When volunteer managers assign shifts, notifications aren’t sent right away. This gives admins more time to review and finalise changes before volunteers are notified.
Easily manage Expression of Interest, helping volunteer managers gauge volunteer interest in each opportunity prior to assigning volunteers and shifts.
Volunteer Managers can now easily view their volunteers’ details and upcoming shifts directly within each member’s profile, under the Details tab. This makes accessing volunteer information much easier.
Shift times will appear in the volunteer’s local time zone by default, with a time zone dropdown of your opportunity available if needed.
Be Collective is committed to ensuring the security of our users' data, and with that in mind we're excited to announce the introduction of multi-factor authentication (MFA) to our platform.
This helps to prevent fraudalent access by requiring you not only to know your username and password, but also have access to your mobile device before you can be logged in.

We're excited to announce the latest enhancement to our custom fields feature, which now allows you to export your group's custom fields data!
How do I export custom fields data?
As a Be Collective group manager, you can export your group's data through the Reports and Exports tab of your group management page, under Export data.
Simply select the Custom fields export type then click Download data to export your custom fields data in CSV format, which can be opened as a spreadsheet for analysis.
Long-time Be Collective users will notice we've also improved the entire data export interface, making the export process quicker and more intuitive. We've also added links to relevant Help Centre articles for each export type so you can easily learn more about what each export file contains.
More information on how to export your group's data can be found in Be Collective's Help Centre here.
If you have have any questions or feedback on Be Collective's custom fields functionality, please contact our friendly support team at help@becollective.com.
We're excited to announce that we've already enhanced our new custom fields feature with a data import wizard! This makes bulk uploads of data for your existing members to your group's custom fields quick and easy.
How do I upload custom fields data?
An upload template file is provided for your convenience with your group's custom fields and members already included. To begin, simply download this template, add the data you'd like to import, save as a CSV file and upload this file in the first step of the import wizard.
The second step of the import wizard gives you the opportunity to match the columns in your data file to your custom fields. This is particularly useful if you choose to upload your own data (for instance, an exported file from another platform) Any columns that match the names of your custom fields are matched automatically.
Once you've matched your file columns, you can then verify your data. This allows you to correct any errors immediately instead of updating and re-uploading your data file. Once you've verified your data, all you need to do is click 'Next' to upload it!
More information on how to upload data to your custom fields can be found in Be Collective's Help Centre here.
If you have have any questions or feedback on Be Collective's custom fields functionality, please contact our friendly support team at help@becollective.com.
