VSys One: Volunteer Management Software

Job Slots in the Jobs/Slots Calendar Tool

Job slots show with a color coded "thermometer" along their left side indicating how complete they are.

Gray slots have no volunteers in them.
Yellow slots have at least one person assigned.
Green slots are full (or over-full).

People whose assignment in a job slot has a status other than Normal or Pending approval don't count towards a slot's fill level. Assignments of more than one person, e.g. a team, count as more than one person when determining if the slot is full or not, but they only show once on the listing of people. When you've clicked on a job slot, on the lower-right side of the screen you'll see the Volunteers panel. From here you can work with the individuals and their current assignment by right-clicking on a person.

Creating new job slots

Create a new job slot by right-clicking on the grid and selecting Create job slots and then selecting the job, or by dragging a job from the listing of jobs on the right side onto the grid. See Create Job Slots for more specifics on creating new job slots.

Working with existing job slots

Edit an existing job slot with the mouse by clicking on it and dragging it to a new start date/time and/or location, or resizing the top or bottom of it to change its start time or duration. Right-click on a job slot to bring up a menu of tools for that job slot:

Edit this job slot

Just this one	Any changes made here affect only this job slot, and no others.
This and future ones like it	Changes you make affect this job slot and all other identical ones like it in the future. VSys will prompt you, before you make any changes, telling you how many future slots would be changed.
Extend it into the future	Extend this job slot out the calendar using the same rules used to create it.

Just this one		Removes this job slot. If there are any assignments within this slot, deletes them as well.
This and future ones		Removes this job slot and all others like it in the future, and if there are any assignments within this slot or its successors, deletes them as well. VSys will prompt you with the number of future slots that would be affected.
