ALL counties with an active Purdue MG Program will be required to use Purdue MG Manager for reporting/tracking Purdue MG activities. The adoption of a program-wide tracking system will increase the efficiency of gathering and reporting critical impact data for the Purdue MG Program and provide important internal website functions for MG Coordinators and volunteers. I appreciate your cooperation and patience as we make this important transition.

Instructions for MG Coordinators

ATTENTION! Purdue Boiler Key Two Factor Authentication is required for using Purdue MG Manager for all Purdue staff!

For more information about Boiler Key, visit: Purdue Boiler Key Two Factor Authentication

Please visit the Purdue MG Manager Login URL: https://www.purdue.edu/mg-volunteer/login.php and click the "Are you a Purdue employee?" Login link. You will be as to register in the system (See screen shot below). Click on "Register with MG Manager". You will need your county registration code to register. PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD THIS LIST TO MG VOLUNTEERS!
County Registration Codes
After you have registered, you will be able to move throughout your county's pages but you will not be able to edit the pages until I set your administrative authority level. You know this has happened when you see "Super Admin" in the upper black tool bar. Once I've set your admin authority, you will be able to edit your county's information pages, see test report data on the "statewide county" page and explore other functions of the "Admin" pages. To find the admin pages, click on "Super Admin" in the black tool bar at the top of all webpages in the system.

I encourage you to take a few days to explore the functions of the new system and get familiar with it. I would encourage you to enter some test hours to see how it looks in your county's reports, enter some events on the calendar, edit informational pages, etc

If you wish to use the system in "basic" mode, you can simply click the button "change site mode" at the bottom of any page and turn off all informational pages, leaving just hours reporting, calendar, directory, and volunteer ops. All individual record keeping functions for MG's will remain and categories will remain for reporting.

Set up your "site" and "hours" categories by visiting the "Super Admin" page. See these instructions.

I would like for you to wait till after January 17, 2017 to open registration to MG volunteers.

Remember, all MG's will need to register in the system and all MG's will need the county registration code. PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD THE ENTIRE LIST TO MG VOLUNTEERS! Without this code, volunteers will not be able to register. Once volunteers have registered, they may begin to report hours. You might consider opening registration to about 20 - 30 MG's and then after you're comfortable with the process, send the registration email to Purdue MG volunteers in your county.

I've included sample email text below that you may send to MG volunteers inviting them to register in the system. I'm planning to record training videos to help you and MG's navigate the system. Look for links to training videos on this page.
The Purdue Master Gardener Program is launching Purdue MG Manager, a new online volunteer management system for Purdue Master Gardener volunteers. This system provides a way for Purdue Master Gardener volunteers to report volunteer activity and educational training hours online, communicate details about volunteer projects, keep and maintain a personal profile, designate calendar events as volunteer opportunities with an online volunteer recruitment for these activities, make use of a local MG volunteer directory, sign annual agreement forms electronically, and more!
All Purdue MG's must register in the system and as part of the registration process provide basic contact information including an email address (required) and county registration code (required). ______________ County's registration code is __________________. Please register and report some current volunteer activity and educational training hours. Your prior total hours will be entered later by your County MG Coordinator to bring your historic hours records up to date. Please keep copies of all past and current hours as a personal backup for your records.

Thank you for reporting your hours! ____________________, Extension Educator, __________ County
