SignUpGoVolunteers and check-in
Track background checks with cleared until dates
Some volunteer jobs need a background check, like chaperoning a field trip. SignUpGo can flag anyone on a signup who is not cleared through the event day. You enter each person's date once, and it counts on every signup.
Steps
- Go to Signups and open the signup.
- In the Check-in and safety card, tick This sheet needs a background check.
- Click Save.
- In the Spots table, each person now has a badge: cleared to a date, clearance ended, or no background check.
- For someone who is cleared, pick their cleared until date in the date box on their row and click Save date.
- Check the warning at the top of the page. It counts how many people are not cleared through the event day.
Good to know
- SignUpGo does not run background checks. You record the date your district or screening vendor gives you.
- The date belongs to the person, not the signup. Once saved, it shows on every signup that needs a check.
- A date that ends before the event day shows as clearance ended.
- Volunteers do not see these badges. Only your team does.
- Every date you save is kept in the audit trail.
