Documents and Files and Attachments Oh My!
What's New
The File Manager -- At last you can upload your waivers, menus, instructions and more. Each of your files can be used for any piece of content in the site and can easily be re-used across multiple events or about pages. The new file manager is located under the Manage tab and shows you which files have been uploaded and instructions on how to include the file as part of your events' descriptions.
The Process for Logging Hours -- We have updated our Submit Hours page to include your most recent independent volunteer activities. We received great feedback from everyone about how volunteers were confused about where to go when they return to the site to log hours. Now, they're presented with both the company-sponsored events they took part in and the most recent IVAs so they can easily copy the information over when they volunteer again with the same organization.
Enhancements
Organization Picker -- We made a number of small refinements to the design of the organization picker (the thing you use to select an organization for an event or your IVA). The new design should help make it clearer when to select a nonprofit from the database, hand-enter an organization or select from one of your board memberships positions.
Active Events -- A small enhancement, but a good one nonetheless. On your My Page screen, events used to show up on your Upcoming Events up until midnight the day before the event. So, if you came into work looking for details about the event the morning of the event, you wouldn't see it there. That was confusing a lot of people. We extended that list of events to include all events through the end of the current day.
Coming Soon
File Manager Integration -- As of this release, you still have to a bit of copy-and-paste to get an uploaded file into the description of your events or about pages. Soon, you'll have a nice, easy-to-use button on the content editor itself where choosing an existing or uploading a new document can be done right in the content itself without having to leave the page and come back.
