VSys One: Volunteer Management Software

Show

Search fields

What fields should the user be shown to search by? Date range, Job, Job group, Location, Statuses, Time range, Volunteer or supervisor names. The last is the most interesting: consider the case where your information desk needs to find where a volunteer is stationed, or whether they're scheduled at all. If they have this field, they can type in "Doe" and see the schedules of anyone named Doe or any assignment or slot supervised by someone with that name.

Name display format

Controls how a volunteer's name is displayed; use "John D." for example to show the volunteer's first name but only the last initial.

Allow users to add comments to

Assignments, Check in record and Slots: If any of these are checked, any user who can see these items can add comments to them,.

Default months in future

Sets the default End date to this many months past the current date.

Show results in calendar format

Checking this shows results using a navigable calendar format. See calendar results for options on how calendars can be rendered in VSys Live.

Show volunteer names in calendar item headers

Checking this shows the volunteer name in the header (the immediately visible portion) of an item on the calendar.

Include bookmarkable hyperlink

If checked, after any search, this shows a hyperlink at the bottom of the page. That hyperlink can be saved as a bookmark for future use: it will load the settings you've provided here.

Only items supervised by the current user

Normally VSys Live shows all of the assignments, slots, etc. that meet your criteria above. Checking this limits the results to those which have the Supervisor property the same as the current user.

After assignment start, show slot assignments independently of slot

Normally when job slots are shown, the assignments within them are not visible individually. If this is checked, when the slot's start time has passed, the assignments within that slot will all show individually.

Allow cancellation of assignments

Check this to allow users to cancel assignments on behalf of the volunteers.

(various calendar settings)

See VSys Live calendar results for how these work.

Specific jobs

If any jobs are checked here, only slots with these jobs will be returned.
