Pro Tips:

  • Write down the Butler URL and login credentials on a few sheets of paper or sticky notes and hand them out to your volunteers so they can easily get logged back in if they log out.
  • The separate URL is designed to give your volunteers access to only the Butler, they cannot access the admin from the Butler.
  • Email the training documents, located at the bottom of this article, to your volunteers prior to your event.
  • Perform an overview of check-in and check-out with your volunteers one hour prior to your event.

When logged in directly through the Butler URL link, the timeout will be 4 hours if left inactive.
