You can now save the filters, columns, and column sort orders you apply as a custom view, so you can return to specific segments of volunteers later without rebuilding them. You can also bookmark views, create folders of views, and make a view your default to quickly access the views you use the most.

You can now reorder columns more quickly from a condensed column screen instead of dragging columns on the Volunteers list.

On the Volunteers list, you can now pin columns, hide columns, and expand the content of all rows in the list.

To make switching between common views easier, the All Volunteers, Pending Applications, and Rejected Applications views all appear directly on the Volunteers list instead of in a drop-down list.

The Search bar now prioritizes volunteer first names, last names, and email addresses.

In the Take Action drop-down list, Customize no longer appears in the Export to .CSV options. Instead, you can now build a custom view first and then export all the columns or only the columns currently displayed.

In the Export to .CSV bulk action, the Current Columns Displaying and All Columns options now send the download option to your account email address instead of downloading to your device immediately.

In general, the Volunteers page has a refreshed design that includes text on all buttons instead of only icons for some, renamed buttons (for example, Add Volunteers instead of + volunteers), minor layout changes, and updated Bloomerang Volunteer colors for some interface elements.

You can now make changes to multiple filters or columns at the same time without saving each one separately.

When you add or change filters, a section appears on the Volunteers list that you can expand and collapse to view all active filters without opening the entire filters list.

When you select all volunteers to take a bulk action, you can now choose to apply the action to every volunteer that matches your current filter or to the volunteers on the current page only.

You can now connect filters using And or Or both for filters with multiple options and for views with more than one filter. And shows volunteers who match all the selected criteria; Or shows volunteers who match any of them. For example, when you select a Qualifications filter, you can choose to show volunteers with both Standard First Aid and CPR Level C, or volunteers with either one. The same logic applies across multiple filters.

To make tracking recent recruitment easier, all date-based filters include three new options: In the Last, Matches, and Between Matches. In the Last includes results in the last X number of days, weeks, months, or years. Select Matches or Between Matches to specify years, months, or days (you do not need to specify all three time units).

Show signed-up volunteers is part of the Signup Workflow settings and appears during the shift selection step for an opportunity when enabled. It doesn't change the public shift preview or what volunteers see after they sign up.

Volunteers can view who else is signed up or on the waitlist for a shift when they open the details for a shift.

The setting is disabled by default, so nothing changes for your volunteers until you enable it for an opportunity.

The Signed Up and Waitlist lists order volunteers alphabetically by first name and show how many volunteers are scheduled compared to the number of available spots.

Number-based groups show the number of spots their signup claims for the shift.

When a volunteer edits a shift they already signed up for, a You tag marks their own row on whichever list they're on, so they can find themselves quickly.

On longer lists, a search box appears so volunteers can find a specific person without scrolling.

Automatic connection setup with Bloomerang CRM. For organizations new to the Bloomerang Giving Platform that have Bloomerang CRM along with Bloomerang Fundraising, Bloomerang Volunteer, or both, the products now connect automatically during onboarding. You no longer need to create and enter an API key yourself to link them.

Syncing between Bloomerang Volunteer and Bloomerang CRM. In Bloomerang Volunteer, on the Platform Settings page, the Automatic Sync and Sync New Volunteers settings are turned on by default, so your data begins flowing without any manual setup.

Connection restoration with Bloomerang CRM. If the credentials become invalid for the platform connection between Bloomerang CRM and Bloomerang Fundraising or Bloomerang Volunteer, Bloomerang now restores the connection automatically to prevent delays in your data flow.

The Opportunity Schedule now defaults to a Today & Upcoming Six Months view, so it loads faster instead of pulling every shift at once. This view shows all shifts within six months (roughly 182 days) of today, across the Scheduled Shifts, Scheduled Roles, and Scheduled Volunteers views (list and calendar).

Select the new Beyond Six Months filter to see all shifts scheduled after that window.

All existing date-range filter options (Past Dates, All Dates, and Custom Date Range) work the same as before.

Date-range filter views are available to Opportunity Manager, Role Manager, and Event Manager administrators on the Opportunity-level schedule.

On the organization-level Opportunities table, the Current filter is now called Status and gives you more control over which opportunities appear.

