1. Improve Event Registration process for non-members

   The issue: We currently do not have a way for non-members to register/RSVP for Ms events that are open to the public. Our process requires guests to create a guest account before they can register for an open event, which can be a barrier or deterrent. On the back-end, this process makes managing an event roster nearly impossible as the "Add People to Event Roster" requires a member name to be added first. If there is no Current Path with the guest's name, you can't proceed.

2. Self populating cell meet place and time

   Create a self populating cell that when you’re posting or developing your template for the activity, There’s usually several options to launch from, and the cell could populate on the condition when you select where you were going to launch from it tells you or populates the cell with the meeting place and have an option in the cell that allows for time inputs of meet time and launch time and maybe an option for pre-launch meeting time This would eliminate. This could eliminate the current meat, place and time box completely. Leader could have the notes in there and put whatever they want in there. They don’t even have to talk about that where it is and nobody can Short cut it. You could put the Cell under the information area like where it shows wind and currents right before participants size. So it’s right at the top when you open it and you see that it’s such and such Park. That’s where it is directly below the description that the leader puts in describing where they’re going and such. I’ll consider this critical. Might be an answer to the frustration leaders are having communicating information to prospective applicants

3. Add more details to Activity/Course alert emails

   When a new activity alert is sent, it would be good to include more details such as summary, leader notes and description. There are many trips that are for a specific audience and it becomes tiring to click on all the trips and get disappointed to not find a trip to register for. Even if we can add a summary to them (as we now see in the find activities page on the website), we at the committee level can ensure the leaders and important info in the summary, especially if the trip is restricted to a specific audience.

4. Include the "audience" field in the activity search results

   Activities allow for scoping them to a specific audience/affinity group via the "audience" field. In the activity search page, the audience can be used to filter activities targeting a specific audience. The issue is that the activities that appear in the search do not specify their intended audience. The result is that the audience is only known once the activity page has been opened. It would help if the audience was included in the activity info summary that's provided in the search results so that prospective participants can more effectively identify the audience of the activity they're looking at.

   A screenshot with added text has been added to help demonstrate why this feature would be helpful.

5. Allow us to see feedback given by trip leaders

   Currently trip leaders post feedback on trips but it is invisible for us. Suggest to make it visible but like not editable. That way it is all transparent and we can see what is the feedback and can follow up as needed.

6. Display discounted pricing for Books/Activities

   Right now, if you change the price of a book or activity for a "sale", there is no way to distinguish that new sale price for the past regular price. The ask is to create a way to clearly call out discounted prices.

7. 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:
   - for the courses I want to instruct at, it would be helpful to put all the course events in my personal google calendar even if I myself am not part of the class
   - if I am not yet accepted into a course, I would still want to see all its events in my google calendar to make sure I don't overbook those dates.

8. Delayed Send for Auto Email for Activities/Events

   I like to hold off on sending emails until the 1-2 days before and the registration has been closed. These emails include things like my personal number, weather conditions, and overall serve as a reminder. Most people find accessing an email from a phone easier than accessing it from the website (and I don't want to include my phone number on postings).

   Sometimes the ideal time to send an email conflicts with other activities (ie I might be leading a conditioning hike or doing a race the night before a morning run). To get around this, I will sometimes send an email 2-3 days before, but then new people join and I don't get a chance to email them before the event.

   It would be great if I could input the email into the activity somewhere, schedule a time to send, it would auto-send on that specific date/time, then get send to any additional registrants who sign up after the originally scheduled time.

9. Change Author Contributor Types to Match Onyx

   The contributor types that the website can accept and that Onyx accepts differ. This requires the team to select a certain role to sync to Onyx and then change it to sync to the website. The reason they are different is so that the website contributors reads "Photography by __" vs. "Photographer __'. If we can separate the way that Acumen syncs with the website from what is presented on the web page we should be able to use the roles Onyx requires.

10. Customizing Branch-Specific Blog Ribbons

    Create a feature that allows branches to have more customization privileges over their branch-specific blog ribbon. Often, staff-created blogs will receive the "All Branches" tag, and a branch's specific blog (like an upcoming branch event) will get buried beneath other org update blogs (and in some cases, entirely removed from the branch blog ribbon due to the amount of newer content).

11. Allow users to add items to Promo Codes based on product/activity characteristics

    Currently, items that are on promotion can only be added per product. For large promotions, this is very tedious as it requires users to add products one by one. If we could add a category of products to a promotion, this would save significant amounts of time. Example - Add All Green Trail Maps to a promotion.

