Updates to reports
Playing favorites
Do you find yourself wishing you could favorite the reports you love most so they’d appear at the top of your page? Well…now you can! Goodbye digging through reports and hello favorite stars!
Seek and find
We heard you wished for an easier way to find reports—so, we added a search feature! Plug in the name of the report you want and get the reporting needs you’re after!
- Bonus! We included a Quick Stats bar so you can review those figures before diving into the details.
New look
Things might look a little different around here, but we think you’re going to love the updates! We have updated the look of the reports page, including Data Explorer reports so you can quickly find the data you need!
Adding Shifts to Your Calendars
You wanted more calendar options for volunteer shift opportunities—we got you! Now you and your volunteers can create calendar events for opportunities with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Office 365, and Apple Calendar when responding to an opportunity on your site!
P.s. Thanks to the 10+ admins who posted this suggestion in the forum so we could implement it—you rock!
Text Message Opt-In
We heard you wanted an easier and faster way to validate mobile numbers and opt-in for text messaging on your site—and, we listened! We’ve changed the text-message opt-in and validate feature. Now, new users are prompted to opt in when adding their mobile phone number to the registration form, while current users can opt in from their profile page.
After they enter their number and check the box beside Send me texts from this site, they receive a text that says “Thanks for signing up for the text notifications from [name of site]. Reply YES to confirm that you want to receive texts from us.” They must reply YES to validate their number and start receiving your texts. (Goodbye extra step with a validation code!)

App Updates
We’ve fixed several known bugs with the app and made some updates to help you and your volunteers get the most out of this feature!
Fixed Bugs
- Don’t have any response questions? No problem! If no response questions are present, then the Response Questions section isn’t available.
- The screen now automatically updates when a user makes a change in the Search area—so long manual refresh!
- We removed the “00000” on needs cards for virtual needs.
- Users can now see the correct list of user groups when adding hours or checking in!
Notification Update
We are always trying to make notifications easier for you and your volunteers! We updated the language in two notifications: Invitation to Join a Team and Invitation to Join a Site and Team. These changes will make it easier for your volunteers to join the Team and start volunteering. Although we have updated the language in the notification, you can always go in and edit them however you want.
To make sure that you are using the most up-to-date version of these notifications, go to your Notifications page and click the thumbs up icon to update your notification. If you don’t see a thumbs up, that means your notification is already up to date!
