Basis

Description

Subjective/manual

These are the simplest types of awards: VSys will not automatically nominate anyone for them, they must be manually nominated based on your own criteria. Example: "Most Friendly Volunteer".

Hours between two dates

Requires a minimum number of hours between the dates that you specify.

Lifetime hours

Requires a minimum number of hours credited in the volunteer's entire history.

Years with hours

A certain count of qualifying years is required, a year only counts if, during that year, the volunteer has at least the specified number of hours.

Months with hours

A count of qualifying months is required.

Years with active months

A certain number of qualifying years is required, a year only counts if, during that year, there are at least the specified number of months with volunteer hours.

Years since first activity

Counts the years since the volunteer's first credited volunteer hours, and that count must be between the given minimum and maximum.
