  1. Streamline New Field Trip Alerts with Automatic Emails for Youth Club Courses

    Youth Clubs staff would greatly benefit from removing a step in the field trip posting process (sending out multiple email blasts to a course roster). It would make life easier if the website sent an auto-email every time a new trip was posted within a course!

  2. Move Link to Request Leadership Permission Above Checkbox

    When an activity has Leadership Permission Required, the link to the application is at the end of the checkbox. The ask is to move this link to above the checkbox (or at least the first think in the statement) to make it clearer to students where the application link is.

  3. Only Allow Stewardship Committees to Post Stewardship Trips

    Currently any committee leader can post a stewardship trip. Now that we have new stewardship standards that states stewardship trips must be posted by committees that are chartered to sponsor stewardship, can we update the website so that only leaders on stewardship committees can post stewardship trips.

    At this time, any leader of any committee can post any type of trip but we see more instances of non-Stewardship chartered committee leaders, posting stewardship trips that do not align with stewardship standards.

    This idea has been completed! As mentioned previously, we have 1) educated leaders that Stewardship trips should be done only by Stewardship committees, 2) prevent future trips by finding and notifying past leaders who did not follow this guidance and 3) set up automated alerts and emails for when these situations occur to immediately address and take down the activity. Alerts/emails go to both Devin/Michelle and also the primary leader of the activity. With these changes, we should be able to monitor and address these cases with ease.

  4. Mid-level Supporter membership type

    A new family-style membership type for those who want to support our mission with a higher giving level (somewhere between Family and Peak Society)

  5. Warning when you click "Copy E-mail Addresses" if you have private and public profiles checked

    The Mountaineers has a policy that if you are emailing people with a profile set to Private, you should put them in BCC. It would be helpful if the site gave a warning pop-up when you have selected both public and private profiles and click "Copy E-mail Addresses" as the next logical step is that those emails get pasted into a "To" line.

    The warning could simply remind leaders that they should put Private profiles in BCC and maybe link to the policy.

    I'm not entirely sure if using the "Send E-mail" button will properly sort the emails into the…

  6. Add 'kid code' prefix to the Youth Flag Report form for cleaner report out process

    all information pulled from the Youth Programs Form regarding transportation currently populates in the same column on the Youth Flag Report. This means that kid codes, pick up list contact info, and parent approval initials all show up in the same place on the form which complicates the process of creating program check-in/check-out forms for roster managers. It would be ideal for kid codes to populate separate of pick up lists and to have their own column in order to clarify this process.

  7. Add MountainQueers to Search

    Add MountainQueers as affinity group to green search bar, similar to how we have "Singles", "Families", etc. If possible make this an easier area to update for the future as we look to expand our affinity groups.

  9. First Nation Land Acknowledgment

    I recommend placing a First Nation Land Acknowledgment statement on the bottom of The Mountaineers webpages. As an organization, we should recognize the ancestors and current stewards of the lands we live, work, and recreate on. A great example of this is already on the Braided River website/webpages. https://www.braidedriver.org.

  10. Books & Maps: Add a Revision Date GH3284

    For books and maps, add a Revision Date in addition to the Publication Date. This is helpful for book reprint dates where some corrections and revisions may be made. It is especially helpful for maps there generally do not have new editions that get a new ISBN and Publication Date, but are revised and updated every few years.

    Completed Sep 2022. This information was added to the book's "Description" field. Typically  you'll see both original and current edition dates there.

  11. Pre-populate times on cloned events with those from the event being cloned GH3276

    When cloning an event, pre-populate the event times and setup times with the times from the event being cloned. But keep them editable. Normally, a monthly meeting is going to be at the same time. Pre-populating will reduce the chance of entry errors as well. I caught several of my own mistakes.

  12. Pre-order/Backorder vs. Shopping Cart Clarification GH3072/3547

    As a user, when pre/backordering something show me a notification that this process is separate from my other items (if I have other available items in my cart).

    I'd like to see some sort of alert during/before reaching "/delayed-shipping" page that back/pre orders are not processed at the same time as the rest of the items in my cart. Reason being I'd like to avoid confusion during/after user has input all their information.

    Ideally, is it possible to...
    1) Check if the cart is currently empty (if so, proceed as usual)
    2) If cart /= empty, perhaps an in-frame pop-up?…

  13. Pre-order/Backorder Quantity GH3044

    As a website visitor pre-ordering or backordering a a book, allow me to enter a quantity that is applied when I click the "pre-order" or "backorder" button, and allow me to change this on the payment page, so that I may pre- or backorder more than one copy of a book at a time.

  15. Integrate Spelling/Typo Correction/Suggestion into Text Search GH2953/3738

    Add a feature or features that better handles misspellings and typos in text search strings. Two possibilities are: (1) a way to show potential spelling errors or typos like the red squiggly lines under such words, and/or (2) a feature like Google's "Showing results for {your corrected search string}. Search with {your original search string} instead."

    Site search has been improved as part of Tech Update 4.5. The blog with the details of this update can be found here: https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/tech-update-4-5-bulk-roster-updates-practice-sessions-site-search-and-more


    Please note, search will always be a work in progress but we hope that the updates made in 4.5 assist with searches for now as we continue to work to improve our search capabilities.

  16. Make the Write-In Amount Box on the Donation Page Wider GH2902

    On the Donation Pages make the write-in amount box wider. Examples:
    - Donate: https://www.mountaineers.org/donate
    - MAP Scholarship Fund: https://www.mountaineers.org/donate/other-giving-options/map-scholarship-fund (see attached)

    Probably as wide as the one on the checkout page (see attached).

  17. Default "Summary" section for educational activities GH2923

    Use the summary section that has been entered into the activity template for clinics, seminars, lectures, and field trips as the default once you have selected the appropriate template. Right now, summary sections are written up in the template, but they don't automatically populate in the activity listing.

  18. Add start month to automated year attached to courses etc

    For courses and activities, the year auto-populates in the listing, but the accounting department needs the month to be part of that, otherwise they have to manually go into each listing to find out what month the course happens and where to book the revenue

    Completed Oct 2020. Adding the start date to the Salesforce report accenting uses to enter data into Acumatica is sufficient.

  19. Improve Book Author Import GH2780/2803

    (1) Set up author bios to get exported/imported the same way that we do the book long descriptions, to avoid the need to truncate them.

    (2) In the Acumen-Plone sync, automatically check the "Show in byline" box for all contacts if there are three or fewer authors on the book's roster. Note that we'll manually update book rosters for this when there are four or more on the book's roster.

  20. Instructors for seminar/clinics GH2883

    I just noticed there's no option for an "instructor" role in the seminar/clinic template. Can we add this? Seminars/clinics are often course-like in that they have instructors.

    thanks!
