VSys One: Volunteer Management Software

VSys Live Visibility Rules

Visibility rules can be used to separate the logic for the visibility of blocks on VSys Live pages from the setup of the blocks themselves. By grouping the conditions (dates, certifications, eligibility and intake checklists), changing when whole groups of blocks are visible can be done by changing a single visibility rule. This can be especially useful when using an agreement block to hide that block when the current person has agreed to all relevant items, or to hide job signup from volunteers who are not yet eligible to select jobs.

Define visibility rules from the VSys Live sites and settings tool and click on Visibility rules. Create a new rule by clicking Add visibility rule, edit an existing rule by clicking on it, or right-click on a rule to make other changes including deleting it.

For an item to be "visible" based on a visibility rule, the rule's conditions must all be met:

• If a date range is entered, the current date must be within that range. (A blank Earliest date implies that any date up to and including Latest date is valid. A blank Latest date implies that any date on or after Earliest date is valid.)
• If any certifications are required, the logged-in person must have all of these and they must be currently valid.
• If any certifications are excluded, the logged-in person must not have any of these that are currently valid.
• If one or more eligibility/checklists are selected, the logged-in person must have all of these and they must be currently valid.

Once you've defined visibility rules, use them within the VSys Live pages to choose when various blocks should be visible and who should see them.
