Charitable Causes & Voting
Role: Employees
Scope: Employee corporate-giving portal
Purpose
Provide a decision workspace where employees can compare causes and vote.
Who this is for
Employees in active corporate-giving voting periods and guest viewers.
Prerequisites
- Employee mode for voting actions, or guest mode for read-only browsing.
Step-by-step instructions
1. Open Charitable Causes
Go to Causes from the employee navigation.
2. Read the period banner
- Active period: banner shows voting end date.
- Upcoming period: banner can show next start date.
- Guest mode or no relevant period: banner may be hidden.
3. Browse and filter visually
Use campaign cards to compare cause name, short description, and image.
4. Vote from card or details page
Use the heart action on cards or vote button in details view.
5. Handle max-vote cases
If vote limit is reached, new selections can be routed to pending votes in My Votes.
What users should expect
- Already selected causes are highlighted.
- Cause details include NGO context and richer campaign information.
Common issues and troubleshooting
- Heart action missing: period may be inactive or you are in guest mode.
- Vote sent to pending instead of active: you have reached your max votes for this period.
Verify success
- Selected causes are visibly highlighted after voting.
- Vote actions update active or pending state in My Votes.