You can now filter to show current, upcoming, or past opportunities, or combinations of opportunities: current and upcoming, current and past, or past and upcoming.

Applying a filter shows the total number of matching opportunities, and you can clear any filter to return to the full list.

Generate and manage a public API key directly in Bloomerang Volunteer, so you can connect to the tools you use without contacting Bloomerang Support.

The Bloomerang icon now opens a menu you can use to view or manage:

The Help menu now includes the following options:

The language selector moved into the Profile menu, so your account and language settings live in one place.

The Bloomerang CRM platform connection settings now appear on the new Platform Settings page instead of the Integrations page, as it is a Bloomerang Giving Platform connection. For easier navigation, the page is organized into sections for Sync Controls, Sibling Organizations, Activity Logs, and Authorization.

A new Verified First tile gives you a quick way to learn more about background checks for your volunteers in Bloomerang Learning.

The Form & Profile Fields page now shows whether form questions are turned on or off for your organization or opportunity. It also has a shortcut you can click to go directly to form question controls in the signup workflow.

On the Opportunity Dashboard, Recruitment & Signup tiles in the Opportunity Summary are now clickable, so you can go directly to the recruitment and signup settings you need. This navigation is not available for Role Managers.

All opportunity-level pages now have a Return to Organization button in the side navigation menu so you can return to the Organization Dashboard from any page.

Organization and Opportunity Managers can now add or replace an organization or opportunity logo on the Public Page Design page. Click Logo in the Public Page Toolbox, or click the logo in the Public Page Preview. Direct-click editing is not available for Role Managers.

Respectively, the new Controls and Settings menu categories separate administrative tasks into more static system behaviors or more immediate, interactive configurations.

Certain features are easier to find on new opportunity-level pages including Documents, Public Information, and Private Information, as well as the Time Tracking page (organization-level and opportunity-level).

The Embed Opportunities button is now on the main Opportunities page.

We moved settings (such as an opportunity's Logo, Key Information, and Documents) from the old Recruitment page to the specific areas where they are managed. These changes make registration setup easier for both organizations and opportunities.

The Manage Senders and Authenticate Domains pages are now tertiary tabs on one combined Email Configurations page.

The Roles & Qualifications and Reports & Imports pages are now separated into individual pages for clearer management.

Application periods are now independent of visibility settings. The Signup Button State now automatically deactivates when an application period ends.

New Update shortcut links allow managers to go directly between related pages (for example, from a signup error to the General settings needed to fix it).

Managers can now import Tags, Categories, and Language Strings directly from the main Imports page within Settings. All tag and language imports now appear in the import history table.

For tag imports, the Import from .CSV button is now nested in the + Categories button drop-down list.

Bloomerang Volunteer now triggers warnings for scheduling conflicts if availability is not being collected while rostering is active.

Document upload fields now display maximum file sizes and trigger error messages for oversized files.

On the Opportunities page, the filters have the following updates:

Organization managers can now turn on or turn off two-factor authentication (2FA) for an organization. When enabled, managers can "Trust this device" for 30 days. Note that 2FA applies only to managers and does not apply to volunteer-only users.

If Bloomerang Volunteer states that a password reset link expired, you can now request a new link from the error page to save time.

To enhance security, the maximum number of failed login attempts is now 5 (previously 20).

If locked out due to failed login attempts, the lockout period is now 15 minutes.

Managers are now logged out after four hours of inactivity. If you are active in another Bloomerang product linked to your account through SSO, your session will stay active.

The maximum session length for managers is now 24 hours (previously 48).

If one volunteer is locked out of their account on a device, other volunteer users can now log in on the same device from the login, organization, or opportunity pages.

The login, password, and claim account pages for managers have branding and design updates.

The admin login pages now have the same footer as the volunteer login pages.

The volunteer login and password pages now feature the signature Bloomerang Volunteer product colors.

When you click the language selector on manager and volunteer login pages, the languages appear in a drop-down list instead of a dialogue box.

When messaging volunteers, you can now insert volunteer login links that automatically open the login page in any of Bloomerang Volunteer's supported languages.

Links added to registration form questions now automatically function as hyperlinks. This update applies to both new and existing forms to ensure volunteers can easily access external resources.
