Support qualifications checking on Job Signup

[davidhabib]

Since many organizations have various rules about who is qualified to sign up for a given job, it would be great if Volunteers could support this in a general way.

Idea:

• each Job has an optional Contact Boolean Field to test
• the admin can use formula fields or checkbox fields to define their qualifications
• after the contact lookup, we test their qualifcation field, and give an error if the contact field is false.
• would need to have some way for the org to specify what message they want given to the person signing up, so it isn't cryptic.

Franklin Joyce suggests doing this with a multiselect field on Job (or shift?) and on Contact. To sign up a contact for a given job, the contact's picklist must contain all of the values in the Job (shift?) picklist. if fails, then display error text that is specified on job (or shift?).

But one could do this with validation rules that don't require this infrastructure in V4S. Check out issue #160 for details.

I'm hesitant to lurch this if there is a simple way to configure using validation rules. Thoughts?

agreed. let them use a validation rule.
