Hi Lenny,
Thanks for clarifying, I've added your thoughts about the Waitlist column to our current enhancement notes for improving table filters and sorting throughout the software.
Thanks again for adding your suggestions!

Hi Lenny,
Thanks so much for adding your suggestion to this post! Can you expand on what information you would like to add to the Manage Opportunities page? Are you referring to the Volunteerism > Opportunities tab? Currently, there is a table filter here to see the total number of folks on the Waitlist.
For exports of shifts and Opportunities, I can see why you would want a column for the total number of users currently on the Waitlist. I will add that to our Enhancements board to review!
Let me know about the first request, I want to make sure I understand it fully before making more notes on it on our end.
Thanks!

Yes, Shonie. I was referring to the Volunteerism > Opportunities. You can add the filter for Waitlist, but it doesn't let you "Sort" by that field. Thanks!
These changes would also be extremely helpful for us!
I find that many volunteers misunderstand the waitlist feature, and because it is complicated for them to navigate back to the needs they have added themselves to the waitlist for, they never return to claim a spot that has opened up. Adding the waitlist opportunities to their calendar would help on both the volunteer end and the manager end!
Hi John, thanks for your input!
I see three major changes here:
1. Add waitlist responses to the volunteer schedule/calendar view
2. Add waitlist responses to the responses table, instead of them being in their own table.
3. Add waitlist responses to the manager responses table, with the ability to filter for waitlist responses.
I will be sure to add these to our enhancement list, and bring these ideas up in our next review!
Would also like to see this as a sort option on the Manage Opportunites page, as well as have it show up on the export of all shifts and opportunities.

Waitlists are a great feature - we couldn't function without them. They were added to Connect in May, 2018, they work well, but they feel like an appendage.
This product suggestion to to integrate them further into the product. In particular:
From the volunteer perspective:
From the the site manager's perspective:
