Exporting Volunteers
July 21, 2010, 02:31:16 am
Hi,
I have a custom relationship called Volunteer. A person can be a volunteer to multiple non-profit organizations and vice versa. How can I export Individuals and seeing all the organizations he/she is volunteering?

In the custom field export screen, I pick Individual - Volunteer For (custom relationship) - Organization Name and it only lists out one organization even when the individual may have volunteered to multiple.

Please help and many thanks in advance.

Depending what you need, you may get closer by looking at civireports which does offer a Relationship option - not sure how it handles multiples though.

CiviReport's Relationship report offers only the Individual and Organization name. It doesn't extract more like address, phone etc.

Exports will pull out that data but it only works for 1 relationship of the same type, i.e. will only show he/she is a volunteer of one organization even though there are others in the database

you might want to consider contributing code that extends the relationship report

if not a programmer, consider hiring someone from http://civicrm.org/professional/
