Web App	We improved the tabbed navigation naming in the Foodbank Manage Membership Section of the Web App			✓	C3-5022
Food Net Membership	We have fixed an automated mail recipient error where a FoodBank invites an Org to join their FoodNet.

Food Net Membership	We’ve made an improvement to the ‘Join a Food Net’ user experience. A loading message will now appear to users to alert them the system is working to retrieve the relevant branches that are eligible to apply as a member of the food net in question.	✓	✓	✓	C3-4649
Registration Process	We have improved the welcome email that newly onboarded users receive if they have registered on Foodiverse via a custom link given to them by a Foodbank. Now the welcome the email no longer instructs the user to join a foodnet and this is because the user in this case will be automatically added to the Foodbank’s foodnet to be approved by the Foodbank admin.	✓	✓		C3-5237
Email Notifications	We have made design improvements to the emails that users receive from Foodiverse.	✓	✓	✓	C3-5033

Category	Update	Donor	Charity	Food Net	Reference
Mobile App	There was a bug on the Flutter mobile app where the Active Donations panel was not refreshing automatically after a Donor user created a Donation. The prompt “Can you Donate today?” was still appearing. this has been fixed and now when the donation is created, that prompt disappears.	✓		✓	C3-5066
Mobile App	We have added consistency of information on Live Donation screens. A tooltip will now show to inform the Donor that Foodiverse is waiting for a Charity to accept their Donation. The Offer Time, Charity name & address and their accepted categories have also been merged into one card instead of two.	✓	✓	✓	C3-5053
Mobile App	There was a bug on the Flutter mobile app where users could change to their desired language – but if they wanted to switch back to English they were unable to do so. This has been fixed.	✓	✓	✓	C3-5065
Web App	There was a bug on Foodiverse where some users could see backend commands for language settings on the frontend. This has been fixed.	✓	✓	✓	C3-5067
Extra PLD & Breached PLD Offers	In Foodiverse, when you see donation data described as Extra, that means that the Donor gave the charity additional food than what they had estimated in their original donation offer. When you see donation data described as Breached, that means that the donor gave the charity food that they are not approved in Foodiverse to accept. There was an issue happening when a Donor sent ‘Extra’ or ‘Breached’ category product level details items. Foodiverse was adding the estimated kilograms to the categories table for these items. We have fixed this bug so now when a donor sends additional or breached, only the actual kilograms appear on the Categories table for these items	✓	✓	✓	C3-4566
Food Net Membership Approval	We have made some improvements to the ‘Membership Administration’ section of the platform so that Food Net Admins can approve or reject new membership applications faster than before.	✓	✓	✓	C3-4903
Food Net Membership Automation	We have made it possible to automate the ‘membership activation’ step of the user and organisation onboarding process. The configuration is available in the Food Net Settings.	✓	✓	✓	C3-4952
Registration Process	The registration page has been made more readable by becoming one form column instead of two. Each section heading has been updated to be more indicative of what information is required from a registering user. Lastly, the form now only requires one mobile contact number whereas before; two were required. These updates should allow for a smoother registration process.	✓	✓	✓	C3-5048
Registration Form	We improved the error validation on the Foodiverse registration form. Now when a user enters a phone number that is already used on the platform, the user will be shown the error so that they know they need to input a number that hasn’t already been used.	✓	✓	✓	C3-5203
Onboarding Process	We have developed a new link that Food Net Admins can share with members wishing to join Foodiverse that will allow them to register and automatically send their Foodnet application for review once they are registered, eliminating the need to log in and ‘join the food net’. There is a Donor link and a Charity link. New members will not have to choose their Organisation type if they use this link. Once the new member becomes actived on Foodiverse, the Foodbank will receive a request to join their Foodnet.	✓	✓	✓	C3-4902C3-4917
Onboarding Process	We have streamlined the email notifications for the onboarding process of joining Foodiverse as a Donor and as a Charity. New Organisations and new users will receive less emails than previously in an effort to onboard users faster and with ease.	✓	✓	✓	C3-5039
Onboarding Process	We have updated the email content in the first 9 emails that new Foodiverse Organisations receive during the onboarding process.	✓	✓	✓	C3-5034
Platform Security	We added an increased security to user account activation where all Foodiverse users now have a 24 hour timeline to be able to activate an account, password or password reset via email. This gives users enough time to activate accounts and reset their password while ensuring that we maintain platform security.	✓	✓	✓	C3-5079
SMS Notifications	We have updated the default SMS settings for when a user adds a new branch to their existing organisation. The setting is now defaulted to ‘Never Send SMS’,	✓	✓	✓	C3-4821

