1. STOP Allowing Registration to Occur Before Registration Begins

   Field Trips are full before registration date. Wtf? This makes registration dates pointless!!! As a new Scrambling student I’m patiently waiting for field registration to begin only to realize they are full prior to registration. Members are fine getting leader’s permission but should have to wait till the registration is open to register not before.

   We provide leader training in our new leader orientation and leadership development programs, in our online resources, and in our Leader Lines email newsletter to address this issue.

2. Improve Activity Edit Form (sea kayak fields plus pace)

   We re-ordered fields to make more sense when listing the activity. Improved and added help text to some of the fields.

   We added three fields for kayakers, maximum wind, maximum waves and maximum current. We also added a free form field for pace of the activity.

3. Please create two "outdoor leadership" activity types ~Salesforce

   In order to track what the mountaineers does in terms of outdoor leadership, we would like two activity types:

   Leader Development - Leadership Skills
   Leader Development - Technical Skills

   Below is the email thread for background:
   Here’s a really quick stab at some language, for nothing else than to give us something to edit:

   Leadership Skills
   - May or may not be activity-specific.
   - May or may not have a focus on outdoor leadership.

   - Emphasis on facilitation, instruction, and/or group leadership.

   Technical Skills
   - Activity-specific.
   - Skill development in activity that this person leads or aspires to lead. (Not quite sure how to word this, but trying to differentiate something like Canmore from the Basic Climbing Course.)
   - May have an emphasis on incident management or activity-specific rescue techniques.

   Subject: "outdoor leadership" activity type

   Hi folks,

   As we were talking about tracking participation in Outdoor Leadership activities, we decided we would like two categories:
   Leader Development – Leadership Skills
   Leader Development – Technical Skills

   Two questions, probably both for Tess:
   1. I was trying to utilize our current “Outdoor Leadership” type to edit and categorize courses and activities appropriately from 2017 so I could run a report for Elizabeth… For courses, it happens at the course template level and it works great. I created a report: https://na88.salesforce.com/00O1Y0000074Meh that’s saved in the Volunteers folder. We’ll likely have to do an annual data clean-up to make sure we aren’t missing any that aren’t tagged correctly, but I did that for 2017. For Activities, at the template level there is only a single-select. At the Activity level, you can multiselect, however there is help language discouraging this (and the help language is good I think). Is there a reason we can’t get a multi-select activity type at the template level? That would lead to much less year-end data clean-up.
   2. What is the process by which we change the existing “outdoor leadership” course type to “leader development – leadership skills” and add a “leader development – technical skills”?

   Steve/Sara – we should have some definitions.
   Eg –
   Canmore Ice Climbing is clearly LD – Technical Skills
   Mick Pearson – LD – Technical Skills and LD – Leadership Skills
   Leadership Conference – LD – Leadership Skills
   Everett Instructors Clinic – LD – Leadership Skills and LD – Technical Skills
   WRMC – LD – Leadership Skills? Or do we track this with some other method because it is not a mounties only thing?
   ACA Trainings – LD – Leadership Skills and LD – Technical Skills? Or do we track this with some other method?

   In some cases, we are charging people to participate and in others we are paying for them to participate. Do we care?

   For now we can at least get the two categories going and the definitions written.

4. Reclassify Snowshoe Routes and Trips Using New S/T Rating System ~WebsiteContent

   This posting is the result of 1) a few years of cross-branch discussions among the Snowshoe Programs of the various branches, and 2) email discussions with the Program Center about how to go about changing the rating system used to classify Snowshoe trips. The feedback we received from the Program Center was that the correct way to document our request for changing the website was to post the changed to feedback.mountaineers.org.

