Opportunity Page

To open an opportunity page on the Bloomerang Volunteer mobile app, the opportunity must be live. To make opportunities live, read Go Live

When you select an opportunity that is live, the opportunity page opens. Tap the tiles to send a broadcast or to access the volunteer list, master schedule, schedule problems, or messages.

On the Volunteer List page, you can search for volunteers from all the volunteers in your opportunity. By default, volunteers appear alphabetically. But, if you tap the arrow icon and select Filter List, you can filter volunteers in a number of ways.

On the Volunteer List page, you can also tap the arrow icon to add a volunteer or send a broadcast to the list of volunteers for that opportunity.

Master Schedule

Tap the Master Schedule tile to view the scheduled shifts for an opportunity. You can view shifts within a three-month period before or after the current date.

For example, if a manager or administrator views the master schedule on April 10, they can view shifts from January 10 to July 10.

The Master Schedule page also shows the role, venue, location, and time for each shift. If you need more details for a shift, tap that shift. You can also filter the master schedule using the arrow icon .

Schedule Problems

The Schedule Problems tile shows the number of scheduling issues for that opportunity. For more details about the scheduling issues, tap the tile.

Broadcast

You can send a broadcast in a few different ways. We recommend tapping the Send a Broadcast tile on the opportunity page.

You can send a broadcast to:

  • Your entire volunteer list
  • A group of people within the volunteer list, such as supervisors or managers
  • A filtered list of volunteers, selected from the arrow icon

Note: Broadcasts are sent in-app to all selected recipients. 

If any of the selected recipients do not have the mobile app installed, they receive the broadcast as an SMS.

If any of the selected recipients haven't downloaded Bloomerang Volunteer or provided a mobile phone number, they receive the message as an email.

Messages

The Messages tile shows the number of messages received about that opportunity. To read the messages, tap the tile.