Charities can do this by clicking on the ‘Donation Record’ button on the ‘Offers History’ page and clicking the export button.	✓	✓	✓	C3-4350; C3-5050

Food Net Membership	When an Org Admin wishes to add a new branch to their organisation, they can now join a ‘featured’ food net at the same time.

Mobile App	We have improved the experience for donors using the mobile app who wish to let charities know that they do not have any food available to donate. From now on, when they select ‘No food available on the ‘prepare donation’ screen, they will receive a popup notification asking if they are sure they would like to post this and then thanking them for letting us know. This will replace a confusing notification telling them that their donation was successful.	✓			C3-5012
Mobile App	Donors entering product-level detail (PLD) at the point of donation will now receive a validation error if they try to input non-numeric characters into the product price field.	✓			C3-4964

Reporting	All reports in Foodiverse are limited to a 90 day date filter to protect platform performance. There was a bug affecting this limitation which has now been resolved.	✓	✓	✓	C3-5078
Reporting	We improved the Impact Reports on Foodiverse to ensure that if a donor only sends estimated data and does not follow-up by sending product level detail data (aka actual data), the ‘Actual KGs’ cell will be blank. It was matching the ‘estimate’ data which was inaccurate.	✓	✓	✓	C3-4913

Category	Update	Donor	Charity	Food Net	Reference
Accept-by Time	Donor branches creating donations in the web app will see an improvement to how the system reflects the relationship between the ‘accept by time’ and the ‘collection window’.	✓		✓	C3-3894
Accept-by Time	We have made some improvements to how the web app informs a donor branch user that they cannot proceed with a donation because their ‘accept by time’ is in the past.	✓		✓	C3-3896

iOS app	We have updated the knowledge hub article on how to sign into and use the to iOS / iPhone Charity App		✓		C3-4056
Reporting	After the June 1st deployment, Donor KPI report columns were not downloading in full. This has been resolved.	✓		✓	C3-4054

Reporting	We have updated the knowledge hub article related to Foodiverse KPI reports and Foodiverse Impact reports	✓	✓	✓	C3-3992
Reporting / APIs	Previously, donors using the multicollector feature and the PLD APIs could only technically offer one food classification to one charity. This has now been resolved so that food can be accurately reported on when multiple collectors receive food from the same food classification as part of the same donation. For example, if a primary charity is offered all of the ambient food and the waitlist charity is offered all of the chilled food, if the primary charity cannot take all of the ambient food, the remaining ambient food can be given to the waitlist charity and accurately reported on.	✓	✓	✓	C3-4018

For example, if you are logged in as an Org Admin, the results of the web app pages where this filter applies will default to the ‘Org Admin’ filter.

iOS Mobile App	Users of the iOS app will no longer see a ‘view’ button on their dashboard when they are offered ‘unsuitable’ food donations or when they are being alerted that the donor does not have food to donate for a planned transfer window.		✓	✓	C3-3821

BETA App	Mobile app users that wish to use the BETA version of the mobile app for testing purposes can now do so as part of the new region selector on the mobile app. This will appear to users downloading the app for the very first time. For more information on how this works, please see this knowledge base article:	✓	✓	✓	C3-3661; C3-3662; C3-3659; C3-3658; C3-3836; C3-3858

