    There is now a minimum and maximum age field on courses and activities to avoid having parents sign up for youth specific activities.

  4. Add text in manage registration window regarding activities that have closed GH1256

    If you get off a waitlist for a field trip and want to remove yourself from one that is already closed it is not clear how to do that from the manage registration window for course related activities.

    Please add a tag line to the red text that exists already saying registration has closed to make it say.

    Registration closed Mar 11 5:00 pm. Contact leader to be added or removed from roster.

  6. Close registration for courses that were created before registration close date field existed GH 1148

    Is it possible to close registration for all courses that happened last year. The default when we added registration open and close dates to courses was to have them perpetually open which has meant we have had a handful of these incorrect sign ups.

    From Jeff- The best fix actually might be blocking registration for a course whose end date is in the past.

  7. You can currently "offer" more spots than are actually available GH 1152/1188

    Fix course capacity so that you can only offer as many spots as are actually available for that course. Right now you can have 5 spots available but make an offer to 10 people on the waitlist.

    Activities can be scheduled for a route/place that has not been published, but only the author and staff can see it. All others will get an error. The more complete the content, the quicker we can review and publish. If you have an immediate need, please feel free to call our Member Services Team.

  16. Reduce number of clicks to access specific class rosters SD360

    Reduce number of clicks to access specific class roster- maybe allow users to "favorite" the classes they need to access often (esp for committee members who are not registered for the course in question). - Suggestion from Adam from Focus groups
