VSys One: Volunteer Management Software

Certification Designer - Fixed Layout

When the certification is not set to Automatic layout, you place fields into explicit positions. Versions of VSys prior to 3.2 "understand" only this mechanism, though it's much less flexible than the automatic layout.

The certification designer lets you add, edit and remove fields from the certification's definition. VSys lets you have an unlimited number of fields on each certification, only requiring that each field have its own unique code. Click the Edit layout/design link to change the fields in a certification.

Actions

Click on Add new field to define a new field. There are three types of fields you can add:

Effective	This is a special field. It creates a field with the field code of `sigdate` and will show in the Effective column in a person's certifications panel, as well as in reports showing the effective date.
Expiration	This is a special field. It creates a field with the field code of `expdate` and will show in the Expiration column in a person's certifications panel, as well as in reports showing the expiration date.
Normal	Use this for all other fields to be added.

Click on Add label to place a text label on the certification.
Click and drag any field around to move or resize it.
Move labels when moving fields: when checked, and you drag a field around, its corresponding label will move relative to the field.
The alignment tools at the upper-left can be used to help arrange the fields. Select two or more fields, then click on the appropriate icon. From left to right, these icons mean: Align left, Align centered horizontally, Align right, Align top, Align centered vertically, Align bottom, Space equally vertically, Space equally horizontally.
Right-click on any field to Edit or Delete it.

You cannot change the code of a field once it's been created.

Changing the data type or options for a field may cause VSys to misinterpret the fields for certifications of this type which already exist.
