  1. Add Satellite Number to Print Roster

    It would be helpful to add the new Satellite Number field to the Print Roster view. Right now, it shows up only on the Download Roster view.

  2. Create "add to calendar" link in registration confirmation email

    A link for iCal or google calendar so that when registrants get a confirmation email they can immediately put it on their personal calendar. Primarily thinking about events, but would be great for trips too!

    Hello All -

    This idea is changing to "In Progress" as we have made progress towards adding more calendar options! We have completed step 1 of this project by adding iCal and Google Calendar links to all activities and events on the website (see activity/event landing page for details). Step 2 will be adding these links to registration emails which we hope to complete soon. Once that is complete, this task will be marked as completed.

  3. 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…

    This idea is moving to in progress! We are working to build out a member specific search page which will provide a place where members can 1) Search for members using a test search that uses wildcards automatically 2) Filters for membership status 3) Filters for branch. Depending on its adoption we can increase the features to include committee affiliation but that is more complicated.

  4. 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…

    Hello All -

    This idea is changing to "In Progress" as we have made progress towards adding more calendar options! I want to note that the final solution we are implementing differs from the original request as there is no singular course "activity" download customized to a particular person - but all course activities (and regular activities) now have iCal and Google Calendar links shown on their landing page. This will allow someone to add this activity to their calendar regardless of their participation status.

    Our next step is to include these easy calendar links to our registration emails. Once that is done we will mark this task as complete.

  5. Add Pronoun Field to Rosters

    We not only want people to be comfortable being themselves, but also to be celebrated for their identities and what makes them unique. In addition, we try to build a culture where we don’t make assumptions or pass judgment on each other. So if a person chooses to tell you their pronouns (in their profile or otherwise), they are simply letting you know how you can refer to them, without you having to make any assumptions.

    Part 1 - Add pronoun field to profile edit form and profile display.

    Part 2 - Add pronoun field to roster displays and downloads.

    This idea is moving to in progress! This will involve 1) cleaning up our pronoun data where needed 2) communications about this change and 3) updates to many of our rosters. I will share any critical updates to this channel.

    Keep up to date with web changes by checking out our technology changelog!

    We have expanded our staff and volunteer development capacity and encourage our members and volunteers to continue to provide ideas. It is ideas like this one that help us improve the site for all!

  6. Add "Applied" as a Registration Status Option for Activities

    This idea is moving to in progress and shifting from focusing on course applications to leadership permission requests. This plan is for those who apply for leaders permission will be added to the roster as "applied" with a link to their permission request stored in registration notes. This will allow 1) coleaders and mentors to all work together on these requests 2) ensure these requests are organized somewhere for leaders other than just email 3) allow users to keep track of what they have applied for and 4) allow for us to better understand application behavior across the club.
    If…
