Fill in the requested information. Event Description doesn’t have to be long. Example: Meeting-“Spencer Perkins”, etc. Fill in the date by clicking the calendar or enter as DD/MM/YYYY. Click the “down arrow” to see a list of current projects/events. Miles Driven is optional. If you attend a meeting that last 2 hours and the speaker talks for 45 minutes, you should input “Volunteer Hours” as 1.25 (2.0 - .75 = 1.25). For Continuing Education, you would use .75 for the 45 minutes. It’s easiest to round to the nearest quarter hour (.25, .5, or .75). DON’T FORGET TO HIT THE SAVE BUTTON!

The next screen will show the hours page. You can exit the program or add new hours. If you need to make a change to any of the saved entries, click on the underlined title. You will be taken to the “Input Hours” screen and you can then make any necessary changes. After changes are made, click the “Save Hours” button to register the changes.
