+ | **Volunteer Management System (VMS)** | ||
+ | The Volunteer Management System gathers together and customises functionality from other parts of Sahana and provides them in the form of a single module so that it is easier to manage volunteers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The main menu of VMS consists of: | ||
+ | - Projects | ||
+ | - Teams | ||
+ | - Person | ||
+ | - Skill Types | ||
+ | - My Tasks | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The above categorization is on the basis of the tools required to assist with common needs for managing volunteers. The interface is mainly intended for use by someone managing volunteers but can also be used by a volunteer to enter and view their own information. Besides the five options in the menu, VMS also consists of menus which come up on selection of entities from either of Projects, Teams , and Persons menu in the form of <Menu: Entity Name> next to the parent menu option in the menu bar. These new menus, show the available operations that can be applied on the entities selected and displayed in the menu name. | ||

+ | Projects is used to list and create projects. Projects are assimilation of tasks. Creation of a project allows us to enlist the staff and assign tasks to the registered volunteers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Teams is used to create and list teams aka groups. Selection of a team from the list of teams leads to further more features for teams such as editing the details regarding a team e.g. address data, contact, and membership. There is also the “Map Team” and the “Send Mail” function. | ||
+ | Map Team displays the location of the individual members of the selected team on a map. | ||
+ | It shows the most recent presence location of the volunteers or the address if the volunteer does not have a presence log. Send Mail, sends the message to each member of the team. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Persons is used to create and list individual volunteers. On selecting a volunteer from the list, one would get options for Volunteer Data, Person Data, View Map, and Send Mail respectively. | ||
+ | Volunteer Data consists of volunteering specific data such as availability, | ||
+ | |||