   The Snowshoe Programs of the various branches would like to change the way that Snowshoe Routes and Trips are rated so that each route/trip has a separate Strenuous and Technical rating - this is of course the same technique used by scrambles and climbs. A final version of the new rating scheme was presented at the Snowshoe Summit held on October 9 and approved unanimously by all branches. The proposal document includes the rationale for the change, and can be viewed here:

5. Leader "Difficulty" Rating Default to Blank GH2331

   Currently when listing a new activity, the "Leader Rating" field defaults to "For Beginners (Getting Started Series)" There are cases where a trip is NOT for beginners, but the leader never changed their rating. Can the Leader Rating default to blank, and require the leader to select one of the options rather than default to For Beginners?

   Make it so comments on trip reports, blog posts, etc. send an email to the person who posted the trip report so they can respond and have a dialogue about conditions. We'll also need a way to opt out of this email.

   Note: If the commenter shared their profile their name is a link that will provide their email address.

   We have added new notifications that will email the blog author or trip reporter when a new comment or comment reply has occurred on their trip/blog! This was made possibly by altering our notification rules on the website and did not require any new website development. We ensured documentation was updated so that people are aware of this change and how to disable a discussion if they do not want notifications.

7. Add Title Choices to Routes & Places for Use with Activities GH1476

   To make it easier to better title activities where the route place has broadly varying options and alternatives, provide a list of alternate location names that may be used.

   Specifically, when scheduling an activity allow the leader to choose an alternate title from an "Alternate Route/Place Title" list that is populated from a route/place "Route/Place Titles for Activity Titles" list.

   Here's an example:

   For a scramble of "Silver, Tinkham & Abiel Peaks," https://www.mountaineers.org/explore/routes-places/silver-tinkham-abiel-peaks, the activity title currently is and by default after implementing this idea would be:

   Alpine Scramble - Silver, Tinkham & Abiel Peaks

   Alternate activity titles with a choice of alternative route/place titles could be:
   Alpine Scramble - Silver Peak
   Alpine Scramble - Tinkham Peak
   Alpine Scramble - Abiel Peak
   Alpine Scramble - Silver & Tinkham Peaks
   Alpine Scramble - Silver & Abiel Peaks
   Alpine Scramble - Tinkham & Abiel Peaks

   One of the important functions of our Routes & Places is ensuring that we don't have multiple Mountaineers groups at the same place so this allows that conflict check to happen but also allows leaders to be more specific about where they are going and have the activity title accurately reflect that.

   -------------------- Additional Info ----------------------------

   An activity’s title is made from the activity template title and the route/place title. All of these titles are meant to be brief, simple and consistent across our website. If and when we implement the alternate route/place name feature, we have to keep the alternate titles brief, simple and consistent too. And the Route/Place title is only a geographic name. It purposefully conveys nothing about what one might do there. Any alternate route/place titles must too be just geographic names. We leave the what we're going to do to the to the Activity Template and activity's Summary.

   The places for creativity about everything you plan to do go in the activity’s Summary and Leader’s Notes. Also remember that we show the first bit of the activity’s Summary in the activity search listings, so it is very much like a subtitle (lots more words allowed!).

   See the attached image file of the an activity search result to see how this looks "in action."

   We now have the ability to have alternate titles for routes/places that have a couple different destinations but all use the same access and thus we wouldn’t want two different Mountaineers groups there on the same day.

   An example is Snow & Gem Lakes. This trip can now simply be titled Gem Lake or Snow & Gem Lakes. Or if you are only climbing Tinkham and Silver Peaks you can now pick just those two peaks even though the listing has Silver, Abiel & Tinkham Peaks.

   The ability to switch to an alternate title is in the Route/Place tab when you are in the activity edit form while scheduling or editing an activity. It’s the same place you’d edit the date or choose a new route/place for the activity.

   Please note that this alternate title is not supposed to replace the summary. For example the title is not Gem Lake Summer Swim. The “summer swim” part is activity specific so should still remain in the summary and/or leader’s notes section of the activity.

   If you know of routes/places where we need to add alternate titles please email the name of and link to the route/place along with your suggested alternative titles to us at info@mountaineers.org. Note that you also have the option to add these alternate titles when you are requesting a new route/place online.