Labels	We have replaced the label filter with a ‘type and search’ instead of a dropdown as for some organisations, they had over 100 label options which meant they would often struggle to find the label they were looking for.	✓	✓	✓	C3-3778
New Feature	Donor’s can now configure the time by which they wish a charity to respond to a donation offer to between 0-90 minutes before the donor’s collection windows end. This time is known as the ‘Accept-By Time’ and is configurable in the Donor Organisation’s settings. It will default to 30 minutes before the donor’s collection windows end for all donors.   See Knowledge Hub article here Please note: Aspects of this feature are still in development. The ‘accept-by time’ configuration has passed testing for temporary schedules, however, by the next release, it should also be functioning on extended temporary collection windows. By the August release, we hope to improve the mobile app UI for charities and donors so that they are clear about the expected Accept-by Time.	✓		✓	C3-3881
Product Level Details	The ‘Create PLD’ API docs have been updated. See here	✓		✓	C3-3846
Reports	Donor Organisations can now configure their process success, posting compliance and food offered KPIs to highlight as red, amber or green depending on their own parameters. This can be configured in the Donor Organisation settings and will be reflected in the Donor Branch KPI report.   Instructions on how to configure this can be found here: Please note that this will not be available in Food Net reporting.	✓		✓	C3-3526; C3-3729; C3-3730
Reports	As a donor with a donation window ending at 23:59, when I did not post a donation where an active donation window exists, a ‘No posting’ flag was not being not generated which affected KPI reports because ‘No postings’ help to calculate donor compliance in the KPI reports. This has now been resolved, however, please note that ‘No postings’ are generated approximately 5 minutes after an active donation window ends so it is important to be careful when planning active donation too close to midnight.	✓		✓	C3-3728
Reports	Impact and KPI report users should now see a ‘totals’ row when they export their reports from Foodiverse.	✓	✓	✓	C3-3735

Schedule Management	Food Bank administrators can now extend collection windows to span between 1-7 calendar days. This means that if a food bank is working with a donor who would like their collection window to stretch over a number of days (to a maximum of 1 week), this is now possible. In order to extend a collection window, please edit it and add the number of days by which you would like the window to extend.   Please note: This is not yet available on the temporary schedule but it should be included in the next release.	✓		✓	C3-3230
User View	We have changed the ‘View Mode’ filter to be called ‘User View’ and for the dropdown to reflect the Foodiverse user types so that it is more clear what this filter’s function is. For certain pages on Foodiverse, the data will need to be filtered by user type which is why this filter exists.	✓	✓	✓	C3-3794

Foodiverse Product Update: 22 June 2021

Important update to the Foodiverse Platform

Foodiverse User Logins

We are making an important update to the platform. This will cause all users to be logged out after tonight’s donations. Please log back in tomorrow morning to continue with donations as usual.

We are upgrading our user authentication system to improve the reliability of the platform. Thank you for understanding and we apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Foodiverse Product Update: 2 June 2021

Here’s what’s new in Foodiverse

Foodiverse Web App

• Donors posting donations from the web app are now prompted to post an unplanned donation if they do not have an expected donation window on their schedule that day.
• In the web app, the “Received” status should not be visible to platform users. This was a bug that was confusing to some platform users. We removed the “action” pop-up dialog that sometimes asked users to mark a donation as “Received.” This status relates to when a posted donation is received by the platform, not when the food offer is physically received by the charity.
• The “Contact Us” link on the Foodiverse web app now leads to the contact page in the Knowledge Hub, rather than directly creating a Partner Support email which is a tech support inbox that is being decommissioned. Information on how the platform works and who to contact if you require support can be found on the Knowledge Hub or at foodiverse.net/help-centre
• The Donation reference ID was not appearing on the Food Board for all users, even though there was a space for it. This reference ID is now visible.
• Timestamps on each donation in the Manage Donations or My Donations sections of the web app now show more information about each offer, such as the time at which it was offered, accepted or rejected. This will help diagnose issues charities may be having by giving the viewer a clearer picture of where a given donation ended up.

