Released May 20, 2025
New Address Labels Distribution Report
A new Address Labels report has been added to the list of reports that can be printed for a distribution. This report is designed to be printed on Avery #5164 label sheets. These labels can be attached to the packages in each order.
If the “# Packages” field is set on the Orders screen for an order, then a label will be printed for each package in the order. For example, if the order is updated by an admin to 2 packages, then labels will be printed with “Package 1 of 2” and “Package 2 of 2”.
New Service Program Requests Report
When service locations set up with “Additional Service Programs”, shoppers will be asked if they would like information about additional programs each time they check out on the shopping site. When the shopper clicks the button to request information, an email is sent to the pantry with the details of the requested programs.
A new “Service Program Requests” report has been added to the “Reports” screen in the Admin portal. This report shows all clients and the programs they requested information about for a given time period.
NOTE: Service Program Request tracking will start on May 21, 2025. This report will only show requests made by shoppers after that date.
New Communications Report
A new “Communications” report has been added to the “Reports” screen in the Admin portal. This report shows all communications sent from PantryEasy to clients as well as all SMS messages received from clients for a given time period.
Dietary Considerations for Clients
Shoppers have the ability to add a note when the check out an order. That note will print on the Pick List report for the pantry staff to see. It can be tedious for shoppers to have to add a note every time they place an order. A new “Dietary Considerations” field has been added to the Client screen in the Admin portal. Admin can edit a client record and save information about any dietary considerations for the client and their family. This information will automatically print on the Pick List report for every order the client makes.
Support for Multiple Pantry Email Addresses
The Communications screen in the Admin portal has email address fields that are used by pantries to specify where notifications from PantryEasy to the pantry should go. If a pantry would like any of these notifications to be sent to more than one email address, they can now enter multiple email addresses in the field. If multiple email addresses are entered, the email addresses should be separated by commas “,”.
Pick List Filter on the Edit Location screen
The Edit Location screen has a Products grid. One of the fields users update in this grid is the Pick List Sort #. That field controls the order that products appear inside each Pick List Group on the Pick List report. It can be difficult to set Pick List Sort # when seeing every product in the library because each Pick List Group will have a product with 1, 2, 3, etc in the Sort # column group.
A “Pick List” filter has been added to the Products grid. This makes it easy to only see products for a give pick list, so the sort order field can be set correctly for each product in the selected pick list group.
Flexible Client Registration Rules for Zip Code
Most client registration forms include an address block that includes Street Address, City, State, Zip Code. Pantries had to decide if every field would be required or none of the fields would be required. Requirements for demographic tracking have changed recently. For many pantries, only the Zip Code is required. The address block now has the ability to only make the Zip Code required. If this change needs to be made to your registration form, please send an email to support@pantryeasy.com
