stafftool Reports we would love to have
Submitted Feb 19 by Michael Biolsi
This is the place to start listing all of the reports that you would love to see in stafftool. Of course, not all of them may be implemented, but hey... a guy can dream, can't he? 8-)
Comments
Directory Report [the one report you already have...]
Calendar Report
- Entire Church calendar {list/month views}
- Ability to select private or public events
- Filtered by Group or Tag {list/month views}
- Birthday only calendar?
Mailing
- Ability to print mailing labels for groups/filters
- Print direct to envelopes for groups/filters [absolutely want this!]
Other Leader’s reports [admins only?]
- Complete Profile of indivdual/group/filter (notes, dates, address, etc)
- Individual Ministry Audit (a history of groups/ministry involvement)
This is great. I'll look these over and report back my thoughts...some are already underway, and I'll think about the ones that aren't.
PEOPLE TAB: in list view: what about having a printer icon at the right (near edit icon) so that you could print out a bio type report that lists the all of the information about that person. Information could include picture address, IM, web site, email, phones, groups, attendance trends (eventually) If the person printing is an admin with right to view and edit notes, then the notes could also print on the report.
PEOPLE TAB: in the family view: in the gray bar with the family name a printer icon and the ability to print a family report with the same type of information as above.
CALENDAR IDEA: hey... what about the ability to view the calendar, or a filtered calendar, and email/PM that to a group of people rather than printing it out?
WIDOW/ORPHAN control is all that is missing from the directory report to make is useful... any idea when that might be implemented? Other stuff like bigger images is fluff right now, but I am desperately needing a print out.
Hey Mike. So I've been trying for the last hour or so to come up with a solution for this...here's where I'm at right now. So far, the only browser that somewhat honors the CSS rule for not breaking within an element (a family block, for instance) is Opera. So, I've got Opera fired up and I'm trying a bunch of stuff to try to get it to work. Every time I've think I've made progress with it, there's always something that stands in the way of it actually being a true solution...I haven't given up yet, though, there are a few more things I'm going to try...but at this point it's proving to be a pretty difficult task.
In the meantime, though, you can try out the latest version I just deployed in Opera and see if it's any better. From what I can see, it's better, but not perfect yet. It seems like it breaks on most of the family household groups, but not all for some reason. So I'm still trying to figure it out...it's pretty disappointing that the browsers just can't get these rules supported...I'm afraid that the final solution is just going to have to be a PDF export. But let me know if this helps.
