I saw a request about this in the thread in general questions but would like to make a formal request - When adding a new member manually, i.e. in admin view, to allow the list of options for Membership Level to be sorted so that the first one in the list is our preferred choice for new members. When we set up the Membership Levels we weren't aware of a problem we'd have when we added new members manually. Our primary Membership Level, which is the only level available to new members, is Regular. It happens to be 5th out of 6th, alphabetically. When our Membership chair adds a new member manually she occasionally forgets to select Regular from the drop down list and the new member is added with Membership Level equal to the first item in the list, which has different features including renewal dates and different membership fields. Then someone needs to find the problem later and ask her to fix it. Membership level is used in a number of saved searches and permissions so I'd rather not have to rename the levels just so that they appear in a better order for us when we add a new member manually. As a quick fix , if you could display more than just the first item in the list it might be more apparent to the administrator that a choice needs to be made here. With just the one item showing it is real easy to skip over.

Our organization has several events which offer members signup registration choices at the event. To create one invoice total all of the event items must be entered under a registration event. Items that members select and pay for online are registration, workshops, meals, memento's etc. When importing the invoices for the events into Quickbooks all event items go into a general account "events". We would like to be able to separate the payments on the invoice into sub categories, i.e. registration, workshops, meals etc. The only way we can do this not is to dig out a unique part of the event description and use the Quickbooks report filters.

I run 3-4 events a week and autopost these to FaceBook using the events page RSS and Twitterfeed. It works a treat except that the posts contain the same blurb and a title which I'm not too happy about (you can see what I mean here: https://www.facebook.com/MySocialCircle )

Is it possible, to customise the title for the event details pages? It seems to read as "organisation name - event title" as the page title, and the blurb appears to come from the events calendar page description meta tag.

Is it possible to change the description metadata dynamically (to take details from the event description) and perhaps customise the title (even if only to reverse the order)?

I realise that the way its displayed does have something to do with FB and the way it presents links now, but it would be so great if every time I shared a link via RSS feed that it didn't have the same old blurb.......

Anyone got any brilliant ideas?

I would like to see added the ability for department managers or administrators to register multiple members and pay for all of them in one transaction. It may be possible to add this feature to the group bundle administrator settings. Currently, the group bundle admin can add as many new members as the association allows for one price. Maybe instead of one price, the system would mulitply the number of members added and charge the admin accordingly. Any other admins out there looking for this kind of functionality?

We currently have a spreadsheet that a group admin can fill out and email to us. We manually add the members and invoice the admin. Once paid, we activate all the members.

Our Membership managers want to locate primary company contacts (or bundle administrators) using the simple search screen.

When you have a many bundled administrators with many linked (or children) records. It’s difficult to find the primary member contact (or bundled administrator). I know you can use advance search but this involves extra steps when searching on a day-to-day basis. In our case bundle administrators are the primary member contact which is used frequently.

The functionality is relatedly simple, in fact works exactly the same as finding an system administrator.

My suggestion for the Contacts / Simple Search page is to add:

1) 'With Bundle Administrator' and also 'With Non-Bundle Administrator' rights to the on the Filter menu, see below.

2) Add a GREEN star next to the primary contact (or Bundle Administrator) record on the simple search screen. The star is already added on the members screen to denote the Bundle Administrator but not shown on the simple search screen.

What are your thoughts??? If you agree with this functionality please vote for it. I need many votes.

Thank you for your help.

Greetings,

I would like to know if you could create a way to link only the email's domain to a membership.

I am the Director of Education for the World Trade Center in Denver, CO, a 501(c)6. Companies become members of the WTC Denver to help them import, export and to attend our specialized classes on conducting international trade. When a company becomes a member of the WTC Denver all of their employees receive the membership benefits.

Example: One of our members is MillerCoors. MillerCoors has several thousand employees within their company making it unrealistic for me to enter each employees email address into my database so I can offer them the membership discount at our events.

Would it be possible to associate only the email domain with a membership so anyone that enters an email address associated with a member company gets the member discount at our events. For example: anyone that uses an email address ending in @millercoors.com receives the discount.

Wild Apricot has been an invaluable asset to the World Trade Center Denver.

Thank you,

Justin

We'd like to create "programs"--like events but no dates. Examples are a year-long class, or a team in a youth soccer club. Registration process could be identical to events, with fee levels, add-on costs, discount codes, etc. Why don't we just call these programs "events" and give them a 12-month duration? Because the "Programs" offerings should be displayed and promoted in a separate page or section and organized by category instead of by date. Registration process is the same but the user-concept is different: for ex., a member should be able to join a soccer team in mid-season, but displaying it on a calendar with a September start date front-and-center will imply to most members that they can't do that.

The database column "Renewal Date last Changed" is essential when we need to send out membership cards and other new member items.

I produce member cards twice a month - once for the first half and then for the last half of the month. Any time on or after the 16th of the month I extract all those with a renewal date of the 1st thru the 15th and then after the first I extract all those with a renewal dated of the 16th thru the 31st.

Given the current tools, this is a tricky selection that requires two criteria - everyone whose renew date is greater than or equal to the 1st of the month AND less than or equal to the 15th of the month. There is a different set of criteria for the last half of the month. Also, these searches cannot be saved since next month the dates have to be changed to reflect the new month.

This process would be greatly simplified with a pair of new search criteria :

Select all members with a "Renewal Date last Changed" between day X and day Y of this month.

and

Select all members with a "Renewal Date last Changed" between day X and day Y of last month.

I would use option 1 on the 16th of the month in the form

"Select all members with a "Renewal Date last Changed" between day 1 and day 15 of this month."

and after the first of the next month I'd use option 2 in the form

"Select all members with a "Renewal Date last Changed" between day 16 and day 31 of last month."

Users who send out weekly member cards could set up additional ranges for whatever dates they are interested in,

Also, these searches could be saved and re-used each month since the terms "this month" and "last month" are based on the current date and are always meaningful.
