to volunteer records, other data can also be exported from VIRA. 

 

Not all of this can be imported into INVOLVE, but you can use this process to easily keep a backup of it.

 

To extract volunteer hours:

  • Log in to VIRA / Select VIRA tab
  • Click Reports
  • Select Hours Summary
  • Set Output Format to Excel/CSV
  • Set Date From to 01/01/2010 (or similar)
  • Set Date To to 01/01/2030 (or similar)
  • Click Submit


This will give you a CSV (Excel) file with all the volunteering/hours records.
Note that this one might take a while to run!

 

Volunteer hours can be imported in the Timesheets tab in INVOLVE.

 

To extract certificates:

  • Log in to VIRA / Select VIRA tab
  • Click Reports
  • Select Expiring Certificates Report
  • Set Output Format to Excel/CSV
  • Set Date To to 01/01/2030 (or similar)
  • Click Submit

 

This will give you a CSV (Excel) file with all the certificates.

 

To extract volunteer hours:

  • Log in to VIRA / Select VIRA tab
  • Click Reports
  • Select Hours Summary
  • Set Output Format to Excel/CSV
  • Set Date From to 01/01/2010 (or similar)
  • Set Date To to 01/01/2030 (or similar)
  • Click Submit

 

This will give you a CSV (Excel) file with all the volunteering/hours records.

Note that this one might take a while to run!

 

Recognition and Reimbursement can be extracted much like hours, but using the appropriate report.

This will let you extract most volunteer data from VIRA in just a few minutes.

 

To extract statistical info (if present):

  • Log in to VIRA / Select VIRA tab
  • Click Reports 
  • Select Volunteer Statistics
  • Set Output Format to Excel/CSV
  • Click Submit

 

This will give you a CSV (Excel) file with all the volunteer stats (if entered).

 

The following things cannot be exported in this manner:

  • Training
  • Tags

 

You can, however, extract this information using Search Volunteers.

To do this:

  • Go to Search Volunteers
  • Select the training type (or tag) you want to export
  • Click Filter
  • Click Export to CSV

 

This will give you a CSV of everyone with the selected tag or training type.

 

The history tab cannot be  exported. This affects the following things:

  • Volunteer Files / CV
  • Volunteer Notes

 

These have to be extracted manually (or by the developer).
