General Feature Requests

There are multiple questions we do not want to ask our alumni like the Diploma they pursued and also want to add some additional fields relevant to our school on the form. But these are not possible today.

There are many fields that we do not want to include in our registration. Most are default and cannot be changed. For example, we do not need "Skills" or "Interests" as it is not something we track. We do not want "Wedding anniversary date". We should be able to choose what information we ask of our alumni.

I'd like to see a redesign of the individual directory tile as well as the full profile. For the individual profile: if no photo, use first initial of first and last name (see inconsistent use of initials in screenshot below) provide options for users to add other (limited) fields in the white space like title, company, education add additional filter fields: deceased For the full profile: badges/callouts for certain groups of alumni (Reunion committee members, alumni association board members, etc.) admin options to re-order how info displays (ex: move employment info higher) add the ability to search for a verified group. When admin create a new verified group, create a selection for "search on directory." remove "% complete" indicator - this drives alums crazy when they can't reach 100% The directory is the powerhouse of the platform and is the main driver of traffic to our site, but it could be drastically improved in both function and aesthetics.

Almabase treats organization records like individual ones, updating fields like First Name. In contrast, RE has an indicator to differentiate between individuals and organizations. A feature to recognize organization registrations and adjust the Data Inbox results would be great. Right now, the only way is to manually ignore the entries in Data Inbox since they appear as individual records, even though they are correctly linked to the organization’s RE record.

If a user sees an incorrect address on their profile and they want to delete it, the only way for them to do so it to delete the field entry for Address line 1, Address line 2, City, State, ZIP, and Country. Could a "Delete" button be added to the profile editing page so this can be simpler?

This is one of most common requests from users. They do not like to see their middle name appear in either platform-generated emails or urls, especially after they've removed the middle name from their profile. See screenshot below:

Ability to display at least two of our nearest future events as a preview graphic/link on our Home Page. Attached is an example from a previous vendor. Clicking would take the user to the event. Thank you for considering.

We at Concept Schools have a community who are primarily active on Instagram. However, there is no option to add this on the profile page. Please add this functionality!

As alumni register on Almabase and make updates to their profiles, we accumulate a ton of new alumni information. Our objective is to ensure that all our internal systems remain up-to-date with this data. Rather than performing a full export of Almabase data, we are seeking a more efficient way to extract only the new information, including phone numbers, email addresses, employment details, and mailing addresses.

I'd like to add badges within the profile. We have created new badges for reunion committee members, class correspondents, etc. and it would be great if they could also be visible within profiles.
