Awards Coding

From the Awards Coding screen you can display a list of volunteers who have served enough hours to be eligible for an award. For each volunteer, the list shows total hours and years of service, date and hours of the last award, and the name of the award for which the volunteer is eligible. There is no way to recall an award once you have posted this screen.

The Awards Coding screen is the second step in the VSS Awards Management process. The entire process is as follows.

To display and process a list of volunteers eligible for an award

  1. From the Date of Award list, select a cutoff date. Hours served after this date will not count toward award eligibility at the next awards ceremony.
  2. For Include, click the radio button next to the age group you want on the report.
  3. For Show Terminated, select Yes to include terminated volunteers in the Awards Coding list; oherwise select No.
  4. Click Display.
  5. If there are any volunteers in the list who should not receive awards, click on their Give Awards checkbox in the far right-hand column. By default the checkbox is checked; unchecking it will prevent the volunteer from receiving the award.
  6. When you are ready to submit the entire list, click on the Post Awards button.
