How To Find A Substitute

How To Find A Substitute

Finding a substitute to cover your hour of adoration is a task AdorationPro handles very well.  It is easy to do and gives you the option to automate the entire process.  Your options are to automatically generate a sub request through the system, or to view the complete list of people who have volunteered to be substitutes and then for you to directly contact someone either via eMail or by phone to see if they will cover your needed hour.  

Finding a Sub is the only process in AdorationPro that requires a passcode.  The reason is the list you will view contains eMail addresses and phone numbers of people who are willing to help.  We value their privacy and protect their information through the use of a passcode.  At the time of this writing the passcode is "subpass", use it judicially.

I need a sub ... what do I do?
Step 1:  Go to www.adorationpro.org/ihmmi and click on "Find A Sub" on the right side of the screen.

Step 2:  A box will appear and ask you for the passcode ... you type "subpass" and click "Login".

Step 3:  Here is where the option comes in.  You choose between "Send Auto Sub Request" or "Manually Find A Sub From A List"

Let's say you choose the first option by clicking "Send Auto Sub Request"

A Sub Request form appears on the screen.  Fill in the form with First Name, Last Name, eMail, Date you need help and verify the time slot.  Once that's done click "Send Sub Request"

The system will send an eMail to everyone on the list who said they were available on the day of week you specified by entering the date.  The system will then do one more sort ... and that is to match the time of day the volunteer is available to the time on the form you entered in the 'Time Slot' space.

Just those volunteers that meet your criteria will receive an eMail.  The first volunteer to accept your request will block out anyone else who received the original request.  This eliminates confusion when more than one person said they would cover for you.  An eMail reply is sent back to you to let you know who accepted your request.

Option two "Manually Find A Sub From A List"

If you select option two the entire sub list will appear showing you the name of the volunteer, their eMail address, their phone number, and the time frame they are available.  You have to visually find a person who said they were available at the day/time you need help.  You then make the contact through eMail or by phone asking if the person can cover for you.  You manually do that until you find someone to cover your hour.

This second option sounds more cumbersome, and for many of us it would be.  But there is a large number of Adorers who know exactly who they can rely on in time of need and its easier for them to just call or eMail rather than checking their eMail inbox to see if they received a positive reply from their request.