8. The doors are closed to most of us.

   Publish lists of truly open events where organizers are not micromanaging who can attend. The list will be incredibly short. Others have commented on this and per usual someone with 'official authority' to do so deleted their thoughts and suggestions. This is absurd, rude, and asinine. The arrogance demonstrated is remarkable. The issue stands. There are painfully few outings available (particularly for Basic Climbing Grads) to participate in. This does not feel like a club at all, but a set of tight cliques that are energetically guarded.

   Hi Douglas,

   You are not alone in your frustration about the limited number of climbs for basic grads. In fact I’d encourage you to read this thread and comment on it which discusses this same issue so you can better understand the climb leader’s perspective as well

   http://feedback.mountaineers.org/forums/272594-leaders/suggestions/6939679-future-activity-sign-up-dates-modifying-registrat

   I am closing this feedback item because we are trying to make sure their aren’t duplicates of the same item. The issue you brought up is incredibly important and was actually discussed recently by the managing committee.

   The Managing Committee met on April 30, 2015 and decided to take no action on the issue right now. Central issues that contribute to these frustrations that they identified were a shortage of leaders and the various legitimate needs for pre-filling a roster that should not be disrupted. However, they decided that working on increasing the leader base and monitoring frustrations related to this issue should be prioritized by all committees. A link to the meeting minutes are available here:

   https://www.mountaineers.org/about/board-of-directors/committees/mountaineers-board-of-directors/mountaineers-managing-committee/managing-committee-meeting-minutes/4-30-15-mc-minutes

   I encourage you to comment on the thread I posted above and feel free to contact the managing committee with your thoughts. I also encourage you to reach out to the climbing committee chairs. Let me know if I can provide those emails for you or you can find them yourself if you go to our branches and committees pages.

   I’d also encourage you as a basic grad to consider volunteering as an instructor for some of our basic field trips because it is a great way to meet more people within the mountaineers climbing community who are also posting climbs.

   I know this isn’t a perfect solution but this is an issue that both staff and volunteer leadership are working on addressing and we encourage any specific solutions you may have to be added to the feedback thread above.

   Sincerely,

9. Fix Required Input Needed error on roster GHtbd

   When you are trying to add someone to the roster it often spits back a "Required Input Needed" error even when you have entered someone's name or email correctly. Fortunately you can just hit Save and override error message but its confusing for new leaders.

    A long time coming, but this is finally complete. The Activity, Course, and Event edit forms now all have a “Led by Staff” checkbox that is synced to Salesforce. Sara and decided that we do not need the history, and getting it accurately seemed nearly impossible, given that most of us have led as both staff and a volunteer.

12. Make it easier to view past Participation Notes for all Participants on a Roster GH2763

    From the activity roster it would be helpful to have a quick link to go participation notes. Right now its about 4 clicks from the activity to view someone's participation notes. This is tedious to do for 12 people on a roster. Viewing participation notes is helpful for trip planning and ensuring safety of a trip and mitigate any negative group dynamics.

13. Change map when destination is changed GH2018

    When a trip leader changes the destination [route/place] for an existing trip [activity], the map coordinates [GPS Start and End points] don't change. They should probably change to the new destination [route/place].

    [I think we also missed high point when adding and editing an activity. We should add that too when we do this.]

    Hi Jerry,

    We’ve added a note on the Mt. Olympus route/place listing that the middle summit is missing a register and that registers are available at the Seattle Program Center.

    We are also able to mail paper registers to people who aren’t able to stop by the program center and have their own summit tupperware or other watertight container. Email info@mountaineers.org if you have a summit attempt booked and want a register.

16. Add ability to adjust map zoom level on location tab GH2513

    We are working on fixing Routes & Places that should have their GPS Start and End points farther apart or have no end point, so the zoom is correct based on having two points displayed on the map.

