Video: Coaching Corner

Connect Form
  • Enhanced Login instructions to clarify that authenticating allows a User to skip the email verification step. 
  • Enhanced "Other" Need Type to allow a more detailed explanation up to 255 characters.
  • Enhanced the confirmation messaging for unauthenticated Users who complete a Connect Form to clarify that further action is required
  • Enhanced 'I Need Help' Connect Form submissions to prevent the creation of duplicate Needs. Duplicate is defined as a Need which matches another incomplete Need for the same User, Need Type, and same Need Campaign. 
  • Fixed an issue where duplicate Needs were created if a User followed their confirmation link multiple times. 
Connect Board
  • Enhanced actions presented when Provider claims a Need to display both "My Assignments" and "View Connect Board" buttons. 
  • Enhanced Connect Board instructions to guide Providers toward claiming Needs. 
  • Fixed an issue where the Connect Board would return an error if all Accounting Company records were configured as Current Settings = False. 
  • Fixed an issue where Need Provider records were created for authenticated Users who visited the Connect Board without completing an 'I Can Help' form. 
My Assignments
  • Enhanced My Assignments instructions to guide Providers toward completing or declining their assigned Needs. 
  • Enhanced Notes instructions to guide Providers toward adding notes. Clarified that any notes added to a Need will remain with the Need even if that Need is declined and later assigned to another Provider. 
  • Enhanced My Assignments to clarify when no Needs have been assigned. 
  • Enhanced page headers to appear more consistently throughout application. 
  • Fixed an issue where the Connect Board was referred to as the "Need Board" in some messaging. 
  • Fixed an issue where some Provider actions were mistakenly labeled "Cancel". All Provider oriented actions now reference "Decline" for un-assigning a Need. 
  • Fixed an issue where the success message presented when a Provider declined a Need contained extra spacing. 
Configuration / Security
  • *New* Need Type "Other" can now be hidden from a Campaign when Allow Other Need Types = False. 
  • *New* The URL can now be filtered to pre-select or restrict the application to a specific Connect Form using parameters mode and showmode. 
  • Enhanced the confirmation link emailed to unauthenticated Users to now be valid for 72 hours before expiring. 
  • Fixed an issue where "Log Out" was referred to as "Log Off" in some messaging.
