The features in this chapter are pretty powerful tools and create multiple connections at once. So remember "With great powers come great responsibility" and train users how to properly use these features. These features are not enabled by default in HandsOn Connect - but require the System Administrator to enable them. Instructions for enabling these features can be found in Advanced System Administrators Guide.

Only enable advanced features when you have a specific business need to use these advanced functionalities - and enable them only for profiles that have been trained to use them. (You can enable them for System Administrators only if desired).

Grouped Occurrences allow users to have volunteers sign up or express interest in a series of occurrences as in one step. They can only be associated with Date & Time Specific volunteer opportunities and all the occurrences in the group must be associated with a single volunteer opportunity.

The ability to group occurrences can be made available to system admin and staff users, and to premium portal users. Grouped Occurrences are not available to basic portal users.
