Permission required: Voice Parts & Functions – Manage voice parts & functions

What is this?

Ensemble functions describe who has which task in the choir. Chorilo comes with these standard functions:

  • Member
  • First Chairperson
  • Second Chairperson
  • Treasurer
  • Secretary
  • Board Member
  • Choir Director
  • Music Librarian
  • Public Relations
  • Event Organization
  • Technical

You can also create your own functions, for example “Soprano section leader”.

How to create your own functions

  1. Click Ensembles in the sidebar, pick your choir and then Choir settings.
  2. Select Voices & roles. The Ensemble Functions list is there, with the standard functions and your own.
  3. Click Add Ensemble Function, enter the Function Name and confirm.
  4. Use the ··· menu on one of your own functions to choose Rename or Delete. A function that members currently hold cannot be deleted. Standard functions can't be renamed or deleted, but they can be hidden.

Hide functions

Every function in the list has a switch, the standard functions as well as your own. Turn it off if your choir doesn't use a function. It is then marked Hidden and disappears from every selection list on the web and in the app: when adding a member, when assigning a function and in the visibility of events, announcements, folders and chats.

  • Members who already have the function keep it, and it is still shown.
  • Member can't be hidden.
  • If you rename a hidden function of your own, it stays hidden.
  • Use the switch to show it again at any time.

Assign functions to members

  1. Open the member under Members.
  2. Switch to the Roles tab.
  3. Click Add function, choose the Ensemble Function and enter From and optionally Until.
  4. Click Add.

Use the menu on a function to choose End function, Edit or Delete. Ended functions stay in the list with their period. When you create a member, you can pick a first ensemble function straight away.

Where functions are shown

  • Member list: Ensemble Function column and filter under More filters
  • Member profile: Roles tab
  • Files: folder permissions can also be granted to an ensemble function
  • Events: events can be limited to specific functions

Function and permission group

Permission

Creating, renaming and deleting your own functions, and hiding or showing functions: Manage voice parts & functions. Assigning functions to a member: Create & edit members.

Tips

  • Keep the list short. Hide standard functions your choir doesn't need. That keeps the selection lists tidy.
  • Use End function instead of deleting a function when someone steps down. That way the history is kept.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a function and a permission group?▾
The ensemble function describes the task in the choir, for example Music Librarian. The permission group defines what someone may do in Chorilo. Functions only affect access where they are explicitly chosen: in folder permissions under Files and in the visibility of individual events.
Can a member have several functions?▾
Yes. In a member's **Roles** tab you add as many functions as you like, each with a start and an optional end.
Who sees the functions?▾
Everyone who sees the member list: it appears there in the **Ensemble Function** column and can be filtered under **More filters**.
Can I remove standard functions?▾
They can't be deleted, but they can be hidden. Under **Voices & roles**, turn off the switch on the function. It then disappears from every selection list, and members who have it keep it.
