Two factor authentication (2FA) is now available for all UnionActive sites. 2FA adds extra security to a website by introducing a second layer of defense beyond just the password, making unauthorized access to user accounts significantly more difficult. 2FA works by sending a random pin to the users email address or cell phone number.

You can now schedule push messages for sending at a later date and time. The push message form has the same schedule selections as the email broadcast form now. On the app notification broadcast form, set the option under Schedule Message Delivery to "Schedule Message for Sending Later". Then use the date and time fields to set date/time the message will be sent.

Data manager forms can be set to require approval before being sent to the data group notification email address. To activate the approval process for a data manager form, go to the settings for the form and set the Require Approval of Submissions drop down menu to Yes. Then enter an email address to receive the approve/deny email notifications in the Approve Notification Email field.

There are 2 new modules available now for embedding forms. Once added to the site, the modules allow you to select which form to embed.

At the bottom of the module, use the drop down menu to select the form to display and click save. The form can now be completed from the module.

We are happy to announce to our IAFF clients that IAFF database logins have been fully integrated into the UnionActive system!

The Data Manager forms now have the ability to calculate values based on numbers entered into fields in the form. Group fields can also be setup to allow a series of records to be entered into a form.
