You Can Now Opt-In for Beta Features that Interest You

You can get to this part of the system by clicking on the Gear-Shaped Button on the right side of blue Admin Toolbar and then clicking Beta Features.

We often have upcoming features that our clients are very interested in trying out. In fact, almost all of the new features we develop for the Rain system were requested by our clients! In an effort to get you more involved with the finishing touches on projects like this, we are launching what is called an Open Beta status for some projects, and you will be able to opt into them if you choose. 

After you load the page, you'll see a list of available features for which you can choose to opt in as a beta tester. You can activate features directly from the page, and turn them on or off as you choose. If you see one that has its box checked already, that's one the developers are pretty sure everyone is going to want and that is very close to being fully released. Feel free to go to that part of the system and try the new functionality. If it doesn't work for you, you can always come back to the Beta area and turn it off.

For items you are interested in trying, check the box, then click Save at the bottom. If anything needs special explanation, you will be able to click on a link to learn more about it directly from this Beta list page. 

Please Note: Most of the features listed in the image above are not actually on the Beta list, please go to the page in your system to see actual Beta items.

After trying the new functionality, if you like it, keep using it! If not, you can turn it off just fine. If you find something about it that isn't working, please go to the Help button on the far right side of our blue Admin Toolbar (the Question Mark) and click to Report a Bug. You will find that for items in Beta, we will be very responsive to solving bug issues even more rapidly than normal, since these features are nearing final launch.

Similarly, if you think there should be more functionality than you are seeing in the feature, you can submit a system enhancement request to let us know. From that same menu, click on Suggest a Feature, and since the item is still in development, it's possible you may see your suggestion happen quickly!
