Setting Up Verified Volunteers

To configure VSys to send and retrieve background checks from Verified Volunteers, you must first enable the option in VSys and then configure Verified Volunteers screening.

  1. From the Setup panel, choose System preferences and feature enabling, and then under Feature enabling check Background checks: Verified Volunteers. Save these changes.
  2. Configure Setup Verified Volunteers background checks from the Screening panel, under Vendor setup:

Field name

Description

Submit requests to testing server

If checked, VSys will send request submissions to Verified Volunteers' testing server rather than production server. Note that the login credentials for the two servers will be different, as will the valid packages.

Retrieve results from VSys One servers

Verified Volunteers' servers do not support querying by VSys One or any other system. Instead, Verified Volunteers sends status updates to a designated server. That server will usually be one managed by VSys One. When this box is checked, VSys will query VSys One's server, when retrieving results for Verified Volunteers background checks.

Note that while VSys One's server supports Verified Volunteers sending results to it, that server strips out all identifying information from the data that Verified Volunteers sends. That is, VSys captures the request ID code, statuses and processing logs, but that captured data cannot be used to identify who the results are for. Instead, each customer's VSys One database queries the server based on the ID code of the request, and only the customer's database "knows" anything about the person that the request is associated with.

Use bulk results retrieve mechanism

Use this as suggest by the VSys One support team.

A "clear" result is good for

After retrieving a result from Verified Volunteers indicating that the volunteer is adjudicated as eligible, VSys One will update or create the Background results certification for that volunteer with an expiration date this many years in the future based on the request's original submission date.

Minimum volunteer age

Any person whose age is below this won't be sent to Verified Volunteers. In most cases this should be set to 18.

Post to Verified Volunteers using Internet Explorer/Windows API

Check this to have VSys use the standard Windows API when talking with Verified Volunteers. In most cases this field should be checked.

Valid packages

Verified Volunteers will provide you with one or more "package codes". These codes are used to tell Verified Volunteer's servers, for each request, the type of screening to be done, payment method, and other settings.

Enter the packages that Verified Volunteers gives you. For each package, in the first column put a description that makes sense for you, and in the second column put the code that Verified Volunteers assigns.

The package codes that you enter here will now be available within Verified Volunteers background check requests in each person's profile.
