VSys Live Recurring Assignments

Because it's impractical for a volunteer to define her own rules for a recurring assignment, e.g. "I want to work Saturday mornings 9am-noon, Sunday evenings from 4pm-midnight and every other Wednesday", and yet you need to give volunteers a means to sign up for assignments that recur over time, VSys Live has its own version of recurring assignments.

Defining VSys Live recurring assignments gives volunteers the opportunity to sign up online for these jobs. The rules you assign here are used to generate real recurring assignments for the volunteers who select them.

Selectable assignment durations

For each duration you set here, VSys Live will offer the job to the volunteer noting how long the assignment will run. If you only define one duration here then the volunteer will have only a single choice and the recurring assignment will run for that many days.
