| Can I use Volgistics anywhere, anytime? |
Top |
|
| Yes. You can work with
your volunteer records from anywhere you have an Internet connection - at the
office, on the road, from branch offices, in the field, or at home. Your
volunteer database is always up-to-date and at your fingertips. |
| Why don't I need to install any
software? |
Top |
|
| Instead of installing
software on your computer, you use the Volgistics system over the Internet
through your web browser. Volgistics operates from a centrally located, secure
data center. You don't need to worry about installing or maintaining any
software, or losing valuable data due to computer or human error: your data is
backed up for you, continually. New features are added automatically so you
never have to purchase or install software upgrades. |
| What type of computer do I need? |
Top |
|
| Any computer from which
you can access the Internet, and any popular web browser. You can use
Volgistics from either a PC or a Mac. See complete System
requirements. |
| Can more than one person use the system at a
time? |
Top |
|
| Yes. Each Volgistics
account comes with space for two different users, and you can add as many
additional users as you need. Each user can be in the system at the same time
as the other users. However, two different people cannot access the system at
the same time using the same Volgistics user login name. There is never any
limit to the number of volunteers who can access the system through
VicNet or VicTouch. |
| What kind of Internet connection do I
need? |
Top |
|
| You can access your
information from any computer that has any kind of Internet connection,
including dial-up connections and AOL. A high-speed Internet connection, such
as DSL, a cable modem, or T1 is recommended for locations where you'll access
Volgistics frequently (such as your office). |
| What happens if my Internet access is down?
|
Top |
|
| You can access your
information from any computer with an Internet connection. If your connection
to the Internet is down you will not be able to access your account until you
restore your connection, or move to a computer that has an Internet connection
available. See complete System requirements. |
| Does it work with IE7? |
Top |
|
| Yes, you can use
Volgistics with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5 and later, including IE7,
as well as other web browsers. See complete System
requirements. |
