Current in OW you can only set one Organization specific Reply-to Name and Email address in the "Organization Information" and then if needed override that information inside each email inside a program. 

While this works, there are many places to change this and frequently this causes something to be missed in every single spot it could be done. 

I have noticed a lot of clients have asked me for a program specific email override and I think it would make the most sense under the "General Information":

This email override could function much like the other program specific functions and should change the from email and name for : 

• Confirmation Emails
• Emails in the custom email configuration
• LOR emails
• Email blast emails
   

While I could see this being a non trivial change from a code stand point, I know that a number of users that I deal with would love this feature and feel others would as well. 
 

There are many variables that you can put into the confirmation page relevant to submissions that have been completed on that transaction. 
 

These can be used to inform the client of what was just put through as well as for tracking purposes depending on the clients need. 

Currently most of these variables will only display the first entry that was completed and the only way to have more listed is to use invoice details which becomes quite messy.

Would it be possible to make an all inclusive variable for those completed submissions that have just occured. Listing potentially title and id number printed out in basic HTML:

EX:
<p>{ApplicationJustCompleted1}</p>
<p>{ID1}</p>
<p>{ApplicationJustCompleted2}</p>
<p>{ID2}</p>

Frequently I have clients that need to send an email blast to a small subset of users or that need to download files from just 10 or 20 entries. 

There is always the use of an admin-only field, a field hidden from the user and the entrant, and using bulk edit complete to set those fields, not really the best as then you have a deprecated field you likely won't use again. 

This is where the winner types come into play, you can create, assign and delete a winner type at a much more rapid pace and then you can use it to set up filters for bulk downloads and email blasts.

Currently, when you save inside an editable submission (a submission that has been opened for edit) you trigger eligibility rules on any save action, be is save or save and finalize (Done).

For ASAE this causes a few issues as sometimes people need to open their submission to add more educational experience but with a requirement of 100 hours, it means that the user is likely to add some, save and navigate away. 

This is possible in a submission by changing the submission eligibility to only trigger at the finalizing stage. 

That being said when it is a submission open for editing the system will treat any save as something to trigger the eligibility rule. I would think that the rule should only fire on the confirmation of the submission being finished rather than on the saving of the editable submission. 

I tend to work with a few "Rolling" programs, a term for those programs that never really close and rarely cohort to a new version of the program. 

The longer the program runs the more need comes for features to limit the nature of some reports such as financial reports. While these modifications can be made in reports via manipulation of the excel file we have also expanded many report features that are essentially doable in excel and I think this one would make sense to become a bit more granular considering how many rolling programs are currently operating. 

I was speaking with a client and had my attention drawn to the fact that "Generate Zip of All Files" is only present in rounds that have files. 

In a single round program, I can understand that functionality but in later rounds, this is the only export feature that works this way, all other application exports work, regardless of round. 

Could this be made contingent on the presence of files in an earlier round or would there be a larger implication I am not considering?

Recently I had some work done for the BluePay payment gateway as we needed to correct the pushing of the reference code into the platform. 

The client had requested a modification to the functionality of the gateway to send the invoice ID vs the Reference ID and I wanted to know if that could be something in the future. 

Currently, the workflow is to set the Reference coding in the payment gateway and upon process, the typed code is sent to Custom ID1 and the reference ID is sent to custom ID2. I am wondering why it is we send a reference ID vs the Invoice ID. Both work in the platform to retrieve the invoice as well as locate it in the financial reconciliation report but if the invoice ID was sent would the report still be needed? 

Frequently I have clients that want to integrate multiple forms of analytics and from a tracking perspective, this isn't that hard as we can just add the code into the header of the site. 

That being said, there are many higher-level clients that run full ad campaigns that track more than just traffic but also track clicks and confirmation. 

While I can argue against a full set of tools for the tracking of clicks and pages visited I do see the benefit of confirmation code. Currently, the only method for this is pasting on the confirmation page but this page is accessible in other ways and can often throw off analytics. 

We need a place to paste code that can render either on the first load of confirm or during the checkout process so that confirmation can be appropriately tracked.  

While I love granular permissions they are frequently a secondary action for me, most admins I add to the system use all permissions and having to click all is a bit annoying when adding more than 1 judge, could we add an all permissions button:

Frequently I have users of OW let me know that they will complete an entry to test the complete email layout and if you are making a highly styled email this can be even more critical than just checking the content and system variables are populating.

If you want to test an email very quickly and have that email send as the newest version you can always override the to email address in the email tab of a staged entry. 

Simply open up an incomplete submission and:

1. Navigate to the email tab.
2. Select the template you wish to test
3. Override the "To Address" to send the email to yourself and not the applicant 
   
    

This allows you to send out the confirmation email multiple times when you need it, and allows for the testing of multiple variables as well as design-heavy emails.
