VSys One: Volunteer Management Software

Listings Views

VSys Live defines "Listing views" which can be used to show various lists of data. Some examples of listings blocks are:

Application forms (only those already submitted by the current user)
Assignments
Attached files
Available application forms (only those relevant to the current user)
Award progress
Awards
Calendar items
Certifications
Downloadable files
Eligibility/intake checklists (displays the status of the current user's eligibility checklists)
Expiring attributes
Hours
Job associations
List of links (you add 1+ links to this and VSys Live displays them)
Mandates
Menu (renders the contents of a menu as a listing)
Messages
News items
Online trainings (those available to the current user)
Open schedule jobs (available for signup)
Other volunteers based on shared jobs (a listing of other users where those users and the logged-in one share one or more jobs)
Relationships
Reports (those already submitted/run by the current user)
Self-run reports (those available to the current user)
Suggested jobs
Team members
Trainings (those already associated with the current user)
VSys Live pages (a listing of pages that meet given criteria)

The idea behind these blocks is to let you easily display records associated with each volunteer, and give you a lot of flexibility in how that's done. Different listings blocks have different filters available based on the type of information that they display. There are four ways that listings blocks get displayed in VSys Live:

As an HTML table
As a sortable display generated by VSys Live (supports paging and sorting)
As a merge with header and footer
As dynamic banner.

Field	Description
Description	A description for your own purposes; not used by VSys Live.
Title	Shown at the top of the listing.
Source	Depending on the type of data being displayed here, you have the option of showing the site visitor: `Logged-in user`: that user's information only. `Named team members`: if "Named teams" are enabled, and the visitor is a team, shows the visitor information about the people in her team. `Specific relationships`: Selecting one or more relationships here such as "`Child`" will show the site visitor the information about people who are related to the visitor with these relationships. Use these to let a parent see his children's information, or spouses to see each other's data. `As supervisor`: Only available for hours, assignments and others that have a "Supervisor" property, using this shows records for which the current site visitor is a supervisor.
Display	`As sortable display`, `As HTML table`, `As merge with header and footer`, `As dynamic banner`.
Show to	Determines whether logged-in, anonymous (not logged-in) or all visitors can see this block. (Note that most listings blocks are only applicable to logged-in visitors.)
Weight	Because items can be inherited from a template page, you don't set the position of an item within each region directly, instead you give it a "weight". If more than one visible item is in the same region, VSys Live will sort them by weight with the lightest ones (lowest weight) at the top.
Columns to show	Check one or more pieces of data about each item that you want displayed. Only applicable for displaying as HTML table or sortable display.
Sort	Set the initial sort order of items in this list.
Modify column names	When VSys Live shows this list, it uses built-in names for each column of data. Clicking this link lets you change the name of individual columns as they're displayed.
Display even when empty	By default, a listing is not shown at all if it has no content. Checking this will result in VSys Live displaying the block even if there are no records in it.
Others (for example Attributes, Maximum days in the past, etc.)	These will vary based on the type of listings block selected.
Comments	For your own purposes; not shown on VSys Live.

Data in a listing block can't be edited: these are only meant to display data.
