When viewing campaigns in the Class Agent tool, you have a number of options. You can view either by a Manager view, the Campaign view, and
Activating Class Agents
To access the Simulate function, click on the smaller Activate button in the table, next to the Class Agent you wish to simulate, and choose Simulate from the drop down. See the two images below for more details. (And See step "g" for how to Simulate a volunteer.)
When you activate your Class Agents (Volunteers), what happens? An activation notice will be emailed to them with instructions on how to Login to their volunteer account for the Class Agent volunteer application – available via Web browser at classagent.com or via our mobile app in the Apple and Android app stores.
Remember: The volunteer Class Agents use a different application, designed specifically for volunteers, to manage their assignments and activity reports. You and other staff will use the Class Agent layer of the Platform to see reports of how the volunteers are doing and to track your campaign results.
Activation Email Sample:
Simulating Volunteers
If you want to Simulate instead of actually Activating a volunteer, go back to Agents screen and click the agent Status button and choose Simulate from the drop down as shown to the right.
After you click Simulate, you will be presented with the volunteer application in a simulated environment as if you were that volunteer user. This is a convenient way to help troubleshoot any issues or resolve questions for your volunteers.
See the iHelp section on the Class Agent Portal for more information about using the the application as a volunteer.
- As you will see when we look at the volunteer experience, volunteers can receive Notifications from you and your staff, such as campaign updates, training materials, instructions for alumni follow-up, etc.
Let's practice sending a Notification to your volunteers. From the same Agents screen (shown again below), click the green button on the left, New Notification.
Choose which Class Years you want to notify, and select if you want In-App notification, Email notification, or both (turn them both on). Give the notification a Title, fill in your Message, and Submit. Easy! (All volunteer Class Agents in the campaign who belong to the selected Class Years will receive the notification.)
See how your volunteers are doing!
Staff can easily see how volunteer Class Agents are doing by viewing the Campaign Activity and Results from the Class Agent layer in the Reeher Platform.
- Return to the Campaign dashboard as shown below.
Click on Activity and Results buttons to see reports on how many activities have been completed by your volunteers and how much your campaign has raised.
- Clicking on the Activity tab will allow you to view how your agent's solicitations are going, how frequently they log in and the number of non-contacted participants.
- The results tab will tell the manager how their class years are performing based on dollars, donors and participation rate.
