When someone selects an opportunity from the Opportunity Finder widget, the Opportunity Detail widget displays. Here, people can see additional information about an opportunity and respond to it with a form. Check out Widget Church's Opportunities to see an Opportunity Detail widget in action.

Sections

Title
The name of the opportunity.
When
The date the opportunity occurs. If blank, this is replaced with "Ongoing".
Description
A brief description of the opportunity. You can use line breaks.
Primary Contact
The photo and full name of the opportunity's primary contact. If no photo is attached to the primary contact's contact record, a placeholder image displays. Tap the primary contact's image to open a contact form so people can send an email.
Note: The primary contact must have an email address associated with their contact record to receive a contact form.
Location
Autofilled from the program's Congregation field.
Remaining Need
This displays the number of responses still needed. This is calculated as the total number of responses (which have a response result value of "Placed") subtracted from the maximum needed.
Note: Want to collect additional information when someone submits a response? You can do that! See Configuring Opportunity Details to learn how.

Actions

Submit Response
This action displays a success message, which you can define using the mpp-opportunity-details.thankYouMessage application label. It creates a response record in MinistryPlatform. If the opportunity is associated with a group and/or event, the respondent is added once the Response Result field of the response record is marked as placed.
Note: The First Name, Last Name, and either Email Address or Phone Number fields are required to match the response to a contact record. You cannot change the required fields.
Fill Out Form
Add a custom form to your Opportunity Details widget to gather additional information.
  • Custom form questions display after the default fields.
  • Form instructions display between the default fields and the custom form questions.
  • Custom contact and address fields only display once. The Get Contact Info and Get Address Info fields only apply to stand-alone forms, so that information will not display on the form response record.
    • The custom form's end date will be ignored. If the opportunity details display, the associated form will also display.
    • If the custom form requires a login (that is, Force Login is set to Yes), the person will be prompted to log in before they can sign up for the opportunity.
