Short Description:
Content2Zero, with the help of Zivtech developed a web application for managing multiple groups volunteer assignments for synagogue services. Three versions of the complex data model for assignment Torah reading assignments is built into the back end.
Case Study:
Jewish religious services have a lot of parts. Many congregations or prayer groups do not hire professionals to prepare those parts. It's one thing to train the group's members in the skills needed to carry out these parts. Add to that keeping all the volunteers straight and the changing readings from week to week and you've got a nightmare waiting to be solved by a web application.
Highlights:
- Use of Organic Groups module to allow simultaneous implementations of the same software on the same site.
- Custom module for assigning jobs to to dates, Jewish calendar integration, and custom automated email notifications.
- Custom admin pages for volunteer coordinators.
- Flexible permissions.
- Group pages for groups to add their own content.
- Which parts and which Torah reading cycle configuration is done by end users on special configuration pages.
