Surveys

N/ADesired
Admin will have the ability to create a surveySurveys are comprised of multiple questions, which are often inter-related or at least all concern a similar subject. Members or guests would have to ability to participate in a survey and answer the questions. Admins would be able to view the survey in the administrative side of the site and be able to see the ongoing results for each survey. Additionally, admins may only invite a certain group of people to participate in a survey.
There are a number of ways that this can be done, and a number of features that can be added (should people be able to partially complete the survey and finish it later, for example). As we start to analyze there, are there any features that you would like to see in surveys.
(Please note that there is a separate thread for Polls, which are single questions: http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8825896-polls-2493 )

Event templates
I would save me a ton of work and grief if there were event templates for the details section. Copying previous event is ok, but because of the formatting and table issues in WA they never quite look the same. The details section could be broken out into, well, other sections. For example, in this order, have a template with sections for:
* Header/Title
* General Location (i.e. New York, Bay Area, Boston) with picture space (we have logos for each chapter location)
* Register Button
* Description/writeup of event/meeting
* Speaker info and bio links (if applicable)
* Deadline to register
* Another Register Button
* Sponsors logos and linksUnder Additional Information have seperate sections for the following and tie which section goes to which type of registration attendee (we don't need to send directions to those calling in and we don't need to send call-in info to those attending in person):
* Directions to venue
* Call-in Info
* Additional information (such as event attire, etc.)If we could make templates with these items what a huge time saver it would be and the consistency from event to event would be so much more professional.

One Member Registers Multiple Members for an Event
Hello,
I mentioned this in the last survey I took and Dmitry suggested I post this here.
We have encountered several instances where allowing a member to sign up other members for an event would be a big advantage.
For example:
Member Frank would like to make a reservation for dinner with member Mike. It would be faster and tidier if Frank can do this in one registration. This way, Mike and Frank both appear on the list of registrants and both will receive updates about the dinner event. At present both would have to register separately (this would cause some confusion as to who is sitting with whom), or as Frank plus 1, in which case Mike would not receive any notice about the event.
To take this example further, we have many couples who are members. I have given both parties login credentials so that they can access the various sections of the site that are for the members only. Under the current system both parties would have to register for an event in order to appear on the registration list. Many, many times I have been asked to allow them to register both parties at one time.
We also do team events of up to 8 members so this would be very helpful in that regards as well.
Any change to the system that would allow this would not need too much in terms of error checking since every party that is registered would receive notice and any errors could be very simply corrected by the administrator.
I'm not sure what type of control I would suggest for this, but a drop down box would work, although it would be tricky if you have a very long list of members.
Maybe we can implement a screen where the member chooses the other members who are authorized to register them for events??? Just a thought.
Anyway, i'd be very interested in everyone thoughts about this.
It would help me immensely!
Thanks!

Customizing event registration emails by tags
We have several event categories as well as several event managers. They all receive event registrations for all events. In a future update can you set a customizable event registration that can be filtered by event tags instead of a broad based all event email registration receipt. For example, we have social events, race events, junior events and a crane pad reservation calendar. There is an event manager for each of these categories. If there is a registration for a dinner (social event)… the race, junior and crane event managers all get the social event notification and vice versa. My event managers are complaining of the additional email and are getting confused as to how to respond. I could just have these registrations sent to me and I could forward them to the correct event manager, but that defeats one of the purposes of our subscription to this service. I really think this could be a nice feature o be able to discriminate system registration emails by tag filters.

Add limitation by Groups to Registration Types for Events
Current behavior:
When creating a registration type it can be set to everyone, members, or members of a selected membership levelDesired Behavior:
Create the ability to limit registrations to members of a group. This way admins can create a group, for example board members and make sure that only they can sign up for board meetings or executive events.45 votes -
Activity Feed on Dashboard
Currently
There is no way for administrators to get a big picture of their member and administrators site activity. This causes situations where unwanted or mysterious changes (deleted pages, members,etc) happen that they are unable to track the action, sometimes not until it is too lare.Desired
Provide a way for both clients and support to quickly review a textual history of site changes by administrators and members. And possibly a 'gadget' to broadcast member and or site activity out to members/public.This could be accomplished by creating an activity feed on the dashboard. Similar to the news feed in Facebook, this would provide you with a summary of an action taken (page created/delete, contact created etc) along with who did it and when. You would also be able to filter this list so that you can see only those actions that are important to you.

Dashboard Customization
As a Wild apricot user, wouldn't you love to customize the dashboard to your own liking? Batchbook from batchblue.com does this very elegently. The user can select from a number of widgets to enable/disable. You can even rearrange widgets by dragging and dropping.
I strongly suggest looking into Batchbook dashbook design for Wild apricot.

Discounts for the total purchase
Currently, discounts are applied by member type, or by event registration type. But there is no way to discount the full cart (say 10% off your order). Why not?

Member Billing Contact
Many member accounts need a seperate billing email to get the renewal notices and event invoices. Is there someway to add a seperate field for billing contact name and email? Or a second person who gets notified of invoices and financial notices?