Mobile Apps

• If a donor creates a donation, but there is no available donation window, the app will now default to “Unplanned.” Expected donation windows should only be configured in the web app and, thus,  reflected in the mobile app where a primary charity or waitist charity is ‘scheduled’ so that KPI reporting can be as accurate as possible.
• If a user attempts to log in with invalid credentials, we now present them with a clear error message stating that either the username or password they entered was incorrect.
• In “My Donations” on the Android app, the user will see the previous 7 days of their donation windows as a default. This can be adjusted by the user with date pickers.
• We carried out performance and stability improvements on the Android app.

Reporting

• If a charity who accepted a donor’s offer was not approved to receive all the categories in that donation, the impact report figures still reflected the weight of the entire donation (including the segment that was not suitable for them). This is now fixed to reflect only the parts of the donation that were actually accepted.
• In this release, we are launching the MVP of our new Data Export feature. In the first iteration, this new feature allows Foodiverse reporting users to select a date range and some filters on the Donor Branch KPI report,, then download the results. When a download is started, the user will see a popup dialog informing them that the download is in progress. When complete, they will receive an email which will link them to a “My Files” section in their profile. From there, they can download their selected report as a CSV file. This feature will be available on all reports soon and we encourage all users to get familiar with this format by testing this feature.
• The Charity compliance report was missing the “Expected Accepted” column, which tells you how many times they accepted offers on days when they expected to receive them. This is now present.
• The column “No Availability Rate” was mislabelled in the KPI report. This is now fixed.
• We added timing compliance KPIs to the Donor Branch KPI and Donor Org KPI reports.
• We did data cleansing tasks weekly to ensure that “unplanned” donation windows were not showing as Expected donations. Going forward, where there is no primary charity expecting a donation, the donation will not be marked as Expected. It will only show up in Total Donations in the reports.
• We fixed a bug where percentage KPIs were showing as zeroes on the FoodBank Network Organisation Compliance Report.
• We fixed a calculation error in the Donor Branch KPI report.
• We fixed an issue with the date filters on all Foodiverse Reports. The filters will now return data from the full selected date range..
• We’ve implemented “view mode” in the KPI reports to allow the display of rates or total numbers. The option to switch between view modes improves readability and relevance of the report.

Backend/APIs

• We fixed a bug that prevented a donor from selecting a transfer (formerly collection) window that had already started.
• We’ve made changes to the API that returns available donation windows to the Mobile and Web apps in an improved order. These updates ensure that the user is presented with the most likely donation window as a default. If a donor creates a donation, but there is no available donation window, the donation will now default to “Unplanned.” These backend changes will help with reporting accuracy, as donors will not be RAG’d on an offer unless an expected (formerly scheduled) donation window exists.
• We’ve updated the Manage Donations API endpoint to include the charity UUID in the response. This helps API users to identify which charities were offered a given donation.
• When a “No Posting” was recorded in a donation window, the window was considered to be “used.” We’ve adjusted this so that a donor can use the most recent donation window to create a donation, even if a “No Posting” has already been recorded for that window.

DevOps

• We’ve made performance and stability improvements to the Foodiverse jobs container and EU Production Kubernetes cluster.

Foodiverse Product Update: 28 April 2021

Here’s what’s new in Foodiverse 3.0.0

Foodiverse Web App

• We fixed a bug in “advanced” integration settings. Now, when you subscribe to receive a webhook about an event, you will be able to see that your changes have been saved.
• For organisation admins managing a user on the Foodiverse web app , the “Resend Activation Email” button was broken. This button now triggers an activation email to the user as expected.
• When viewing donation details, some category items appeared to be listed twice. This is now fixed.
• Charities are now able to search for a specific offer within their Offers History page.

Mobile Apps

• In the Android app, some donation details were appearing without the correct category labels. This mismatch is now fixed.
• We fixed a bug on the mobile app where the Impact page wasn’t loading the impact figures for individual branches.