12. Difficulty Label Changes

    The long-form of this proposal with better formatting and screenshots is here:
    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vef3Nw-ulHzJdeKUhYSv95PX7FcAcigM7R2z6H5tn8g/edit?usp=sharing

    This is a copy-paste and loses formatting:

    ==========================

    Problem
    All trips posted have a “Difficulty” rating and a “Leader Rating” value, but trip listings only display the Difficulty rating. Sometimes the difficulty of a trip is indicated by the combination of the difficulty field and the trip template. For example, an Intermediate Snowshoe is posted using an “Intermediate Snowshoe” template and will have a difficulty label to indicate how strenuous the trip is expected to be. Other activities, such as Cross-Country Skiing, indicate the trip difficulty solely through the difficulty label.

    There are some major problems with the website’s current approach to difficulty labels.

    There is a global list of difficulty labels for all activities
    Each place listing can have (and usually does have) a default value for difficulty. This means for places that support multiple kinds of activities, there will be multiple different labels here for each activity.
    This field auto-populates with the default for the place. Because it has a default, the trip leader is not required to look at or change this field and in the overwhelming number of cases, does not. This means that the trip will be listed with a bunch of confusing, irrelevant difficulty labels that participants find extremely hard to reason about.

    Other times, the default value is “Varies” and that gets carried through. In many many cases, using the default difficulty value is incorrect.

    Proposal
    I propose some changes that will better set our leaders up for success:
    Restrict Difficulty Values: Instead of maintaining a global list of difficulty labels, tie the list of possible difficulty values either to the trip template or the activity type. This way when the trip leader selects the field, they will only be given options relevant to the activity type.

    Activity Template
    Labels
    Day Hike
    Easy, Moderate, Strenuous, Very Strenuous
    Alpine Scramble
    Strenuous 1-5, Technical 1-5
    Winter Scramble
    Strenuous 1-5, Technical 1-5, Winter Scramble
    Cross-Country Ski
    G-XC1-4 Groomed, U-XC1-4 Ungroomed
    Basic Snowshoe
    Easy, Moderate, Strenuous, Very Strenuous
    Intermediate Snowshoe
    Easy, Moderate, Strenuous, Very Strenuous
    Backcountry Ski
    M1 Intermediate, M2 Advanced, M2G Advanced Glacier, M3 Expert, M3G Expert Glacier
    Bikepacking
    Easy, Moderate, Strenuous, Very Strenuous
    Basic Rock Climb
    Strenuous 1-5, Technical 1-5
    Basic Glacier Climb
    Strenuous 1-5, Technical 1-5
    Sea Kayak
    Sea Kayak I-VI
    Trail Running
    Easy, Moderate, Strenuous, Very Strenuous, Ultra, Advanced Ultra 1, Advanced Ultra 2

    Opt 1 - Template: Internally, this would mean that the template object would need a new field called “Difficulty Tags” (or something) that would include all of the possible difficulties. When creating a trip, the “Difficulty” field would work the same as it does today, except that the list of tags you are allowed to add is restricted to the possible difficulties from the activity template, rather than the global list it looks at today.

    Opt 2 - Activity Type: The above would require each activity template to have the difficulty field set the same. For example, all three Snowshoe activity templates would require you to go in and set the difficulty values to the same labels for each template. It might be more convenient to leverage the “Activity Type” field to get the list of possible labels. In that way, since all three snowshoe templates are already marked as “Snowshoeing” activity types, you would just need to associate “Snowshoeing” with the relevant tags to get the validation, and you would not need a template-specific list (instead you’d need a table linking activity type to the allowed tags).

    On trips, make Difficulty a required field and, in cases where there are multiple potential activities, do not attempt to set any default value. This will force leaders to put something here. An exception here would be when the place listing only has one difficulty rating (for example, a peak is only ever a scramble peak, so the default scramble rating is fine, or a sea kayak trip), but any place where there are a bunch of labels, they should probably be removed as the Difficulty default and moved into the route description, like this example from the website: Pinnacle, Plummer, Denman, Lane & The Castle — The Mountaineers

    This also makes sense given that many places have a bunch of routes that you select from the “Alternate Names” dropdown, and the odds that the default difficulty is correct for all of those routes is… low.

    An alternative you could consider would be to allow the difficulty field to remain for multi-activity types, but to prune the list when the template is used to erase any labels that don’t match the activity template or activity type.

    For example, consider Amabilis Mountain, which has labels for backcountry skiing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.

    Difficulty: M1 Intremediate Ski, Strenuous, G-XC 4 Advanced Groomed, U-XC 3 Intermediate Ungroomed
    Depending on the template I use to post this, by cross referencing this field allowed value, I will get a different result, because any label that’s not in the allow list for the activity type would be removed.

