Welcome to week two of our pre-release introductions to the new features coming in TeamKinetic 1.4.

This week we will be focusing on the new features in the add opportunity page and when searching for opportunities.

Adding a New Opportunity

When your admins or providers add a new opportunity they will now be given an immediate choice of whether they wish to create a complete or a quick advert opportunity.

If they choose the quick opportunity type they will be presented with a much reduced option list for the opportunity. This is aimed at people that either don’t have much idea of what the final opportunity details will be, but want to get on and start recruiting, or for those organisations that will probably be managing the post sign up process themselves.

The resulting opportunity will be a flexible opp that is set to start immediately and will run continuously.

Once created the provider and admins will have full control over the opportunity and can add further details, or convert to a session based opportunity at anytime.

We have also updated and we hope simplified adding sessions to an opportunity. We’ve taken out some of the confusing language around the types of opportunities you can add and instead just asked them to make a choice between an opportunity with sessions and a flexible opportunity without sessions.

If a user picks the session based opportunity they can then choose a recurring session structure or can add the sessions individually.

Searching Existing Opportunities

For 1.4 we have a great new set of features for searching and filtering opportunities.

You’ll notice straight away that this is very different from our previous opportunity search page!

You can now page through the results, add filters, download the results and perform bulk actions on the opportunities by clicking the checkboxes at the start of each row.

This type of search table will be appearing throughout the application in future version and is already implemented for volunteer and provider searching complete with custom field filtering.

We will be running a Facebook live session at 2pm on Tuesday 8th October going through these new features and answering questions.
