View : Volunteer List

The Volunteer List is a view that shows a complete list of the volunteers that have been added to the system.

The Volunteer List view is designed to support the ability to manage the volunteers. This includes the ability to locate volunteers so that they can be deleted or modified. Filtering of the volunteer list is also supported.

By default, the Volunteer List will be displayed on the upper left corner of the workbench. To open it, select the menu: Windows -> Volunteer List

Now that the Volunteer List is visible, it may be used to perform actions on the available volunteers.

The Volunteer List view is a sorted list of volunteers showing the last name, then first and middle name. The top bar of the window contains a set of buttons (Edit and Delete) and a menu. A context menu (a menu that appears when right clicking on the Volunteer List area) is also provided.

As mentioned the list view allows Editing and Deleting of volunteers. By default when nothing is selected, the Edit and Delete action (menu, context menu and toolbar buttons) are disabled (grayed out). Select a volunteer by clicking (single click) on the volunteer's name. The actions will now be enabled.

    4. Press the Enter key.
