When adding someone to this project, especially via VSys Live or VSys Web, this is the default delegation that the person will be given. |
Special VSys Live settings
Show on VSys Live as a calendar item, A separate item for each day |
Checking this will cause VSys to create a web calendar item for the project or one for each day of the project. When the project's name and/or dates are changed, VSys will automatically update the calendar items: deleting those no longer appropriate, making new ones for new dates, and updating the descriptions of existing ones if the current descriptions match the project's old description. |
Allow searching via VSys Live |
If checked, job slots within this project can be found using VSys Live. Entering date and time ranges here limits when volunteers can actually see and sign up for these jobs. This is a good way of hiding jobs until you're ready for volunteer signup. |
