Organizations, Online Invoicing & Contracts SD562++
Set up organization in our website so that we can sync them to the existing organizations in SF. This will allow us to connect contacts, activities & courses (Mountain Workshops), events (Program Center Clients) and lodge stays (Outdoor Center Groups & Clients) to them for better tracking. We'll be able to add invoices that the organization contact can pay online, taking advantage of our existing online payment process and Salesforce reporting.

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.

Allow Leaders to Choose Activity Template or Route/Place Image for Activities SD641
When scheduling an activity, allow the leader to choose to use one of the the route/place images, the activity template image, or an image from their local computer.
Notes:
Currently when scheduling a trip (standalone) activity, the one form the route/place is the default and the leader may choose to replace that with one from their computer. For course activities, the default image is from the activity template, and the leader may choose to replace that with one from their computer.
Many of our Routes & Places have an "Images" folder where we store images submitted by our members and…
4 votesHello All!
I wanted to reach out to see what the missing need here is for changing images on activities/courses. I realize this idea is from 2017 so it is very possible that this need has been met already and I just need to update this idea. The website today allows you to change the image of an activity or course from the template/route. For activities, the image can be changed by selecting a picture from your computer under 'Summary'. For courses, a similar option is underneath registration dates. You could then change the image to represent a specific season/boat/etc.
If it is of interest, we could also work together to add additional images/details about each skipper's boat on a separate page.

Lodge-specific Sign-in Sheets (aka Print Rosters) SD648/649/650
For a two-night stay, what we have may be enough, but for longer stays a matrix-style sign-in sheet might be better. Or it may be better if we have a different printable sign-in sheet for each lodge.

Use "Age Group" Radio Buttons Instead of "Age" for Lodge Reservations SD637
Is it better to use radio buttons for the age groups [i.e. one for Adults (age 14+) and another for Youth (age 13-)] when reserving a lodge stay than asking for actual age? What are the pros and cons?
Using radio buttons is better when one person is making a lodge reservation for another and does not know their age. I suspect with will happen a lot, especially for lodge admins who add hosts and other volunteers, as well as people who might bring a friend.

Lodge Reservation Dietary Notes Improvement
The following is from Mary Ann Cameron, a life time member of the Mountaineers. She works at Rick Steve's Europe Through the Back Door. Rich Steve's had a lot of trouble meeting the diets of their tour members so they now ask only for medical dietary restrictions. This substantially reduced their problems and they have had minimal complaints. In the paperwork you fill out when you sign up for one of his tours the only question pertaining to diet is: “
MEDICAL DIETARY RESTRICTIONS (things that will make you ill).
If Rick Steves can send 20,000 tourists each year to…

Allow Members on Waitlist to sign up for Additional Outings
The system currently does not allow members to sign up for more than one outing. If you are on a waitlist, particularly if you are third or more on that list, I think the system should allow you to also sign up for another trip as backup. It seems unfair to force members to give up a potential spot on their preferred trip only to confirm on less preferred trip simply because of the system. Thank you.

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.

Ability to see 'what trips i have done with this person'
It would be great if I could look up a person, and see the trips i've done with them in the past, along with their badges. So many times, we end up playing the 'i've been out with you somewhere. were you on my Norse Peak trip? no? may be on Snoqualmie last year then?' :)
29 votesHello All - While there is no change in status for this idea, I wanted provide a progress update on this highly voted for idea and where we are at in evaluating our options. While we understand the value in having this functionality built into the website's user interface when looking at another member's profile, this would be a significant development effort which has made it difficult to prioritize. In the meantime, we are exploring alternative ways that members could still answer the question "What trips i have done with this person?".

Create More Robust Safety Committee Data Analysis SD52/465/466
Currently, participants submit incident reports to the Safety Committee, which then compiles the data and looks for trends in the aggregate (it does a lot more than that as well, but this aspect of its work is onerous). If we connected incident reporting with routes/places and even illustrated on a map, committees could analyze trends and information much more rapidly and wouldn't have to wait for Safety Committee reports. Safety Committee efforts could then be more available for training and prevention work now that the data crunching burden has been reduced. Members and Leaders could then have information about incident…

Tailor receipt (thank you) page messages to items purchased SD344
Add six rich text fields to the Thank You page for each of these item types: membership, course, activity, book, merchandise, donation. Each field would be displayed if the shopping cart contains and item of its type.

Additional Search Functions: Sorting SD504
for activity listings allow user to sort by destination, leader, availability and allow sorts in ascending or descending order
7 votesHello All -
We are following up on UV Ideas and was wondering if those who submitted or voted for this idea could elaborate on the exact fields they ideally would like to sort by and the benefit they would receive from that sort option. This will help us better understand the priority and the level of development effort this idea would have. Each element we include in a filter or a sort adds additional development effort.
Example - "I would like the option to sort by registration deadline date to understand what activities I need to consider signing up for soon."
Thanks!

Add a trip plan upload and PLB checkbox
Add the ability to upload a "trip plan" to an activity. In addition, we would like a checkbox that indicates if the trip party is planning to carry a PLB. The ability to upload a trip plan is priority #1, and the PLB checkbox is priority #2 (if it is not a lot of additional work).

Add a Cancellation Closing Date to Lodge Stays
Lodges need a minimum number of guests to open and must decide by Thursdays at noon whether to open for the weekend. After this point, the decision is made and to open and funds for food has been committed. But we can often handle more reservations, see we need to be able to keep reservations open longer, but prevent cancellations and refunds from being processed after the go/no go decision point.

Prevent Recursion & Cycles in Bundled Lodge Stays
[Kevin] A bundled night has a "qualifying purchase" and an "add-on".
You should not be able to chain bundled nights together. This is pretty easy to fix: If a relationship exists, show it on both. The relationship should only be editable from the add-on item, and should be displayed in a read-only manner on the qualifying purchaser.Friday 1/6 (editable) -> Saturday1/7 (read-only)
Saturday1/7 -> Friday 1/14 <--- not allowed, b/c Saturday 1/7 has a relationship already
Friday 1/14 -> Friday 1/6 <---- not allowed, b/c Friday 1/6 has a relationship already[Jeff} There are probably two parts to this:

Update Billing Info for Automatic Renewal
The billing info associated with autorenewal payments is not getting updated in tandem with the user’s profile. Let's tweak the process to update the autorenewal billing info whenever the profile is updated, or at least give users the option to also update their billing info when they update their payment card info.
