Branch “Hot Button” Calendar

Google Calendars is an effective way to keep track of everything going on in a Y. We can add a customized version for each branch, and locate it on the Branch News Page. Individuals at the YMCA control all of the information, and because it is a calendar, you do not have to remember to go in and delete events once the dates pass.

Locations Icon Drop Down Menu

The Locations icon takes the user to the Locations Map. With the drop down menu on this icon, the user has the choice of going directly to their branch, or to the static map page.

Child Care Bulleted Lists

Similar Child Care Categories can now be stacked under one common description and separated with bullets. All of the maps function the same way they did before.

Translate Button

A Translation Button can be added to the site. This feature will translate every page into the selected language (over 60 languages).

Register Soon on the Schedule

When a registration code is entered into the schedule the session line reads “Register Now” whether a session is active or not. This feature can be updated to say “Register Soon” until registration is open. At which time it will automatically change to “Register Now.”

Auto-Reply Emails from Request More Information Form

An Automatic Reply Email can be set up to respond to clients who use the Request More Information form that can be added to the Membership page and/or Branch Home pages. This confirmation message is a courtesy to visitors to let them know their email has been sent successfully. The message could be, "Thank you for contacting the (YMCA Association)! A representative will be contacting you within one business day."

“Branch Specific” Programs Feature for Branch Home Page

Now it’s easy to instantly see all the programs that are currently available at a specific branch. All the consumer or YMember has to do is click on one of the Core Services listed in the middle of a Branch Home Page, and all the programs currently scheduled at that branch will appear. They can click further to see a description of any class or program and get the schedule page just for that branch. All of this information pulls from the main database, so there is absolutely no additional entries that have to be made in PeaShooter.

Edit Session Anchor

In previous versions, clicking the "Edit" button for a session sent you to the top of a page. This was an annoyance when working with classes that had many sessions. Now when editing a class, the system will take you to the session you are editing.

Drop from Schedule Early and Date Validation

Currently, Sessions stay on the schedule until the "session end date". With the Drop from Schedule Early feature you can choose a date, at set-up, to have the Session be automatically removed from the Schedule. This accommodates some sessions that regularly fill up early, like Aquatics, and eliminates the long list that can cause a consumer to have to scroll. Many other classes are preferred to remain on the schedule, as late registrations are welcomed. Now you have the choice to make that decision at time of entry.

With the new Date Validation feature, you cannot accidentally end a Class before it begins, drop a Class after it's over, or drop a Continual Session. This has been added as a helpful feature for accuracy.
