Allow members and/or conference registrants to upload file attachments - like abstract submission
Our academic society would find it extremely useful if members -- or better yet, conference registrants -- could upload files (e.g., Word docs, PDFs). This would allow presenters at the conference to share papers prior to the conference, potentially enhancing the feedback that they would get from other conference-goers. We would really like to provide this service for our members/conference attendees.
Dear supporters,
With the new release 6.18 version, we added the ability to create File attachments field for Common and Membership forms.
So now, you can collect documents/images from your members, subscribers, registrants. Members can share their documents with others via Public profile. You can upload files and download files right in contact, member or registration details.
If you have any ideas, requests how we can improve this new functionality, please share it with us.
More about this and other updates in our release notes: https://gethelp.wildapricot.com/en/articles/1665
Thank you for your support and have a good day!
Katya Tyukina,
Product Owner @ Wild Apricot by Personify

Need the ability to add documents or images to select members profiles. Example: a member who achieves a certain certification level, gets a certificate (a pdf). Need to be able to add the member profile so they can access it and download it when needed.

I agree! We are trying to create a look book of all event attendees and it is annoying that the function is available in common fields, but not during the event registration process. Please fix WA!

The ability for members to upload docs to support eligibility criteria when applying for membership would also be very useful.

Ability for members to upload PDF's and photos under their member profile.

Agreed, this would be extremely helpful. Especially if you could categorize documents (release forms, medical forms), and then export all submissions in that category as a PDF report.

This would be an extremely helpful feature and there is clearly a lot of support for it.

Currently WA only accepts .jpg files. It would be helpful to also accept .pdf. For instance, to upload a copy of a member's i.d., which we ask for.

Adding PowerPoints submissions to event registrations (Call for Papers) would be highly valuable.

We like to be able to attach supporting docs, *pdf, onto members Profiles. Thanks very much.

It would be a great add-on to be able to allow members to upload their photos without them being resized. This would allow us to download and reuse their photos for onsite events and presentations without having thumbnail only sizes.

It would be great to be able to attach PDFs to the member profiles, such as their actual membership forms.
Thank you

I hope you are working on developing an abstract submission tool for conferences. We love Wild Apricot for our events and membership needs. We currently set up an event for abstract submission. It works but is administratively not efficient. We would love to see a more sophisticated tool as an add on.

I would like a way for new members to be able to upload their resume. You have the capability to upload a avatar - why not a resume.

Yes! Having a way for Members to upload files would be great! Even if it's just for an event! It would allow us to use an event as a registration form and allow event registrants to upload relevant files instead of emailing them. It'll also save from us having to use an alternative form website that supports file uploads.

This Wishlist item may achieve the goal of the other wishlist item that has been ABANDONED! (Allow members and/or conference registrants to upload file attachments). How are members supposed to share documents easily with each other?????

Ability for an applicant to upload documents such as proof of CEs, letters of recommendation, copies of licenses, etc.

We would love to have the ability to upload pdf documents to a members file. Certificates, original paper applications for older members for the sake of history. When a member receives an award, we check out their original membership folder for history that predates our staff. We'd love to be able to upload these documents over time and have all of our membership information in one place.

I would use this type of feature to allow members to retrieve their own certificate of attendance to a conference. they can keep a history of the certificates from the events they attend.

Thank for the feedback, I understand how important this is for your organization, but we cannot promise to do anything ASAP. As soon as we start working on it, we will notify all subscribers.
