Volunteer Management

The April 2022 release of Volunteer Management provides the following improvements:

Item How it worked before How it works now
Canceled/deactivated shifts and related participations Participations remained active even when the related shift was canceled or deactivated on the engagement opportunity. We added logic to the following sections to keep shifts and participation status aligned:
  • When a shift is canceled, all related participations under it are canceled automatically.
  • When a shift is deactivated, all related participations under it are canceled automatically.
  • When an engagement opportunity is updated from having shifts to not having shifts via the Shifts toggle and is saved, all active shifts are canceled together with the related active participations under it.
Shift date validation
  • It was possible to set shifts outside of the dates of the engagement opportunity.
  • The start date of the first shift of the engagement opportunity defaulted to 12:00 AM.
  • We updated the engagement opportunity’s start date format from "Date only" to "Date and time" in the background. The time is always set to 12:00 AM.
  • We updated the engagement opportunity’s end date format from "Date only" to "Date and time" in the background. The time is always set to 12:00 PM.
  • We updated the Multiple days toggle to be more aligned with the calendar. Now when the calendar is updated to cover multiple days, the Multiple days toggle immediately updates to On.
  • We added validations to saving shifts to ensure consistency between the shift and engagement opportunity dates.
  • We improved the Shift Details page with the engagement opportunity date details.
  • The time part of the start date and end date of the shift now defaults to the time set by the user in Personalization settings > Activities > Default work hours.
Closed/canceled engagement opportunity and new volunteers Previously, it was possible to add new volunteers to closed or canceled engagement opportunities. Now it's not possible to add more volunteers if the engagement opportunity is closed or canceled.
