We are delighted to see more organisations decide to use our COVID community task app and we recently zipped past the 2000 completed task mark.

We have been responding to feedback and continuing to develop the application and functionality; the most recent additions are showcased below.

Remember if you want to enable the COVID community task features you can do this at anytime from your super admin options menu.

Push Notifications

Users of compatible devices and browsers will now receive push notifications when new tasks are created or when any actions that concern them directly are performed; task application updates and new task chat messages. Unfortunately, Apple iOS devices do not offer support for push notifications via progressive web apps. Apple iOS users will continue to receive notifications via email when their task status changes or chat messages are sent.

Password Reset

Volunteers can now reset their password directly from the app. They can enter their registered email address and will be sent a PIN which they can enter directly into the app and generate a new password.

Photo Upload

When logging in, if the volunteer does not yet have a profile picture uploaded, the app will ask them to upload one.

The volunteer can change their profile picture at anytime by tapping on the current photo.

ID Card and QR Code

We have added an ID card to the volunteer app so that if challenged when outside the volunteer can show some evidence that they have a valid reason for leaving their home. The included QR code when scanned confirms the volunteers photograph and current status.

Repeat Tasks

A volunteer can now enter a repeat task when completing an existing one. So if the recipient asks the volunteer if they can come back next week, they can record it and you can track it just like a regular task that you have added.

All the task details will be replicated, except the date and time and auto assigned to the volunteer.

Target Completion Date Shown

The target completion date is now shown on the assigned task list without having to tap to show the task details.
