Volunteer Matrix has a what we refer to as a "Kiosk Mode". Simply, this is a on-volunteer-site mode that allows for non-previously signed up volunteers to be able to sign up for the date and project. Or, if they are previously registered, it can be used to clock volunteer in and out for the date so that their actual volunteer time is used.

The process for Kiosk mode on site is very simple. It does require you have internet access, and a computer with internet browser.

Staff

1. Go to your sites designated Kiosk page in the browser on the computer connected to the internet.
2. Select the desired project(s) which that computer will allow sign-ins for.
3. Switch the browser to "full screen" mode (usually by pressing F11). This will prevent any volunteers from using back buttons or trying to visit other websites.

Volunteers
Select either:

1. (button) I have previously registered here or on the website.
   • (log in form provided)
   • (button) I'm ready to begin my volunteer day, sign me in.
2. (button) I am a new volunteer
   • Full, Express, or Minimal Info Registration form displayed.
   • (button) I'm ready to begin my volunteer day, sign me in.

When a volunteer signs in via the Kiosk Mode, they are automatically signed up for the date (if they were not already), and "confirmed". If volunteers do not sign out, then they will be automatically signed out at the scheduled volunteer date end time.

When in Kiosk Mode, the system will ignore any maximum number of volunteers set on that date/project/shift. This pretty much assumes that you would not turn away a volunteer who shows up on site.

If a volunteer group is scheduled for that date/project, when volunteers are signing in, they are given the opportunity to indicate they are volunteering with their group. If their volunteer record was not previously associated with that group, they are automatically added to the group.
