We just released an update that makes significant changes to scheduling inside Volgistics. You can still schedule volunteers like you’ve always done, but we’ve made it much easier to use schedule openings, since they are usually a better way to manage the schedule in Volgistics. Here are just a few of the advantages of using

VicNet Beta Now Open!
As you may know, we’ve been working hard on a new version of VicNet. After a successful closed beta period with a relatively small group of accounts, we’re ready to open up the new version for everyone! It is still a beta release, which means it’s pretty close to how the final version will look
New Features: Updated Email Editor and More Rich Text
We recently overhauled the editor we use for email messages, making formatting apply more consistently and making it easier to include images and placeholders. Along with this, we added the editor to many other places in Volgistics that were previously limited to just plain-text, like volunteer notes, instruction fields for your application forms, and Assignment

New Data Export Feature
Volgistics is a cloud-based system so there may be times you’d like to move information to your local system. This can be handy if you lose internet service, need to reference information that has changed in your account, or import Volgistics information into another program or application. We’ve added a new feature to make exporting

New Volgistics Feature: Attach Multiple Files to an Email

We are excited to announce that you can now allow prospective volunteers to opt-in for text messaging when they fill out an application form.

Volgistics Update: Automatic Height for Embedded Forms
Embedding an application form into one of your webpages makes the form appear as part of your own website. The downside to this approach has always been that the form often includes a scrollbar, or it requires you to manually figure out and set the height in your HTML code. But the height can change

New: Restore Deleted App Forms
We’ve released an update to allow deleted application forms to be recovered for up to 5 days from the date they were deleted. The Volgistics’ application form feature allows you to receive information from potential volunteers that will automatically populate a volunteer record in your account. You can audit forms you receive before a record
Help System Update
We’ve made some significant improvements to our help system. While this won’t change the rapid response time from the support team, or the accuracy or completeness of their answers, it does change how you’ll interact with them. First, when you log into Volgistics, you’ll notice that the menu has changed slightly. Instead of “Help”, you’ll
