Job Basics

Field name

Description

Job name

Text description of the job.

Job group

Every job must be associated with a job group.

Locations

Valid locations for this job. Not required. If left blank, any location is valid for this job.

Associated job preferences

VSys uses these to automatically match people to jobs. Setting one or more job preferences here helps match the job with people who have the same or similar preferences.

Required skills

VSys will only let you assign someone to this job if he has all of the skills checked here.

Preferred skills

VSys will let you assign someone to this job with or without these skills, but will put up a warning if the volunteer doesn't have all of them.

Holidays

When creating recurring assignments, VSys will skip any days which fall on the holidays checked here.

Required, approved applications

Require that volunteers have certain applications completed and approved before they can do this job.

Value of each volunteered hour

When volunteers are given credit for hours for this job, this is the default monetary value for every hour volunteered.

Default duration of each assignment

When creating new job slots, slots for this job will be made with this duration. This is also used in the kiosk system - if a volunteer doesn't sign out, he will be given credit for this amount of time for each assignment.

Don't show warnings...

When assigning people to this job, if this is not checked, VSys will show a warning if that person hasn't indicated availability for the time period you're assigning. If the volunteer has specifically indicated that they are not available at that time, however, VSys will still show a warning.

Associated accounts

Accounts checked here can be used for entry of things like meals delivered, trips made, items donated, etc.

Requirements

Required trainings

VSys will only let you assign someone to this job if he has all of the trainings checked here, and those trainings must not have expired.

Required interviews

VSys will only allow you assign someone to this job if he has all of the interviews checked here. Note: An interview with the result of "Unacceptable" will not be considered valid.

Required languages

Languages the volunteer must speak in order to be assigned to this job.

Required background checks

VSys will only let you assign someone to this job if he has all of the background checks checked here, and those background checks must be valid.

Incompatible background check restrictions

On the background check results form, if the volunteer has any of the restrictions checked here, VSys won't let them be assigned to this job.

Required gender

If a specific gender is selected, only people of that gender may be assigned to this job.

Requires volunteer to be in a specific age range

If checked, only volunteers in the given age range can be assigned to this job.

Restrict delegations

Only within a project. VSys will only allow people on this list of delegations to be assigned this job.

Duties, contacts, etc.

Duties

Included on job reports, this is a description of what the job itself entails. If you have these in other documents, you can cut and paste from an RTF file.

Qualifications

Included on job reports, this is a description of the qualifications that every volunteer assigned to it should have.

Contact information

Included on job reports, these are specific instructions on who to contact about this job.

Supervisors

Define any number of supervisors for this job. They will be available for selection as the supervisors for all assignments to this job.

Changing the restrictions for this job will not remove people already assigned to the job who don't meet the new restrictions.

Changing a job's properties in one project (or globally) does not affect any other jobs in other projects. They're all copies, so changing a copy doesn't change the others.

If your system is configured for touchscreen/kiosk, VSys Live or both, the job properties screen will continue with VSys Live/touchscreen/kiosk specifications. Most values configure for both features, but there may be some small differences on your screen depending which feature(s) you are using.

Kiosk display description

If entered, this job will be known on the kiosk by the name you enter here.

Even if a volunteer has history...

If checked, volunteers are not allowed to sign themselves up for this job via the touchscreen/kiosk even if they have past hours or assignments.

Allow volunteers to self enter via the touchscreen/kiosk

Allows volunteers to give themselves arbitrary hours (other than checking in and out) via the touchscreen/kiosk.

Allow volunteers to self enter via the website

Allows volunteers to give themselves arbitrary hours (other than checking in and out) via the website.

Accounts to show for entry

The kiosk or VSys Live can allow volunteers to enter account records when checking out from a job. These can be things like "Meals delivered", "Patients visited", or any other metric. After defining the accounts you want to use, select, on this list, the ones that the volunteer should see when checking out of this job.

When checking out, allow volunteer to add additional time

Select this if you want volunteers to be allowed to enter additional time when checking out of this job.

When checking out, prompt volunteer for travel time

Use this to allow volunteers to enter travel time in addition to their hours for this job. That travel time can be credited at the end or beginning of their assignment, and can optionally be credited to a job other than this one (the one they're signed in for). (Note: travel time to another job is not valid on VSys Live.)

When checking out, prompt volunteer for distance driven

If selected, when the volunteer checks out, they will be given a place to enter the miles driven associated with this job. If hours are credited for their travel time, and done to a job other than this one, the miles/kilometers entered here will be credited to that hours record and not the one for this job.
