The Volunteer Group List can be filtered for a few different
reasons. One is to narrow down the list by criteria to find specific records.
Another is to give you a count of Volunteer Groups, based on your selected
criteria.
As an example, if you wanted to know how many Volunteer Groups are
classified as work groups, you could select “Work Group” from the Group Category drop-down list. Click the
“Filter List” button. You will see the total
records label has changed above the list and gives you a total count of all
Volunteer Groups classified as work groups. The list has also changed, and
displays only Volunteer Groups classified as work groups.
To get started, select Volunteerism > Volunteer Groups - from the main menu on the left hand side.
This will open the volunteer group listing. To filter the list, click the “Filter List” button.
The Filter List panel
will open above the list...
Choose criteria to filter the list. Use as many of the filters as
you need, you can choose one or many items depending on how you would like to
narrow your results. Volunteer Groups can be filtered by:
- Group Status
- Group Category
- Departments/Chapters
- Districts
- Precincts (Select District First)
- Team Member Sponsor/Owner ID
- Date Start Range
Click the “Filter List” button and the list will display only the
Volunteer Groups that meet the selected criteria.
Filters are persistent, meaning even after viewing and or editing
a record, the filter you are using will still be in place when you come back to
the main list. You can reset the list by clicking the "Cancel Filter"
button.
You can also save your filters, to use again at a later time. After you
filter the list, open the filters menu by clicking the 
icon in the filter box. When the filter menu opens, choose “Save Filter”. This will bring
up the “Add A New Filter” window. Enter a name for the filter and click the
“Add This Filter” button. The window will close, and your filter will be saved. To load a filter at a later time, open the filters menu again but
this time choose “Load Filter.” A list of saved filters will be displayed.
Click the filter you want to load. The filter will be applied and your list
will display according to the filter criteria. To delete a filter, open the filters menu again but this time
choose “Delete Filter.” A list of saved filters will be displayed. Click the
filter you want to delete. The filter will be deleted, the filter box will
close and the list will be reset back to its original state.
