Holiday Greeting Rule Details

Each greeting rule has its own set of details. You can set up your holiday greetings years in advance, and VSys will show them only when appropriate.

Description

Description

A description for your own use, will not appear to the volunteer.

Holiday

Select a holiday from the defined list of holidays. You can create your own using the Holidays link on the Setup panel.

Template to use

Select a letter template here. You'll define the letter templates themselves using the Letter templates tool on the Letters, mail merges and labels panel. For a letter template to be usable here, it must have the letter type of "Holiday greeting".

Minimum/Maximum age

For birthday greetings only, lets you limit the ages of the recipients who receive this message. (You may want to define a different greeting for your teenage volunteers than the one that goes to your seniors.)

Number of days before...

If the volunteer signs in up to this point before the holiday, the greeting will be shown early.

Number of days after...

If the greeting hasn't been shown yet, and it's up to this many days after the holiday, the greeting will still be shown.

Inactive

If inactive, the greeting won't be shown to anyone, but isn't deleted either.

If the greeting isn't shown to the person between the (holiday date - days before)..(holiday date + days after), the greeting won't be shown at all that year.
