Platform Update – March 25 Release

Improvements & Enhancements

Destinations

• Improved layout and consistency on Destination detail pages by removing duplicate section headers and standardizing font sizes, formatting, and overall structure for a cleaner, more cohesive user experience.

Program Management

• Enhanced visibility on the Program Management page by adjusting column layouts to better fit standard (100%) zoom levels. This ensures key actions—such as menu options—remain fully visible and accessible without requiring horizontal scrolling or zooming out.

• Enhanced Program Membership visibility for administrators, allowing Organization Administrators and Registrars to view all program registrations for a specific family across the organization.

• From this view, administrators can take actions such as Confirm or Withdraw, making it easier to coordinate placements (e.g., ensuring siblings are registered in the same program) and manage participation more effectively.

Facilities

• Aligned formatting between Facility creation and edit views, ensuring consistent text fields and formatting options across both experiences.

• Improved facility user setup workflow by defaulting newly approved users to Active status, allowing them to book immediately without requiring an additional step.

• Resolved an issue with parent-child facility data syncing, ensuring that contacts and users are properly inherited when creating or updating child facilities.

• Resolved an issue when copying child facilities, ensuring the parent facility selection is correctly retained and carried over during the duplication process.

• Added seasonal availability controls for facilities, allowing administrators to define opening and closing dates. This enables automatic disabling of public bookings during off-season periods.

Organizations

• Resolved an issue with photo galleries on Organization detail pages, ensuring that images uploaded to the Photos section now automatically populate in the public gallery as expected.

• Added a LinkedIn field to Organization profiles, expanding social media and contact options within the Organization details page.

Equipment Management (Major Enhancement)

• Introduced organization-level customization for Equipment Types, significantly expanding flexibility within the Equipment module.
  Organizations can now:

• Select equipment types from a master list and fully customize them for their organization

• Define pricing models, including per-day rental rates and flat fees

• Add images and detailed descriptions specific to their inventory

• Configure suggested paired equipment (e.g., prompting users to add a helmet when booking a bike)

• Enhanced visibility of the “Submit Loan Request” action by updating the button styling to a prominent green, making it clearer that submission is required to complete the request.

• This update enables a highly customizable and scalable approach to equipment management, tailored to each organization’s needs.

What’s New & Where to Find Updates

• A scrolling marquee on the website highlights timely updates with a blue, clickable link that scrolls from right to left. Depending on relevance, the marquee may link to community announcements, newsletters, or platform release notes—making important information easy to find.

• Release notes (like these) are published regularly and are always available under the “Info” tab on the website.

Why This Matters

This release focuses on improving consistency, reducing administrative friction, and unlocking deeper customization for organizations. From cleaner page layouts and more intuitive workflows to powerful new equipment configuration options, these updates help communities better manage their assets while providing a smoother experience for users.
