Abbreviated name

This name is normally used on scoreboards in GMS, but can also be displayed in many custom reports.

Other languages spoken

Any other languages commonly spoken by people in this group.

Group type

The type of group this represents.

Group to get credit for hours

When volunteers are given credit for their hours, their primary group normally also gets credit for them. If this group is a subsidiary of some other group, or you want another group to get credit for the people in this group, select it here. Note: this only applies to newly-credited hours, not ones done in the past.

Delegation to get credit for hours

When volunteers are credited with hours, normally their delegation also gets credit. To have that credit given to a different delegation, set it here.

Applicability

Controls whether this group is shown in VSys One only, GMS only, or in both systems. Making a group inapplicable to either system does not remove it or make it inaccessible, it just suppresses it from some lists.

Group

The group that this delegation is based on.

Changes made to this delegation in the project should be copied back to the original group

Within the project, if the delegations name or other properties are changed and this box is checked, VSys will copy those changes back to the global group.

Roles allowed in this delegation

Only roles allowed in the project can be selected. This value can be the same as the list of roles allowed in the project or a limited set of them. Note: making a role not valid here will not remove people who are already registered with that role.

Addresses

The address of the group itself. This can be used in mailings.
