Features & Enhancements:
Event Mode
We've introduced a new activity type designed for multi-day events such as festivals, camps and conferences. When creating an activity, select the 'Event' type to define an activity that runs over one or more days.
Volunteers joining an event activity are presented with a session picker, allowing them to select the dates and sessions they would like to attend. Depending on the activity's roster settings, volunteers are either rostered immediately or their availability is submitted for a manager to finalise.
Key details:
Event activities support multiple dates, configured as a date range or individually picked dates
A roster template is automatically created for each event date with all sessions
Volunteers see a visual date and session picker when joining, with options to 'Confirm & Roster' or 'Confirm Availability'
Volunteers can also choose 'Skip for now' and select their dates later
See Activities - Event Mode for more.
Activity Creation Wizard
We've added a step-by-step wizard for creating activities. The wizard guides you through six steps:
Activity Type - choose from Regular, Once-Off, Flexible or Event
Details - set the activity name, program, description, location and tags
Schedule & Sessions - configure start date, frequency and sessions
Privacy & Team - set joining policy (require approval or open) and roster type (managed or open)
Add Team - search and invite volunteers directly, and assign Activity Leaders
Review & Create - review a summary and configure advanced options
Volunteers added during the 'Add Team' step are automatically enrolled and receive an enrolment notification email when the activity is created.
You can switch between the new 'Steps' view and the existing 'List' view at any time without losing your progress.
Bookable Time Slots
Event tasks now support volunteer self-booking. When editing an event task, toggle 'Volunteer Self-Booking' to allow volunteers to choose from available time slots you define.
Booking configuration includes three areas:
Weekly Availability - set the days and hours volunteers can book, with a configurable slot duration (15 minutes to 4 hours)
Individual Time Slots - add one-off booking slots for specific dates, each with their own capacity, location, assigned managers and instructions
Default Settings - set a default max capacity, timezone, location, managers and message applied to all auto-generated slots
Volunteers see a 'Choose a Time' view grouped by date, with available spots displayed for each slot. Once selected, they confirm their booking with a single click.
Managers can also configure whether slots are at a specific location or remote/virtual, with space for a meeting link or phone number.
Volunteer Database
We've added several new options to the simplified Volunteer Database:
Attendance Records - toggle on to include a separate attendance CSV in your export, with date range filtering. Exports are delivered as a ZIP file containing both the volunteer data and attendance records
Exclusive Program Filter - when filtering by program, enable 'Exclusive' to show only volunteers enrolled in the selected programs and no others
Export-Only Fields - Volunteer ID and Profile ID can now be included in exports via toggles under the 'Include in export' section
New Optional Columns - Total Attendances, Attendance Records, Waitlistings and Applications are now available as toggleable columns
Fixes:
Form builder now correctly handles form-specific field types (multiple choice, dropdown, checkbox) when adding, duplicating and reordering options
Resolved an issue where duplicate form items could appear when grouped items were present
Delete confirmation in the field editor now resets when opening a different field, preventing stale state from a previous edit
Hidden tabs in the volunteer profile dialog are now displayed as disabled rather than removed, giving managers visibility of all available tabs
