Organization Codes

Stations can have relationships with both national organizations (maintained by Central Office) or local organizations (maintained by the station). This screen allows you to create or edit information for local organizations that station volunteers can credit hours to. It is important to note that stations and substations maintain separate local organizations. The information entered for each new organization includes code, name, and an optional abbreviation for the name. Although you can view the code, name, and abbreviation for any of the station's affiliated organizations, you can edit it only if the organization is local.

  4. (Optional) Enter an abbreviation for the new organization (up to 6 characters) in the Abbreviation field.
