In a person or other object's attached files, files are now grouped by type.
On lists of people, dragging a single image onto a person who has no photo now prompts the user to add that image as the person's photo or to add it as an attached file.
Added the concept of "Avatars" for volunteers; this must be enabled in Setup --> System preferences --> Feature enabling for it to work.
General
The new Suggested jobs sub-letter lets you send suggested job openings to your volunteers via e-mail and SMS/text message.
In date editors, if the date editor is blank, hitting the T key on the keyboard will put the current date into that field.
Account types now have the property Use for tracking job outcomes/impacts.
Added new awards basis, "Account balance". This award type can optionally debit the recipient's account if the award is saved as other than Skipped or Denied, generate multiple awards if the balance is high enough, and will delete the account debits if the award itself is deleted or its status is changed. Award definitions now include the property When nominating awards, give them this status.
Filters and reports based on relationships can now include an effective date of the relationship.
VSys Web setup added new setting, Use automatic database settings. When checked, VSys will automatically determine, each time you synchronize with VSys Web, what the best connection settings are to use but always using SSL connections.
Bulk Value Updater can now update the Account, Date and Comment fields for account records; checklist fields can now use the operation "Append the value of another field".
RE/Synch can now, when creating new people in RE, use the next available numeric constituent ID instead of the person's VSys short ID code.
Many user-defined items like skills, job preferences, restrictions, etc. can now be merged together in their setup tools.
The filter "Entrant image" is added under a second name, "Photo".
Tools
In the List manager, added a right-click option Selected --> Copy names and addresses to the clipboard.
In Security Manager, added a right-click option to impersonate a user. Available only to superusers, this lets the superuser see and work with VSys as that user for testing purposes. Trace records are posted as the real user, not the impersonated user.
Added new Credit volunteer hours (simplified) hours entry tool which offers fewer options but faster and simpler entry of hours; this is available from the main VSys screen, as a tool profile item and via right-click on a person from the various Person lookup tools.
The Hours entry tool can now optionally show only jobs for which the currently-selected person has recent assignments, hours or job associations.
Reports
Added new reportable fields for people,
Months since first active, representing the number of months between the current date and the earlier of the person's Date active and Date started.
Years since first active is revised to use the same logic as this new field.
Days of service, Months of service, and Years of service. Each uses the earlier of the person's Date active and Date started combined with transitions to exclude periods when their status is not Active.
Added new reportable field for hours records, FTE equivalent.
When reporting on transitions, transitions associated with objects other than people (e.g. addresses) can now be reported.
Jobs
Job definitions and VSys Live sites now have the option of setting comments templates for use when checking out and/or posting hours records; hours and check out comments can optionally be converted to incoming messages.
Re-arrangement of the job definition tool to add the new Metrics/measurements panel and re-organize duties, qualifications, etc.
Added new concept of "Job value measurements"; job definitions can now include zero or more of these measurements plus a current and optional past per-hour value for each of these measurements.
Added new job definition properties: Original date, Last checked and Next review date.
Added five built-in job value measurements plus three reports: "Focus Value Analysis: Assignment counts", "Focus Value Analysis: Hours", and "Focus Value Analysis: Unique volunteers".
Substantially revised the logic used for determining week of the year and week of the month as regards recurring assignments and recurring slots: the first week of either is the week whose Sunday is the first Sunday of the year or month. If the year/month does not begin with a Sunday, the days prior to that first Sunday are considered to be week zero.
When creating multiple job slots, now shows a Test button to see what slots the rules would generate.
Walkup check in jobs can now be excluded for check in on the kiosk if the volunteer has an assignment and/or other jobs to check in for.
Recurring job slots, when calculating the week of the month, now consider the first week of the month to be the first week in which the first required day is present. For example, a recurring slot on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays and Wednesdays of the month would have its first slots in the first week of the month which has a Tuesday in it, and the next slots would follow 14 days later.
Kiosk walkup check in jobs can now be edited from within the job setup tool and from within individual jobs.
Job definitions now support the concept of required lists and incompatible lists for people.
Various properties of job slots are now tracked as transitions: Start, Duration, Job, Location, Supervisor and Count.
VSys Live
Job definitions and VSys Live sites now have the option of setting comments templates for use when checking out and/or posting hours records; hours and check out comments can optionally be converted to incoming messages.
Added an HTML Metadata panel to each VSys Live site's setup; this metadata will be included in generated pages.
On the Web/kiosk panel in a person's profile, added the new "Send user ID and password by e-mail" link. Only available for VSys Live, this uses the VSys Live sites and settings --> Login notifications --> Password resets --> Administrator messages template to generate the e-mail body and sends the message via MAPI.
Added VSys Live setting for assignment self-cancellation, Self-cancellation marks assignment as 'Volunteer requests replacement'.
Added VSys Live setting for job searching, In job search results, include assignments marked as 'Volunteer requests replacement'.
In the VOXI trace monitor, logs can now be exported as Excel or dBase files.
In calendar item setup, can now duplicate calendar items and filter items by date.
Training courses now support invitation codes.
Kiosk
When a PIN is entered that uniquely matches a single person, the kiosk will consider the Log in button to be pressed without the user having to press that button.
Projects can now automatically create and update calendar items on VSys Live.
The New Project Wizard now allows configuration of VSys Live search options; the project property for First date visible now allows setting a time value as well so the project becomes available not just at midnight.
