customizable number of days when a person on the waitlist of a fee course is offered a spot.
Currently the default of the automated email sent to the person who is being offered a spot for a course or clinic is 5 days to take the offer and register. Ideally the number of days for a person to take an offer should be customizable probably when setting up the course (similar to registration start and end date)..
For interim solution, if the automated email can be modified to say that "you may receive an email from the course leader for a specific date to take the offer" which may be less than 5 days.5 votes -
Post application not registration dates for courses.
When a course requires you to "apply" BEFORE you can "register,"it is much more important to know the date when applications begin rather than the date for registration. If someone reads "registration begins November 4th" they might return to the page on November 4th thinking they can register for it when they can't unless they're application has already been accepted.

Allow Course Leaders/Admins to Edit Participant's Registration Datetime
Today, Leaders can edit the registration datetime for their Activities. This allows them to manage the waitlist order by changing the dates as needed. This idea is to allow the same functionality for Courses.

Notify course participants when new field trip/lecture within the course is posted
Once a course is live, leaders can add new field trips and lectures to the course offering. However, participants are often unaware of these additions unless course or activity leaders notify them manually through email or other channels. The Youth Team is currently exploring solutions to automatically notify course students when new activities are added. This system could eventually be expanded to adult courses as well, reducing the administrative burden on leaders by ensuring participants are automatically informed via email.

Update All Forms with Rich Text Fields
Most forms on the website today use a Text field instead of Rich Text. For Equivalency applications and other long forms, this makes it difficult for the intended audience to read the submissions given all formatting is removed.

Improve Functionality for Overlapping Enrollment Badges
Today, enrollment badges work as follows:
- When someone is added to a course with an "enrollment" badge - they are added to that badge's roster and the expiration date is set based on that course.
- If a student is added to a course with an enrollment badge that they already have - the badge's expiration date is updated to reflect whatever the newest course's expiration date is.
- Once a student completes a course, the enrollment badge is removed. It does not matter what course originally created the badge and/or what the expiration date.
It is uncommon for courses to share…
3 votesGiven it only impacts a few courses, this is not a high priority. However, if this is something we can easily accomplish or can be tied to another piece of work that is prioritized, it would be great to have this changed.

Seminars and Course Activities Will Not Stay Private
Seminars and other course activities (lecture and field trips) will not stay private. They are continuously "self publishing" a few minutes after being withdrawn. Repeated withdrawals do not help - the seminar or course activity will self-publish ad infinitum. This causes seminars and other course activities to become publicly visible while they are still being developed and reviewed. Sometimes committee reviews - the review/discuss/edit/repeat cycle - can take a few weeks, so having those half-done seminars and courses live on the website is a problem.
This seems to be a new website bug for 2021? I don't remember seeing it…

Add Ability to Exclude Instructors from Getting Registration Conflict Check for a Course Activity SD667
Make it so instructors can be excluded from conflict checking but not participants. For example for pool play sessions for sea kayaking course we need instructors for afternoon and morning sessions but students we only want to be able to sign up for one session.

course activities being moved to general members
when course activities are moved to general membership, can an email be released to those whose settings are set to get an email when a new activity is posted. From experience, people don't seem to know when hikes/backpacks are moving from a course to general membership. People have to look for the activity. Is this a setting that can be fixed or is it more involved?
