When exporting lists (say from a saved search or advanced search, I'd like the option to include event attendance in the CSV. Currently, I can pull a list of people who attended a number of events but once I export that list I cannot tell which of the events they attended. So right now I have to pull the list that I am actually trying to find, then a list a event attendees for each of the events and then merge, sort and dedupe several spreadsheets to get the report I am trying to get (which is largely people in a given area and includes membership status and a list of events they've attended). I can get this report to pull but once exported the event info is lacking. The export gadget could be updated to include the same list of options that the advanced search tool has to solve this, which would save me hours a month.

Currently, one can select a single contact and get a list of their events so it seems it's likely a GUI update. The functionality is largely already there.

We need the ability to hide the field label if there is no response in the field. Whether this is checkboxes, radio buttons, picture, etc. If there is no response in the field, the label will not display on the contacts profile.

We wish to use this with the picture field to implement a badge program where contacts/members can earn badges of recognition from our organization. I can have a separate picture field and upload the image to that field when the contact/member earns a particular badge. However, it looks sloppy if there are 9 badges and a person has earned 5; then there are 4 field labels with no image. It would look much cleaner if the labels only appeared on the contact profile only if the badge image was there (field was populated)

Apparently there is no way to search Contacts for Latest Registration Date?

Why is this missing? For example, there ARE criteria for Latest Donation Date and for Last Login Date. None for Registrations.

I realize we could check off specific events since a certain date, but that is a monstrous chore, and the checkmarks aren't sticky. Even if I save that checklist as a "dummy" search for use later, all the checks disappear if I try to modify it (which might be necessary if only because we've added a more recent event).

It would be some help if we could at least check off a big block of events by clicking with the Control or Shift key, as is possible on many other selection lists.

Our only recourse is to export data to a spreadsheet and move data or records back and forth, which is even more of a pain, requiring expertise and ripe for error. (The point of using WA is to avoid spreadsheets, remember? ;-) ...)

One reason why we need it: People who haven’t registered for an event in the past two or three years would be good candidates for Archiving.

This would be an adaptation of the Membership Directory gadget to allow contacts to be listed. Additionally contacts would have access to a set of Privacy settings in their User Profile comparable to what members have today. A stronger user agreement or terms of service agreement might be required along with legal opt-in requirements and notifications for any contact using the system. A personal message sent by a member to a contact could be set to go through admins for approval, to use the organization's administrative email address, to allow the member to disclose his email address if he wishes, or to point the contact to send a personal message to the member from location on a public membership directory.

Wild Apricot currently has a Membership Directory gadget that uses a pretty secure personal messaging system: the sender of the message must provide his email address to the recipient but only if the recipient responds does the recipient disclose her/his/their email address. A degree of privacy is preserved. Aside from standard email and Wild Apricot email blasts the personal messaging system is the primary means of initiating contact inside our organization. We make very little use of our forums and will not reconsider using them more until the Listserv project is online (empty forums do not look good; email is what will make them show activity).

As a hobby group our organization has eclectic interests. Allowing a member to contact someone who has stated similar interests would allow us to better self-organize and to recruit potential members.

Dear Wild Apricot,

I am setting up an account that has various membership levels plus it allows people to sign up just for an email newsletter without membership. It would be really nice to have a separate profile page (or the ability to set fields for the profile) based on membership or non-membership. The profile page shows invoices as well as subscriptions to forums to forums, for example, to people who are non-members. I think this is confusing.

Also, it would be nice to have be able to set when fields are required or not based on whether someone is a member. For example, I would like to have the first and last name be optional for people signing up for email newsletter but have it required for members.

Thank you.
