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.

Provide more clarity or even a link to let students manage their registration from the course activity page itself
Currently the text under register participant banner is clear but I keep getting emails from students on trying to not able to know the steps on how to manage their registration for course activities.
Suggestion:
(1) Add language more clearly on the steps to follow after visiting the course page such as clicking "Manage Registration" OR
(2) If possible, have the link to manage course registration available on all course activities.2 votesHello KD/Lynn -
We are unable to link the course registration popup directly on the activity - but we can update the language/information provided on the activity registration notice to make it clearer for students. Do you have any suggestions based on what you have heard from students? I think having the action (visit the course page) clearer with either the link there or a button would help ensure people know to follow the link presented to the course page. Thoughts?

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…

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.

Call-out when a Course Roster change was after registration in notifications
Currently, the course registration open and close dates are only stored on the website and not in Salesforce. This means we are unable to use this information to inform leaders/coleaders when an activity roster change happened AFTER registration closes.
If we stored this in Salesforce, we would be able to change the email notification to make this clearer to leaders.

Generate iCal calendar for any course activities, regardless of participation status
I often have to manually transcribe the multiple events from a course into my personal google calendar. This is error prone and time consuming, and I bet most people do this.
It would be awesome if the "course requirements" section of a course page that shows all the events would also contain a link to the iCal of that course so I can add all the events to my personal google calendar with a single click.
This would be useful to do with any course, not just the ones I am signed up with:

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 "Applied" as a Registration Status Option
Add a status that the course leader could assign when they manually add an applicant to the roster, before they have been accepted or declined. eg. the Basic Climbing Course roster would have 300 applicants that were manually entered by the leaders. (this has the problems of communicating to applicants to create a guest account and probably too much admin burden for leaders). As students are accepted, they are moved to "offered" at which point they can pay for the course. All who aren't accepted simply remain on the "applied" roster. This would allow a quick report for following years…

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.

Identify activities, courses, and events restricted to a SIG/Branch
Let climb leads be able to hide climbs from the public until they are done getting members from their SIG or branch.
As a basic student its time consuming to see climbs just to sign up or email the climb leader and find out its only for a specific group of people and that I can't be on the climb.
