Add volunteer module to RENXT as in database view
The volunteer module is important for tracking active volunteers, volunteers who donate, and reporting on both. It is extremely important to my organization and regularly used. Without it the transition to RENXT will not offer the same robust resources that currently exist. A product that offers less is not an improved product. It is a less useful one.

We need the volunteer details information in NXT & the ability to see which accounts they are assigned to & the ability to "Go to" those account records.
We use Better Impact to track volunteer hours but we still want to know in RE who our volunteer and fosters are. It's important to be able to see this information on a constituent's record. A Volunteer module that can't pull in a role and start date into the Volunteer tile is completely useless and pointless.
We track all 87 of our county fair volunteers as well as our State Fair volunteers every year in the Volunteer Module in DBV. We NEED to have it transition to RENXT or we will lose years of data or have to create custom fields and try to refigure all the information. PLEASE transition the Volunteer Module to RENXT.
Agree! We track our volunteers on this module as well and use the information for submission to surveys and reports that we use for grant applications to foundations. Volunteerism is a very important metric on some of these surveys as well as donor participation.
Please! The current NXT version is not helpful to our gift officers, alumni team, or advancement services teams. Mirroring the functionality of database view in NXT is the only way to make this a functional tile.
We also track volunteer timesheets, jobs, availability, checklists etc. in Raiser's Edge and we need it in RENXT.
We track all our volunteer timesheets in Raiser's Edge. If this does not migrate to webview, we will need to look at other solutions. In addition, we do not currently use the volunteer type or job assignments - it would be ideal if admins could designate which information is displayed in the Volunteer tile.
Agreed. Many of our fundraisers do not use NXT as they can only make volunteer updates in database view - if they have to use database view for these tasks, they stay in database view for all others (to understandably avoid switching views)
