We are pleased to announce that we launched release 4.0 of eWebLife. This release includes a large number of enhancements across the eWebLife platform as well as introducing a new module, eForumLife. Below are the major release notes.

Notes and Match Notes

Notes enable you to add information about your “people” and organizations that you work with, to track sales opportunities, progress of projects, etc. Match Notes are designed for you to report on the progress of a match between two people, such as in the case of youth or employee mentoring.

We added the ability for Administrators to add their own Notes and Match Notes to a person record from the Admin -> Person -> Notes page, in addition to adding notes and match notes on behalf of a person.
The Supervisor(s) of a "Match Supervisor" will get automatically notified when a Match Note is posted by the Match Supervisor. (Match Supervisors automatically receive notifications of Match notes added by the match primary (e.g., Mentor) or secondary (e.g., Mentee) as well.)
The Admin –> Person –> Notes page automatically defaults to Notes added by or including this member”. You can filter to see notes added by the mentor, match notes, etc.
The Notes page now includes a preview of the content all notes, match notes, and organization notes consisting of the first 150 characters of the note, in addition to the note title.
Organizations that are added as a member of a note will now appear in the Members column of all notes screens.
Individuals who can view “your notes” can now view organization notes posted by you. In addition, you can also share organization notes with all Admins, or selected Admins that do not normally have access to view “your notes”.

Embed Codes

Embed codes allow you to embed a form (e.g., application, RSVP, Volunteering, Donation) onto your website, so that your “people” can sign up directly from your website. The embed code creator allows you to “colorize” the form to conform with your websites look and feel!

Added the ability to copy embed codes to save you time. Once you get the “right look and feel” with a form, you can copy and then modify it to meet the needs of new forms.

eConnectLife

eConnect is our module that combines the power of an email marketing tool with "ListServ" capabilities.

A date column has been added to the Bounce screen to indicate when an email bounce has occurred for respective emails. Additionally, the table that appears on this screen is now sorted by descending order of bounce dates by default.

RSVP

Our RSVP system enables you to allow people to sign up for free or paid events. You have the ability to invite your people to attend with personalized URLs for easy sign ups, send marketing email blasts, and a lot more.

We have improved our “missing information notifications” to facilitate accurate completion RSVPs, including notifications about completing your purchase for paid events.
A feature has been added to provide administrators with the ability to disable a ticket level. When a ticket level is disabled, it will become unavailable to the basic user, but still usable by the Admin(s). A disabled ticket level may be made available again by re-enabling it.
Provided the ability to edit tickets after they are active.
Ticket level computations have been modified. We have updated your RSVP's to accurately address the change.
Enhanced the RSVP Attendee search capability.
Added additional custom labeling for RSVP forms.

Knowing your “people” can provide you with the “business or ministry” intelligence to better serve your people, to increase sales, donations, volunteering, etc.

Enhanced People search to provide more targeted results (must match all words in search).
In Match History, the match member names are now links to the match member records.

Modified security logic to allow Match Supervisors to view themselves as the Match Supervisor when they do not belong to a restricted group and person type set.

RSVP reports have been enhanced to include Check Numbers (if paid) and Canceled status.
Added additional criteria of searching fields if a field is “Empty" or "Non-empty".

Applications

Applications can help you track the status of a potential customer, mentor, donor, job applicant, etc.

Modified the logic and process of handling references, so that you can return an application to an applicant to add or correct the email address of a reference, enabling you to use our automated reference system. In addition, an applicant can replace a reference, if needed.
