Volunteer Upload

CSV Template

• I would recommend that the FIRST post upload is a CSV that is prepared by OCIO, to minimize error and ensure proper data.
• If you are unable to get a CSV from OCIO, or if you are adding a small group follow steps below.

VIDA

1. Login to VIDA
2. Click Volunteers
3. Select Country (steps 3-5 are necessary until HQ VIDA reporting tools are reliable)
4. Take note of “count #” in lower right hand corner
5. Click Reports
6. Select PCV Roster (spreadsheet)
7. Click Report → Excel spreadsheet will begin to download to computer
8. Open File- Check # of Volunteers, if there are fewer volunteers on spreadsheet than in the VIDA Count # you will need to figure out which Volunteers you are missing.

###Uploading a new group of Volunteers to an existing post Often times new volunteers are all represented in VIDA

1. Go back to step 3 (above)
2. Select Training Group
3. Check the Count # for a specific Training group
4. Return to the Excel spreadsheet- Format spreadsheet according to CSV template.
5. Save as .csv