Notifications

• We fixed an error in the email that lets a donor know when it’s time to post. The email now arrives on time, with the correct posting time.
• We reduced the number of emails we were sending to charities about their donations. The volume of emails we were sending was causing delays in donation processing.
• We were sending SMS notifications to charities on the waitlist, when these notifications should only be sent via the app. This caused confusion and is now reversed so that only Primary charity branches receive the SMS.
• SMS messages to Primary charity branches will now read as follows:

8kgs available from Example Donor for collection on 22 April, 16:00-17:00. Text back Y1 to accept or N1 to reject. For more info about offer, download the Foodiverse app here: https://foodiverse.net 

• On the web app, charity org admin’s can now update their charity branch SMS and Push notification settings by choosing from the following options:
  • i) ALWAYS send me SMS
  • ii) Send me SMS ONLY when I’m not logged in with a smartphone (DEFAULT)
  • iii) NEVER send me SMS

Reporting

• We adjusted calculations in the Charity Branch KPI report so that the figures reported will now be more accurate.
• In the Donor KPI report, the search bar was broken, and it was not possible to search and filter at the same time. Both issues are now fixed.
• Due to how Foodiverse now collects data, KPIs are calculated somewhat differently to before. For more information, please check out our Knowledge Hub article on the new KPI Report. There will be further updates on KPI reporting in future releases.
• We reviewed requirements and designed an implementation plan for the “Export to CSV” function for in-app reporting. This feature will be developed and refined over the course of the next few sprints.
• A review of all Foodiverse in-app reporting was conducted to ensure all reporting calculations were as expected.
• For donors with a donation schedule, the ‘Create a Donation’ notification will stay on their Donor Dashboard, ‘Your To Do List,’ for 60 minutes prior to the start of the window, and for 60 minutes after the window ends.
• ‘No Posting’ notifications will also appear under My Donations on the Donor account at the end of the Posting window, if the Donor Branch has not donated. ‘No Posting’ notifications are required in order to calculate compliance in in-app reporting.

Backend/APIs

• For retail partners using an integration with our “PLD” API, product level detail will now be sent automatically with donations that are posted via that integration.
• We investigated and improved the way we record a “No Posting” status for expected donations.
• We fixed an issue with historic donations (dated on or before 21 March 2021). Some of the donations that were migrated from the old system into Foodiverse were showing the incorrect food classification (Ambient, Chill, Frozen, Hot). This is no longer an issue.
• When a charity belonged to two Food Networks, the admins from both networks were able to see full details about the charity’s schedule. We now include placeholder text to show WHEN a charity has a slot in another network, but not WHO will be donating to them during that slot.
• We fixed a food classification issue for charities who wished to update their food classification preferences (Ambient, Chilled, Frozen, Hot) in their Organisation settings. Their updates were not persisting across all platform functions. This issue has now been resolved.
• Charities were seeing the same donation multiple times on pending actions and in their “offers” table. This is now corrected.
• Webhooks were being sent twice or multiple times, causing delays and undue strain on the processing of donations. This is now fixed.
• We have extended the expiration time of the “activation link” sent to newly registered users. The activation link will now last 48 hours instead of 60 minutes, so new users will have more time to activate their accounts after registration.
• We fixed a bug where some food categories, such as cereal, were being labelled with the wrong food classification. All categories are now updated to reflect their proper classifications.

DevOps

• Due to the start of daylight savings time, we adjusted the hours at which the cache updates throughout the day, to ensure that data refreshes don’t interfere with peak donation times.
• Foodiverse uses Microsoft Azure hosting services. In line with recommended best practices, the tech team continually reviews and iterates on this configuration to ensure the highest level of security, stability, and performance.
• Copia is hosted on Heroku. Heroku informed us of an update to their system which meant we needed to manage our Copia configuration to ensure that users of Copia continued to be able to send PLD.
