When regional chairs offer to help a member with something, follow through!
I have a road trip to Zion coming up and would have liked to post as global activity. I have been a member for only one year so was unable to post. Tacoma Branch Chair offered to help any way he could and though I reached out twice, I received no follow through. Suggest:
1. Changing rules for activity posts so those who have experience and good activities can communicate to others who may be interested in participating.
2. If you are a in a lead position (regional chair) and offer your assistance, follow through to your membership community. It…1 voteChris corresponded with you about these issues. Please let us knwo if you need anything more.

Leaders of a committee should be able to access old course rosters
From Dennis Miller via info@mountaineers.org
It appears that courses expire which means they don't show up under the course template unless you are course admin.
1 voteCommittee admins can see all courses. If a person needs to work with historical courses, they should be a committee admin.

Enhance promo code limits GH1111
As discussed, can you please talk to David about adding a “max use” requirement for our Promo Code. Right now you can add a maximum use per person, but not per code. Meaning you can only use a code once, but then you could give me the code and I could use it (also only once).
Ideally we’d like to create a requirement for promo codes so they can only be used once (in the case of gift membership) which means we don’t’ ever need to go back in and add an expiration date, as it will expire once it…

Fix message in blue roster tab
When you aren't listed as a participant for a leader or a trip it currently says Log in to see roster even if you are logged in. We need the text to say "Only participants of the trip can view other members on the roster. "

Improve Drill Down Navigation in Left Side Bar
I waste a lot of time navigating up and down the hierarchy page-by-page. Certainly, the breadcrumbs and the navigation tree in the left side bar are a great help for more effecient navigation.
Unfortunately, the left sidebar is somewhat limited because at certain levels the expand/collapse arrows no longer work. For example,when you encounter "committees", you cannot drill down further. Instead, you must move your attention to the body of the page and choose a committee from there. Then the hierarchy in the side bar miraculously expands and you can continue drilling down from there. (Until you reach another committees…
1 voteAs you noted, one can now drill down at the committee level. We cannot do this for the branch “home page” because branches requested a home page style that did NOT include the left navigation panel. You do get the lefty navigation back once you’ve gone to the Branch News, Courses & Activities or About Us page.

We recently added a “resources” capability to our Routes & Places. We can use it to add appropriate links to Peak Bagger. See the “Enhanced Trip Navigation Resources” blog post at https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/enhanced-trip-navigation-resources.
We can also link to the Peak Bagger Club lists in our Award (aka Peak Pin) Badges at https://www.mountaineers.org/membership/badges/award-badges/all.

Preview Activity before saving
There should be a way to preview an activity before submitting it. Currently one saves and then edits (submitted by Henry Romer during Focus Groups).
1 voteLeaders can change their trip to Private state which is a “review” state. When an activity is private it will still show up in a leader’s My Activities area but not in the search area for the general public.
We chose to make activities automatically published because that is what most leaders requested, especially because you can specify open and close registration dates. And you can always go in and edit your activity.

Download Roster: Have option to download only those selected GH1132
Right now the download roster brings everyone on the list, it would be cool to be able to select a portion of the roster and download this portion for management for all rosters (committee, course and activity). - Suggestion from Focus Groups

Create Volunteering "interests and skills" checklists SD187/188/189/283/317
One of the quickest ways to match organization needs with membership talent is to identify what skills are needed and what skills potential volunteers are willing to offer. When such postings are put on the website on the "Get Involved as a Volunteer" webpage (https://www.mountaineers.org/volunteers/get-involved-as-a-volunteer), we have YET not to have someone come forward and offer to help out. If your profile page allowed you to report your interests and skills, The Mountaineers could more specifically target recruitment efforts to people who are most likely to like the work being offered. It's a fundamental part of ensuring that…

Bring Trip Feedback Survey onto Mountaineers.org and include course surveys SD31/38
President Dan Lauren created a trip survey mechanism that operates through a different platform than Mountaineers.org but which provides invaluable information for Leaders about how their trips were viewed. It would be great to make this information easier for Leaders to see on Mountaineers.org rather than another platform with a different log-in. This could then be expanded to courses and allowing committees to analyze feedback from students efficiently through the website as well.

Create a UI for staff to process membership dues
Staff have a 21-step manual process for processing dues paid by check currently. We need a better user-interface and process for this system since a large portion of dues still come via snail mail.

Fix Rolling Enrollment Date Structure
Make sure that you can set up a course for rolling enrollment that then closes after the course end date so if you have 8 workshops under one course header for 2014 you can start over in 2015 with a new course and 8 new field trips that don't get rolled into one. This helps avoid huge course rosters to maintain.

Hide Cancelled activities from Default Find Activities View
Is it possible to add a flag in the Activities View that would hide all cancelled activities. It would be nice even if all cancelled activities were hidden automatically unless you set a checkbox to "Show Cancelled Activities".

Streamline waitlist registration for course related field trips
Right now if you are registered for one field trip but on the waitlist for another and get off the waitlist you are not automatically removed from the other roster. Ideally there would be some sort of notice reminding the person to cancel off their other list or some sort of automation.
-Submitted by Chris Williams1 voteWe added info to the confirmation emails instructing students to check their roster statuses before confirming the new course registration.