    Snowshoe
    Strenuous
    Backcountry Ski
    M1 Intremediate Ski
    Cross-Country Ski
    U-XC 3 Intermediate Ungroomed, G-XC 4 Advanced Groomed

    While it’s still not perfect–cross-country ski still ends up with two default labels–it’s going to be more accurate overall than what someone would see today, which is just all four labels.

    While there is a link to “Activity Overviews” for this field, it would be nice if the template could have a custom link to the activity-specific page. For example, the Alpine Scramble and Winter Scramble templates would link to (Scrambling — The Mountaineers).

    Summary
    To require the fewest changes for maintainers, my recommendation would be:
    Associate the “Activity-Type” label with a list of “Allowed Difficulty” tags and make the dropdown for the “Difficulty” field look at the allowed tags. If there are multiple activity types, then union the list of allowed tags.
    Make “Difficulty” a required field (i.e. cannot be blank).
    Leave all default values alone. When a trip is posted from a template, validate the default values against the allowed difficulty tags and remove any that aren’t allowed. If the activity type is changed, re-validate and update the Difficulty field (for example, if I change Amabilis from a snowshoe to backcountry ski, the difficulty field should auto-update from Strenuous to M1 Intremediate Ski by virtue of the validation).
    Add the activity-specific link to the trip template (this is nice-to-have, but absolute lowest priority).

13. People Search

    This was spawned off from an existing thread:
    https://feedback.mountaineers.org/forums/273688-general-feedback/suggestions/37230223-integrate-fuzzy-logic-to-text-search-gh2837

    It was clear that "fuzzy search" as implemented there did not translate into a good people search experience.

    BACKGROUND

    Currently, the only way to search for members (contacts) is through the sitewide search mechanism. While we have dedicated search pages for "Find Activities", "Find Routes & Places" and "Find Courses, Clinics & Seminars", we have no such dedicated page for finding members. Your options are to either find them on some roster you have access to or to rely on the sitewide search.

    The problem is that the general sitewide search is not tuned to finding people, and when applied in this use case, it does a terrible job unless you get the member's name (first and last) EXACTLY right.

    Examples:
    "Travis Prescot" Finds ZERO hits, even though the most logical result should be "Travis Prescott"
    https://www.mountaineers.org/search#SearchableText=Travis+Prescot&b_start=0&type=mtneers.contact

    "Danielle G" returns a whole lot of "Dan"s and "Daniel"s, most of which don't have a last name starting with G, and few "Danielle"s.
    https://www.mountaineers.org/search#SearchableText=Danielle+G&b_start=0&type=mtneers.contact

    This can be improved by putting a wildcard after the G
    "Danielle G" still returns a bunch of "Dan"s and "Daniel"s but more "Danielle"s and at least most of the last names actually start with G! However, the average user of the website is NOT going to know how to use wildcards in search, so this is not a workable solution.
    https://www.mountaineers.org/search#SearchableText=Danielle+G&b_start=0&type=mtneers.contact

    And finally, an exact search for "Danielle Graham" returns me two results, both with this name, but the top search result has no information whatsoever.
    https://www.mountaineers.org/search#SearchableText=Danielle+Graham&b_start=0&type=mtneers.contact

    Bottom line, all of these non-exact search results are awful, and the exact search result could be improved.

    REQUEST

    Please add a "Find Members" search page that is tuned, optimized and tailored to finding members.

    Assume wildcards--we should never force users to put them (it's a techy trick that is not intuitive to regular users). That means if I put "Daniell" it should match "Danielle" but NOT "Dan", "Daniel" or anything else.

    In terms of the number of actual search fields, one is ideal, but only if it actually produces good results. If it doesn't then consider having multiple search fields:

    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Email
    • Username

    Right now the general search field works for email and username ONLY if they are exact (otherwise it turns up nothing) but has serious problems generating rational results with a single search for first and last name.

    Since the search is specific to people, it should have facets relevant to finding people.

    • Checkbox for "Show expired members" (should default to off)
    • Checkbox for "Show guest members" (default to on?)
    • Multicheckbox for Branch affiliation
    • Committee Affiliation ("tag" style field where you type and it autocomplets)

    This was spawned off from an existing thread:

14. Exportable PDF Feedback Reports

    BACKGROUND

    I have the ability to see my feedback history. As a committee admin I have the ability to see a portion of the feedback history for anyone who has led a trip for my committee. I cannot see the feedback history for someone who has led trips for some other committee.

    USE CASE

    As a Leadership Chair for various committees (current and past) I review leadership applications. Often these prospective leaders are already leaders for another branch and/or committee. As part of the feedback gathering process, it is important for me as the Leadership Chair to gather as much relevant feedback as possible.

    This includes soliciting direct feedback from references listed in the application, open comment from our committee, and a review of the prospective leader's Participation Notes. It also should include review of any feedback the leader has received over time from trip participants.

