VSys One: Volunteer Management Software

Job Signup Restrictions

Job signup restrictions are designed to let you apply complex rules to allowing or disallowing a volunteer's selecting a job slot online. How do they work?

When signing up for a job slot online, VSys will go through the rules here one by one.
After finding a rule that matches the selected job slot, both on the overall details (Jobs, Locations, etc.) and that matches all of the detail rules, VSys either allows the signup or denies it.
If Stop processing other rules if this one matches is checked, VSys stops. Otherwise it continues on to other rules.
The Result of the last rule that matches is used to allow or deny the signup; if it's being denied, the Message to show on deny from the last rule is shown to the volunteer.

Job signup restrictions are specific to individual VSys Live sites.

Example rule

Description	For your use.
Order	Rules are processed in order, from lowest to highest.
Rule effective date, Rule expiration date	This rule is only effective during this date range (this isn't the slot's date, it's today's date).
Inactive	An inactive rule is ignored.
Jobs, Locations, Job tags, Supervisors	All of these must match the corresponding property of the job slot.
People types, Groups, Volunteer types	All of these must match the current volunteer.
Lists	The volunteer must be on one or more of these lists; use Intellilists where you need more complex criteria for matching people.
Result	"`Allow`" or "`Deny`".
Stop processing other rules if this one matches	If this rule matches and this is not checked, other rules later in the list will be checked and can override this one if they match.
Message to show on deny	Only if Result is "`Deny`"; shown to volunteer.

Example detail rule

There are three rule types: Assignments, Job associations and Hours: These compare the current slot against the volunteer's other assignments, job associations and hours respectively. If there are more than one detail rules, all of those detail rules must match for the overall restriction rule to match.

Description	For your use.
Rule type	`Assignment`, `Job associations` or `Hours`.
Order	These rules are also processed in order from lowest to highest.
Minimum date, Maximum date	When checking assignments and hours, this limits those to only assignments and hours within this specific date range.
Min days relative to slot date, Max days relative to slot date	When checking assignments and hours, this limits those to only assignments and hours within the given number of days relative to the slot date. For example, `-15` to `45` would look only at assignments fifteen days before the slot and 45 days after it.
Minimum count, Maximum count	Minimum and maximum count of assignments, job associations or hours that meet these criteria. Tip: use `0` and `0` to require that no assignments, etc. are permitted that match.
Minimum duration sum, Maximum duration sum	For assignments and hours, the sum of duration of those assignments or hours records.
Matches job	`No filter`, `Different`, `Same`: compares the slot's job against the job in the assignments, etc.
Matches job group	As above, but looks compares the job group of the slot against the job group of the assignment, etc.
Matches location	`No filter`, `Different`, `Same`: compares the slot's location against the location in the assignments, etc.
Matches supervisor	`No filter`, `Different`, `Same`: compares the slot's supervisor against the supervisor in the assignments, etc.

Requires that the feature VSys Live: Advanced job signup restrictions and signup window rules be enabled.

Job signup restrictions are not part of the standard VSys Live implementation. In general, installing and configuring this option comes with an additional fee. See Advanced features for information.
