New Features and Enhancements 🚀

• Donation Failure Handling
  • Description: Donation collection attempts are now capped at 3. If the payment method on file fails to go through, the site will try 2 more times until abandoning the donation charge.
  • How to Use: The user will get a notification each time the donation payment fails. The max number of notifications a user can receive will be 3 before the donation is cancelled.
• Security - ReCaptcha
  • Description: Add Member forms will now contain a ReCaptcha question to curb spam/bot activity.
  • How to Use: When filling out the add member forms, users will be required to complete  a simple question indicating they are a legit user, in the form of a checkbox.

Improvements and Bug Fixes 🧰

• Ticketed Event Download: Users that go to download from dashboard view of a ticketed event will be presented with a receipt-type document. This document has been adjusted to provide relevant information and fields that were redundant have been removed.
• Google Plus Code Fix: Google Plus Codes no longer change after saving/updating an event.
• Sunset User Profile: User Profile is no longer available in Classic View. To view the user profile, you must do so in New View.
• Badge Manage Button: Admins who create badges can now navigate to the admin panel for that badge from the Badge page via the added “Manage” button.

Tips and Best Practices💡

• Sequential Badges
  • Is a badge is in progress and contains sequential tasks, the tasks must be completed in order. If additional tasks are later added in the middle, then any hours submit to the badge will not be counted until the additional tasks are completed. 

Frequently Asked Questions ✏️

• Q: Why am I seeing a custom field column in the manage impacts section of the admin panel if that custom field is not present in the impact form for an event that my group publishes?
  • Answer: Even if an organizational custom field is removed from an event, the admin panel view will still show that custom field column as it is active in other events. We recommend using configure layout to display/hide columns based on your preference.