    What I have had to do in the past is email committee chairs and ask them to review the feedback and provide a qualitative assessment. What I would prefer is to simply be able to review all of the feedback directly, without bothering the committee chairs. Participant feedback is imperfect, but valuable.

    What I would like is a system where:

    1) The member can export their feedback history (filtered using existing filters) directly to a PDF they can submit to me directly

    2) I can request such a PDF export of feedback from staff

    Ultimately, regardless of the mechanism to obtain, the key component is that feedback can be exported. It would be great to export the graphs first, followed by the comments, exactly how it is on the website.

    I uploaded an example (created using Camtasia)

    BACKGROUND

    I have the ability to see my feedback history. As a committee admin I have the ability to see a portion of the feedback history for anyone who has led a trip for my committee. I cannot see the feedback history for someone who has led trips for some other committee.

    USE CASE

    As a Leadership Chair for various committees (current and past) I review leadership applications. Often these prospective leaders are already leaders for another branch and/or committee. As part of the feedback gathering process, it is important for me as the Leadership Chair to gather as much… more

15. Provide a way to tell if leader has unread feedback

    Currently, there is no indication if a participant has submitted feedback after a leader has viewed the feedback. Personally, I check for feedback a few days after the activity, and if someone adds feedback after that I probably won’t ever see it.

    This idea is moving to proposed. This request is technically possible and will be considered for prioritization if 1) it gains additional following or 2) can easily be added to a prioritized roster change request.

16. Add a menu option for "My Committees"

    Currently users can get to their committee pages by going to "My Profile" and clicking on the appropriate link. This works fine for experienced website users. The logical place to look for your committees is through the "My Branch" page, but this is tedious and requires scrolling through all the committees and subgroups in the branch. Please add a menu option for "My Committees" that will take all users directly to a list of their committees (or even to the section of their profile with the links).

17. Course-Activity Late Cancellation Management

    We have noticed that students are able to cancel from course-related activities after registration has closed. Some volunteers have requested a website improvement that would either prevent cancellations after registration date is closed, or better allow volunteers to manage this process. No-shows and late-cancellations have a big impact on volunteers' ability to successfully run programs.

    Our tech team identified that the ability to cancel after registration closes is not a glitch, but rather, has always been the way the website has operated. Currently roster email notifications can be used to manage when students cancel from an activity roster, but this does not prevent the late cancellations.

    Further testing will be required, but it looks like there may not be any warning sign or indication for students cancelling from the "manage registration' pop out window that the registration period has closed. On the activity page, however, there is text that indicates that the registration has closed, and to contact the leader to be added/removed from the roster. After the close date, it is no longer possible to sign up from the "manage registration" pop out.

    Ideally we'd like to find a solution that balances the importance of supporting our volunteer leaders while also making it easy (and continuing to provide education and training) for our members to participate.

    In Progress  ·  AdminDevin Lampe (Technical Experience Manager, The Mountaineers) responded

    This idea, Course-Activity Late Cancellation Management, is moving into "In Progress" as we begin some testing/development to find a solution that will prevent registered participants from cancelling (unchecking the checkbox in manage registration) once the activity registration date has closed. As mentioned in the description, if someone IS registered for an activity it is currently set to ignore the registration close date on the checkbox functionality. It is our hope the solution is straight forward by removing this exception rule for registered individuals and disabling the checkbox after registration closes.

18. Stop stripping line breaks from Leader Permission request comments section

    Most people (myself included) when entering information for the leader in the permission request comment box, make an effort to format it as cleanly as possible with line breaks to organize provided information.

    However, the code appears to strip all these line breaks from the text and drop a super messy blob of text in the request email that comes to leaders. This makes the leader's job unnecessarily harder because we have to mentally parse the blob back into the requester's intended presentation.

    Could we please stop stripping the line breaks and preserve the intended format?

19. demographics updates

    I noticed that my demographic in my member profile had the wrong age group (unfortunately I continue to age). I only noticed it because I've been doing website testing today. Maybe there can be a prompt (or even a forcing function) for members to review their entire profile including preferences and demographics annually, as I'm sure other things change for members as well (marital status, activity interests, student status, etc). Maybe a button to go along with the waiver that forces them to scroll through their profile and select "I have reviewed and updated my profile" or something like that.

20. Add "Submit Incident Report" to Lodge stays

    Add incident reporting button to lodge stays. Lodges have their own inherent dangers, like falling out of bunks, falling down stairs, sliding down hills out of control, or having a bench fall over on someone's foot while she vacuums.

    This idea is moving to "In Progress". This is one of the ideas our internal development working group will try and accomplish once we have our development environments set-up by the end of this month! The goal would be to have completed by April.
