VSys One: Volunteer Management Software

VSys Live Kiosk

VSys Live Kiosk is functionally similar to the regular VSys Kiosk, except that it's run in a browser using the VSys Live architecture rather than as a thick Windows application. With VSys Live Kiosk, volunteers can:

• Check in and out of assignments
• Send/receive messages
• Manually enter hours
• See their upcoming schedules
• Use other VSys Live blocks such as "Hours summaries" or "My messages".

Because it’s running in a web browser, VSys Live Kiosk doesn't need to be installed on any workstations: just install it once on your server. Then allow computers inside your network, outside, or both to connect to it.

Limitations

Unlike the PC-based VSys Kiosk, VSys Live Kiosk can’t do a few things that require a PC:

• Reports/meal cards directly to a printer at checkin/checkout. It can deliver these automatically by e-mail or SMS/text message, however.
• Scanning barcodes or magnetic stripe ID cards is more challenging as it requires the barcode/magnetic stripe scanner to work on a mobile device.