    If you find one that looks odd, please send a link to that route/place to info@mountaineers.org or use our Route/Place Updates form, https://www.mountaineers.org/activities/route-place-updates-images-resources.

17. Have leader's permission emails indicate whether assistant leader or participant

    As a trip leader it'd would be nice if the permission request emails specify in the subject whether the request is for a participant or an assistant leader. This way the leader could handle emails differently, i.e. use different email rules, or simply, trying to make sure they have enough leaders earlier than accepting participants. Maybe a drop-down for the type of request or separate links would be a solution - i.e., "click here to request permission as participant" and "click here to request permission as leader"

    It was easy enough to add a question to the request, there does not seem to be any downside, and there are a few activity types where assistant leaders register themselves, so this is done.

18. Make it so the alpine scramble template can't be chosen during the winter months

    During the winter months, roughly October 15 - April 15, we require that trips must be listed as "Winter Scramble" rather than "Alpine Scramble", this is because different badges are required for scrambling during the winter months. Unfortunately, from time-to-time a leader accidentally lists the trip as Alpine Scramble, allowing people to register who should not be qualified.

    Is there any way to prevent the listing of "Alpine Scramble" trips during winter months, so only the "Winter Scramble" is allowed?

    We re-ordered the activity templates in the activity scheduling process drop down, so “Alpine Scrambling” and “Winter Scramble” are next to each other, so leaders can easily choose the correct template.

    Winter scrambles are conditions and weather dependent so a fixed set of dates is not as flexible as this.

19. Make it possible to use the cursor keys within all text fields when creating or editing an activity.

    When setting up and/or editing an activity, it is possible to move the cursor about inside the "Summary" filed but not in the "Meeting Place and Time" and "Required Equipment" fields. As a result, it is very frustrating to enter or correct information in the online activity form.

    In other words, when pressing the ⬅️➡️⬆️or ⬇️ keys on my keyboard, the cursor will move accordingly inside the text field "Summary" as one would expect with a normal word processing function.

    But in the "Meeting Place and Time" and "Required Equipment" fields, pressing these same ⬅️➡️⬆️or ⬇️ keyboard cursor control keys causes the cursor to immediatly leave the field and fly to the bottom of the web form.

    It seems that some attribute of the "Summary" field allows for normal cursor operation within the field. That same attribute seems to be missing from the "Meeting Place and Time" and "Required Equipment" fields, such that a cursor key press causes the cursor to fly to the bottom of the web form.

    Last fall, we upgrade our rich text field editing interface. Hopefully, that and perhaps some Apple iOS updates have fixed this issue. If not, please send an email to info@mountaineers.org and we’ll take another look.

20. Family Activities Exception GH2280

    In family activities only, recognize when an adult attached to a youth membership has registered and override the Youth Information Form requirement for youth attached to the registered adult’s membership when they register. They would still need to be required to fill out the Family activities program form because otherwise we’d have no waiver on file for the youth.

    Considerations:

    What do we do if the parent or parents cancel? This is a family activity which should be parent-child combos, so this does not seem like but…?
    From Becca - Is there an option to have the system cancel a child if the parent cancels and the child has no completed youth form?

    What about friend-children who may come along (e.g. my dad, my best buddy and me)?
    From Becca - Friend children need to complete the forms.
    This should work as long as they are on their own family guest account. Is there a way to add text to the membership page https://www.mountaineers.org/members/muppet-gardner-pollmeier/manage-membership that indicates/warns members that they may only add youth to their family membership who they are the legal guardians for?

    What if something happens to the parent (lost, major injury, etc.) on the trip such that they cannot provide info that would be on the form?
    From Becca - We’ve decided this risk is very low, and at minimum we would have the child’s name, address and emergency contact info from the website.

    This is complete. To make it work, for an activity that is for families, remember to check the “Family activity?” box and choose “Families” in the Activity Audience field.
