Show member/nonmember status on rosters
For courses/events that generate income, it would be helpful to the committee leadership if we could tell if a registered person is a member or nonmember when we look at the detailed roster. The reason...fee structure is different and we can more easily figure out how much income was generated without having to have staff pull the info for us (when they are already very busy).
It would also be helpful for activity leaders to know who the guests are (so we can talk more about the Mountaineers/other committees and entice them to join).

Multiple badges within a committee GH2933
As more committees move towards multiple leader badges, it would be helpful for committees to be able to easily assign more than one badge to their leaders (For example: Basic Snowshoe Leader and Intermediate Snowshoe Leader).
This would provide the ability for a committee to assign other specialty badges as well such as a "mentor" badge.
Committees should be able to assign these badges to a new leader or when editing an existing leader, and it would be very helpful if they could do all of it from within their committee roster.

Print Youth Program Forms SD647
We'd like to print the Youth Program Form(s) as we do for the Youth information Form(s) from the Youth Flag Report.
- We'd have two "print" buttons on the Youth Flag Report: "Print Youth Information Forms" and "Print Youth Program Forms"
- We'd use the same "line in the sand" (i.e. ~~~) to include only text/responses above the line for the program form(s) being printed.8 votesCompleted Jun 2019.

Branch Secretary
Branch Treasurer
Branch Officer
MemberNote: "Member" is for branches whose committee chairs regularly attend branch council meetings but don't have a branch officer role (so its important we keep this) Thanks!

Notes/Questions
- I saw “Content Manager” used, so I added that to the list.
- Since “Members” are described as Committee Chairs, should we add “Committee Chair” to the list? Would that be better/more correct? If so, do we keep “Member”?
- Each committee has a new field called, “Committee Type” with three choices: Committee (the default), Branch, and Board of Directors (for the Board of Directors “committee” only).
- For each of the branches, you’ll need to first edit the committee and choose “Branch” for the “Committee Type” field and then edit the rosters to choose the correct “branch” position for each person. -
Improve Roster Functionality: Badge Rosters SD584
Make sure there is pagination and the ability to search on large badge rosters. We'd also like the ability to download rosters. Need to be able to bulk update expiration date. Also need to fix the roster download function.

Fully integrated Roster Management for Courses with multiple activities, and sections to complete to graduate.
Currently for a Course with multiple required activities one must download multiple CSV files and have the skill to basically develop a one time database and queries to track all students and who has completed what.
It would seem like the software provide would have reporting capabilities and modules that could be user facing to avoid this by using the source database.3 votesWe already have the desired functionality. There are “Review” links to everyone’s name on the course roster. Visit https://www.mountaineers.org/volunteers/leader-resources/schedule-a-course-clinic-or-seminar/schedule-a-course-clinic-or-seminar#manage-rosters to learn more.
If there is concern about all students registering for required field trips, be sure that all course activities are listed and open for registration when the course opens for registration. This way participants are prompted to choose activities when they register before getting to the checkout page.

Track Leaders, Instructors and Members better on Committee Rosters including Automatically Assigning Leader Badges SD134/SD580
Right now you are added as a leader to a committee and Member Services gets an email notification that requires them to add the badge. Leader web rights however are instantly granted with the addition to the roster.
Expiration dates for each, automatic leader/instructor badge assignment/removal, roster removal if none remain. Add committee member checkbox. Bulk update tools for managing roles/expiration dates. Determine what an instructor really is.
8 votesWe added fields for tracking committee member, leader and instructor expiration dates, and automatically assign or remove the leader badge specified on the committee.
Additional details were sent to committee chairs on Nov 20. See the tech blog post, https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/2-9-many-small-improvements, for more info.

Printer-friendly Roster Page with Contact Info for Leaders SD319
In preparing for an activity, leaders often want to bring a long a printout of their activity roster, including participant names, mobile phone, email, and emergency contact info. Currently we have to export this info to excel and spend time removing unnecessary columns and rows and doing a lot of formatting to produce this. Offer a printer-friendly page that formats this info (and leaves out the unnecessary info like cancelled registrations, etc.).
25 votesLive but need to add email address column and better phone number formatting. We’ll have that done soon.

MailTo button on Rosters and other web email improvements GH1123
The email button on the roster page is pretty much useless because of the crippled form based email that is built in. Add another button with a MailTo link behind it that feeds the default email client with the list of selected email address in the header.
That's basically the same functionality we had under IMIS--it was robust, immensely useful, and the necessary programming is trivial.
24 votesWe added a MailTo box that allows copy-and-paste of email addresses to a personal email client and up to threes attachment for web-sent email.

Download Roster: Have option to download only those selected GH1132

Make field trip/lecture instructors push to course rosters SD381
Right now we have a lot of instructors who are just added or sign up to a single field trip roster. Unfortunately because they aren't added to the course roster they aren't available for recruiting via our mega course template roster for future field trips/lectures that particular year or in future years.
Also having the course show up in your My Courses & Programs is helpful for instructors who want a quick link to upcoming field trips for them to volunteer for. This is particularly important for the many day courses like basic, scrambling, sea kayaking etc.

Committee roster updates based on activity level
One of the things were trying to do right now is clean up the roster, lots of old info there. Any chance those can be self updating fields? For example the scramble standard says leaders have to do at least one trip every 2 years. Something similar could work for instructors too.
5 votesCancelled · AdminJeff Bowman (Associate Director of Information Technology, The Mountaineers) respondedWe added the ability to download badges for all on a committee roster, so there is enough data for a “real human” to review and make decisions about a leader’s status. This is better than a costly automated system that could accidentally remove a person from a roster.
