Changed Step 2:Prison & Address Interface<\/h2>\n

I had noticed that many volunteers were confused by the interface of Step 2 of the Log a Package workflow.\u00c2\u00a0 The old interface showed both the pulldown menu to select a prison that is already in the database and the form to add a new prison.\u00c2\u00a0 Many people filled out the add a new prison form and completely missed the pulldown.\u00c2\u00a0 The new interface defaults to the pull-down menu, hiding the form to add a new prison.\u00c2\u00a0 By clicking a labeled link, the pull-down menu is hidden and the add a new prison form is revealed.

Added additional information to the Inmate List<\/h2>\n

\"inmate_list_last_package_sent_date\"<\/p>\n

At the Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project, we are only able to send people books every 2 months to ensure more equitable access to our resources.\u00c2\u00a0 Someone must check incoming letters to see whether the person requesting books has received books recently and file the letters away for later if the writer has received books recently.<\/p>\n

I added additional information to the results of an inmate search to show the date that the last package was sent\u00c2\u00a0 to the inmate.\u00c2\u00a0 This makes it easy for our volunteers to find out this required information with a minimum number of clicks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
