VSys One: Volunteer Management Software

VSys Web Users on Server

VSys gives you a tool to see users on the VSys Web server and update the data on either the VSys Web server, VSys database, or both - without having to do a database synchronization. The data shown here can be different on VSys Web server from the VSys database, and you can edit the data on either database to force VSys to update one from the other.

Access this tool from the VSys Web panel under Data on Server, then View and edit web user information on web server.

When would you use this?

A volunteer calls saying that they can't get into their web account, and their e-mail address has changed so they can't get a password reset sent.

Enter the person's e-mail address, then click on Get users from server.
Click on the volunteer to edit his record.
Enter a new e-mail address and password for him, then click Save.
Click Save at the top, and ask the volunteer to try to sign in and verify that his account works.
