Allow Event Staff to Access Prior Events
Currently, only staff members registered for a particular event can access that event. This means that a new staff member on the current event's staff roster cannot access prior events unless he/she was already on that prior event's staff roster as well. Since staff turnover is fairly common, and new staff often like to refer back to prior event data, it would be very helpful to allow all current staff members to access prior events, even if they were not registered staff members for those events.

Have a childcare ticket option
Our auction provides childcare and it would be nice to have a completely separate ticket structure for that. Currently, we have to bundle it with regular admission tickets which assigns kids a bid number and makes for manual count of actual ticket sales. It would be nice if when a couple buys a ticket there is an option to add a child or children and would keep them as a party, but keep the child separate from regular ticket sale numbers.

Enable the salutation field to be imported
The salutation is the only patron field that is not able to be uploaded into RSA. It is importaint to be able to both formally, and informally address our patrons. When importing from our DPO system, this is a key peice of information.

Make Automatic Disabling of Win-it-Now Optional
During eBidding, if a package with a Win-it-Now price achieves 80% or more of the Win-it-Now price, the Win-it-Now option is automatically deactivated. This is done to maximize the high bid on popular items. It is especially beneficial in cases where the package creator may have underestimated the market potential of an item and under-priced the Win-it-Now option.
This feature would make this behavior optional, allowing the auction staff to decide if the Win-it-Now option should always remain available for packages, even after bidding reaches the 80% threshold.

Need to be able to distinguish between Donors who wish to receive mail, email, or online only communications
Would love check boxes that would allow me to check off whether donors would rather be contacted via mail, email, or an online application form (I guess phone could be an option, but that's not super relevant for me).
It's not at all convenient to put this in the "notes" field, as it's not a searchable field, and it's labor intensive to sift through and find out who wants what.
This week I printed a 17 page list of mailing labels, and spent 3 days whittling it down to 11 so that I wasn't mailing out an extra 200 letters…3 votes -

Make it easier to navigate back to the Homepage
Once I look at the Event Catalog, it's really really hard to figure out how to get back to the event home page. It took me four different attempts.

Contact Email Address Not Unique
Let the email address associated to a Contact on a Business Donor record be a duplicate to an email address for an individual. Many times you want to list the Donor for a sponsorship or an auction donation as a business, but the contact that you should send a thank you to at that business record is also an individual bidder. Without being able to duplicate emails you either have to list the donor as the individual, or you have no way to email a thank you note for the business record.

Allow "Ask Selected" to b updated for donors without emails
Right now, when you are sending out solicitations to your entire database, the only way to change the Asked Status to "yes" is to generate an email solicitation through RSA. So, any business without an associated email will not have their status changed to "yes". However, when you send out mail to all of these businesses, there should be a way to change them all to yes in bulk instead of having to change the status individually. This is important as you continue to add new businesses to the database so that you can search all those with a "no"…

Allow bid numbers to be imported as an option
We have used other systems to manage our event, and those have allowed us to import bid numbers. I would like to be able to import these - a HUGE headache for I'd already printed packets with assigned bid numbers before I tried to load into RSA and it's taken all day to get RSA Bid #s to agree.

support mobile card readers
It would make the system more flexible to integrate mobile swipe devices allowing staff to handle credit card swipes with an ipad or iphone. It also makes the use of wifi not as important which in some venues can be sketchy.

Show bidder PIN on check-in screen
Show the Bidder PIN along with their bidder number on the check-in screen, so you can give it to your attendees when they check-in. This will enable them to go start using shared bidding stations right away.

Separate sponsorships from donations.
Separate sponsorships (i.e. table sponsorships) out from the other donations, since they have different functions - for our event, our table sponsors are dealt with much differently than our auction donors. This would be helpful when sending thank you letters and when pulling reports at the end... Also, create a separate Sponsors area under the patrons tab, instead of lumping the sponsors in with the donors.

Remove "Received" status as a requirement for Donor Thank You letters.
Right before the auction, it is helpful to see which items I am still waiting for in the report under "Donor Will Provide" Or Arrange to Pick Up" and after the auction, there is no reason I would want to spend the time going back to mark everything as Received, except that my donor letters won't print correctly unless I do that. It took hours of work to go back to each file to change the status, just so the letters would be correct.
