      Multiple Selections

      Bloomerang Volunteer holds on to your selection even when you remove filters. This means you can layer multiple selections and take action on different, filtered groups at the same time. 

      For example, click the Roles filter and select All. Next, remove that filter and search for another person who isn't in that role that you would like to select as well. You can then take action on that entire selection. You could add or remove roles for everyone in the filtered listed, or email everyone in the list.

      To clear your selection, click the Clear All Filters icon filters_clear.
