Job and Job Groups

Concepts

Job: describes a task which needs to be done. In VSys, a job has a description and job group and it may be associated with locations, a sport, skills or job preferences. It may have required interviews, trainings or background checks, and have restrictions on the volunteer's age and/or gender.

Job group: similar to a department, VSys uses job groups to organize jobs together. Every job has exactly one job group.

Job slot: a job combined with a time, location and duration where you need one or more volunteers.

Jobs and job groups should be set up globally. For a specific project, you can then copy the relevant jobs into that project, and then make any project-specific changes you need.

Before you begin

Decide first what your jobs are, and how they should be broken up into job groups. What are your departments? What are the functional units in your organization? These will help you organize your jobs.

To define jobs and job groups globally, click on Jobs and job groups from the Setup panel on the VSys One main screen. To define them in a specific project, open that project then click on Job and job group definitions from the Setup panel in the project.

Steps in this task

1. Define your job groups. Click on the Add job group link to create a new one, or on an existing one to edit its properties.
2. Define one or more jobs within each job group. Click on the Add job link to create a new one, or click on an existing one to edit its properties.

Copying jobs

If you already have jobs and job groups configured in another project (or globally), click on the Copy jobs from another project link. Select the source, then jobs and job groups, then click on the Execute copy link.

VSys will let you copy jobs and job groups in with the same name as jobs and job groups you already have. Don't do that - you'll have duplicated jobs and job groups.
