For a minor release, this one is quite major! There are no breaking changes or anything huge but some great improvements.

Match ALL or ANY on the Volunteer Search Page

On the volunteer search page, you can now select ALL or ANY as the matching criteria. This means you could search for volunteers that are a member of any of a set of groups, or that live in any of a set of postcodes for instance.

Not Checked Option When Filtering

When filtering on custom questions that are checkboxes you can now filter by these boxes not being checked. Previously as nothing is stored when a box is unchecked this was not possible.

Volunteer Action Log

A great new feature that allows admins to check what has been happening with a particular volunteer. Currently, it displays what opps they have viewed, when they have logged hours, joined sessions, and so on. We’ll be extended this with more logged actions in future releases

Create a PDF of Opportunities

Find the opportunities you want to include in the PDF, click their checkboxes and you can now print a nicely formatted PDF with an opportunity on each page.

You get a few options of what to include in the printout and a handy QR code is included so volunteers can find the opp quickly on your website.

Multiple LinkWide Group Membership

For those of you that are in a LinkWide sharing group (get in touch if this sounds like something you would be interested in), you can now join multiple groups, each with its own sharing ruleset.

Editing Existing Resources

You can now edit your existing resources…no need to delete and recreate which is a real-time saver. Additionally, you can also edit the order in which the resources appear.

Select Specific Map Location When Creating Opps

We’ve added back in the ability to move the map marker when creating opps with the new opp creation screens, jsut as you could when editing an opportunity.

Email All Providers from Opp Selection

Previous to this release, when you select a number of opportunities from the opp search page it was only possible to email all the volunteers on those opps. You can now also email all the providers who created those opps. This is great for chasing up providers who have outstanding volunteer applications for their opps for instance.

Improved Email Logging

The storage of the plain text version of sent emails has been improved so you won’t see all the HTML stuff when looking at a volunteer or provider email log anymore.

Better Upload Image Support

We can now support all modern web image formats including WEBP when you are uploading images anywhere in the app.

 

Over 50 smaller fixes and improvements have also been added which I hope will make you even more productive day to day.

As always, we are ready to take your feedback and questions in all the normal channels.
