How do I add my opportunities?
At the moment you’ll need to use our Excel template to upload your volunteering opportunities, other methods are in development. To access the spreadsheet you'll need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Log in to GoVo
Once you’re logged in, you’ll need to access your charity dashboard. You may need to click on your charity name in the top left hand banner, or you can click on the three lines in the top right hand corner to access the menu and select 'dashboard'. You'll then land on your dashboard - this is where you’ll manage your account and your roles.
If this is your first time logging in to your account you may need to set your charity profile up, you can follow our Getting started advice to do this.
Step 2: Find the template download button
On the dashboard page where it says Excel Template look for the button labelled “Download Excel Template.” It’s in the Charity overview section of the dashboard.
Step 3: Download and open the file
Click the button to download a blank spreadsheet. This has all the right column headings so the system can read your data correctly.
Step 4: Fill out your opportunities
It's important to check which columns need to be filled out depending on the options you select, you can read the guidance How do I fill out the opportunity template? and there is also inbuilt guidance on the spreadsheet for each column as necessary which you can see by clicking into a cell.
When you have finished, save file to your computer ready for upload.
Having trouble?
- Can’t see the button? Make sure you’re logged in as a charity.
- File won’t open? Check that Excel is installed.
- Need the file again? You can download a fresh copy at any time from the dashboard.
Step 5: Upload your opportunities
Click on the "Upload" button and then follow the onscreen guide live in the platform for uploading your opportunities. For help with uploading your opportunities, you can watch a video demonstration below.
