The Leaders Module

The Leaders Module provides a flexible high level view of volunteers. Initially the grid displays only leaders with a Status of "Active", but other status values can be selected, such as "Inactive", or "Prospect". The toolbar buttons or right click pop-up menu items provide a wide range of actions such as setting a leader's Role Status, Team Color, or Team Name as well as approving the volunteer for leadership or marking training completed.

Ad-hoc reports can be created to analyze club data by using the powerful features of the grid. Records can be filtered, sorted, and grouped. Hide bands and/or columns and print or export the data.

While the Leaders Module works much like the Clubbers Module, there are a few differences. For example, the Leaders Module contains more than one grid, each displaying a different set of leader information such as Service and Training History, as well as Leadership Roles.

Most actions on this grid can be applied to multiple members using the multi-select ability.