Allow adding non-member contacts to Groups
I just sent my first email blast to a group of contacts to follow up on a promotion, and found that there is not a way to assign a contact to a group. I just wanted to send an email to a very specific group of contacts (those that had attended a recent ski show, and entered our raffle). I thought I'd be able to assign them to a new group "ski show" so that I could send them a separate mailing. (What I ended up doing, was temporarily disabling mailing on other contacts, which thankfully right now we have very few, since we just started this year, sending the blast, then re-enabling the email).
It would be great if there were some way to define a subset of contacts for mailing.

Signatures for blog posts and forums
Many forum and blog sites allow their contributors to add signature files for their participants. The can contain personal and contact information for the person, as well as any links and maybe even a quote or a photo
Requested
When a member is logged in they can define a "signature" as part of their profile/information. This would be limited in size (we don't want them too big!) and they could set it up so that it is appended to the bottom of every blog comment and forum reply that they make.9 votes -
Zip code or address radius search for member directory
I am currently evaluating Wild Apricot for use with a specific database and I would like to be able for public visitors to use the Advanced search to look for:
Members "within" "x" miles of "zip code" or "address"
This feature would allow visitors to find people near their location and not just in a specific zip code. It's better to put in the address and find closest locations because it's more specific than the zip code. I think this feature would greatly enhance the ability for people to use this software for other databases. Like for me, I do recurring subscriptions for clients that I supply web services to and also provide access to blogs, forums, free ebooks, etc. They are daycare providers using the service for advertisement. The public visitors are looking for available providers in their area. Something like a "store locator" feature would really enhance the searching process.

Installments / Payment plans for events and memberships
Could Wild Apricot users offer their members an introductory trial rate for, say 30 or 7 days, followed by, say quarterly or six-monthly payments to spread the cost over the year?
That is very helpful during a recession, when many WA website users will find revenue dropping as their members cut back. To be able to spread payments looks very attractive to new prospective members: four quarterly payments of $10 is much easier on the budget than one payment of $40.
The introductory trial could be free, or at a pro-rata cost for 30 or 7 days. During the trial the member can cancel and either pay nothing (free trial) or pay just the pro-rata cost (low-cost trial). If he doesn't cancel, the next payment kicks in and is renewed automatically for each period chosen.
So a typical membership trial would look like one of these:
Free 7-day trial. Then $10 quarterly until cancelled.
$3.00 low-cost trial for 30 days. Then $20 every six months until cancelled.

Event Registration Report - options Mark All / Clear All
I am using the Event Registration Report frequently. I have events with over 30 field choices. It is very tedious to have to click or unclick each field box.
Would it be possible to make two Report Options?
Mark All - will select every field to report on.
Clear All - will unselect every field
Thank you.

Members to be able to manage an event
NOTE: There is already a thread http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8825554-members-to-be-able-to-submit-events-3764 about allowing members to submit their own events. This thread is expands upon that by requesting to also give members the ability to manage those event.
My organization is focused on triathlons and members are the main driver of training events. One of the primary functions of the organization's website is to allow members to post and manage their own events. They don't need approval though we do keep an eye out for abuse.
The type of functionality a member would need to manage an event would be basic CRUD of the event itself as well as the abilty to email the RSVP participants directly in order to send out updates about the event. Financial transactions would not be a part of this (i.e. linking into WA's payment functionality).
RSVP's for our events are limited to members only (side note: it would be nice if a privileged user could have the ability to create an event that allowed non-members to register).
Because this capability is so critical to our organization's functioning, not having it is a show-stopper.
Thx,

Change Field Type For Existing Database Fields
I should like some flexibility to be able to change field types for existing database fields.
For example I have fields which are current defined as text. However members give different responses to the question in terms of capitalisation, abbreviations etc which make the behaviour of the search on data in that field erractic.
I'd like to be able to change such a text field to a picklist.
The database would still store a text value but the choice available to new members would be restricted by the list. Existing membership records would continue to hold the existing data until the member chose to edit their record or renew their membership (if not previously edited) at which point the user would be required to replace the old non-compliant data value with a new one from the pick list.

Separate macro for day of week, month or year from the Event_Date macro
We would like a date macro that just contains the date, i.e. 5th February 2010 and does not have ", Friday" added at the end as Event_Date does at present.
We use this in our event announcements emails like this:
You are invited to {EventTitle} to be held at {Location} on {EventDate} starting at {Event_Time}
and having "Friday" inserted in that sentence makes little sense.
Best regards

Gadget to display member images (logos/pictures)
I would like to be able to insert a widget-like window on any page, or in the header/footer area, that would scroll the logo images from member records.
The window would simply scroll the logos as links to the member. Ideally, administrators could provide a title for the box (ie "Our Members" etc.). Adding search capabilities would allow us to create different scolling sets as well (ie one box could be all members, another could be based on location - state, province, city etc.)
