VSys Web is a tool designed to allow you to accept volunteer applications online, then download and process those applications in VSys. Bespoke hosts the website for you (written in Ruby on Rails using a MySQL database). Your copy of VSys connects to your MySQL database hosted on our server. This is a "disconnected" system in that the web site does not have live access to your local VSys One database. This has the benefit of not requiring a full-time fixed network connection. The downside is that you must regularly "synchronize" the VSys local database with the web database. Fortunately this synchronization is a very easy process.

For a custom application form to be used on the VSys Web site, it must be configured as a web form. See Web Application Notes under Custom Application Forms for more information on how to set up a custom application form for web.
