Quick Search (to Edit a Profile)

The quickest way to find and edit a non-archived profile, is to start typing a few characters of the person’s name (first name, last name) into the “Quick Search” field at the top right of the screen, just below the menu bar. The first 10 results will appear. You may need to type a few characters in order to narrow down your search. The Quick search results will also include the volunteer’s middle initial. For organizations that may have volunteers with the same first and last names, this will help to differentiate between the volunteers listed in the Quick Search results.

You can also search by entering the volunteer’s “DatabaseUserId” value (visible when viewing a profile or in a Personal Profile Export).
