Changing the Required Profile Questions

I would appreciate knowing when we will have this capability of making some fields optional, while others can be made required.  I believe this was originally entered as ticket #1728.

Thanks, Celeste! :)

+1 For this feature.  I don't know whether to accept a join request for an individual unless I know they qualify based on their address, which I currently can't confirm before accepting and possibly never at all if they don't subsequently enter the information.

Some information, if not captured at signup, is pretty much lost forever with most users.

Hi Jay,

Thank you for your feedback!  We do understand that Groupsite Managers need the ability to require profile questions that are important to that particular Group.  We are working on making this functionality available to Groupsite Managers.

Sincerely,

Celeste

Celeste, can you confirm this is indeed a priority for Groupsite.com?  Can we expect progress anytime soon?

Hi Ralph,

Ticket 1728 is one of many priorities.  What I can confirm is that ticket 1728 is NOT listed in the "current" workload which goes out to about the next 6-8 weeks.  I cannot provide any additional information at this time as our priorities can/do change to meet the needs of the business.

I would appreciate an update on this issue please.  Can you tell us what the timing might be to complete? 

I also asked in previous comments if there might be a short term solution since the join process used to actually prompt for a new users city, state, etc.  Since the logic was already there before and was removed, could you simply prompt users if they want to enter it when joining?  That way your not forcing someone to enter it.  Thoughts please.  thanks

Stacie -

We also look forward to when we can implement this, but unfortunately don't have a "when."  The reason is because this ticket is not actively in production and, at this time, we're unable to predict when we will work on it.  We still have a small team of developers that stay on top of all we do -- strategic platform initiatives to keep us positioned as a leader in social collaboration, as well as all enhancement requests and bug fixes. 

As far as a quick solution, I don't believe we have a way to implement this in quick way that won't cause more problems than fixes -- but I've asked the development team to please share alternative news here if I'm mistaken.

I'm sorry we don't have the more immediate solution we'd all like to see, but please know your input is valued and important to us.  We appreciate the open dialogue here in Champions.

thanks, Diana.  We look forward to this implementation.  Maybe we'll make progress in year 2.

Celeste,

this issue is becoming pretty critical to several of my groupsites.  Would be extremely helpful to have the ability to make some profile questions required.
