How do I add or edit a drop-off location?

Sometimes one drop-off spot isn't quite enough — maybe gifters are finding it hard to get to you during school hours, or a second location has opened up. You can add as many drop-off locations as you need. Here's how.

Getting to the Edit screen

Log in, click Organised Projects, and open the project you want to update. Along the top, click Edit in the header menu (Summary, Communication, Edit, Updates).

Adding a new drop-off location

On the Edit screen, scroll down to your drop-off locations and add a new one by increasing the number of drop off locations under Number of drop off locations

This is really handy when a secondary location becomes available. A lot of schools, for example, find that gifters struggle to get to the school during school hours — so they add a second location like the coordinator's home address, open on weekends or after school. That way there's always a way for people to get their koha to you.

Setting the days and hours

For each location, put in the days and hours it's open for drop-offs, so gifters know exactly when they can come.

The project drop-off locations form shows days and hours set to “Between 8am and 3pm” and an unchecked “Provide additional drop off instructions” option; red circles mark both. Visible: Project Description, Number of drop off locations, First Address, Location Name, asdasd Park School, Address.

Adding extra drop-off instructions

If there's anything else a gifter needs to know, tick the Provide additional drop-off instructions box. This is the spot for things like:

  • "Please text me first on this number before you come."

  • "We've got a dog, so make sure you come around the side."

Editing an existing location

To change a location you've already set up, just update its details — the address, the days and hours, or the instructions — right there on the Edit screen.

Saving your changes

Once your locations are how you want them, scroll down and save (the save button at the bottom of the Edit screen).
