VSys One: Volunteer Management Software

Custom Calendars

Custom calendars in VSys Live let you assemble your own calendars with multiple different types of events and one or more view types. Once created, a calendar is placed on a VSys Live page just like any other content. The most common usage for these is to have two on your VSys Live site: one as the organization calendar and one as the personal calendar.

On the organization calendar you'd most commonly include:

Calendar items
Holidays
News items
Open job slots for main calendar

And on the personal calendar:

Assignments
Calendar items
Holidays
Interviews
Open job slots for main calendar
Trainings

All of these items let you set the background and font colors for the items as displayed. You should use high-contrast color schemes when possible for legibility.

Some of these items may include options such as:

Include "send message" link: Optionally includes hyperlinks that, when clicked, send an e-mail to the selected person. The sender does not see the e-mail address of the recipient, but the recipient does see the sender's address and can respond directly back to that sender by e-mail.
Include cancel assignment link: If present and the volunteer is allowed to self-cancel the assignment, lets the volunteer do so and prompt for comments.
Exclude full family name: Use for birthdays, anniversaries, etc., especially on public calendars that don't require anyone to be logged in.
For: Lets you choose one or more source relationships from which to find the people eligible to be used for this content source.
