Sphere Idea Bank

How does it work?
1. Sphere users submit their ideas.
2. The community discusses and votes for ideas
3. The best ideas bubble up to the top.
4. Product Management reviews the best ideas for placement on the Sphere product road map

**Please be as descriptive as possible and tell us how the idea would benefit your organization.

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

              • Ability to separate out a registration from a donation

                We would love the ability to separate out a registration from a donation (when a donation is made at the same time as registration) so that we could move a donation to credit another donor, team, or company.

                                    Allow Thon participants to create personalized URLs after they register for an event. If a participants opts not to create a personalized URL during registration, the organization would need to ask an engineer to create it after the fact, or unregister the participant, re-register the participant, and re-link all the gifts.

                                    • Have the ability to make registratnts inactive or delete them without reversing the transaction

                                      To have the ability to make a registrant inactive or delete their record without refunding them the money. We do not refund registrations so we would like the option to either move the registration fee over to a donation or make them inactive if they can no longer participate.

                                      • Ability to create unique email confirmations/auto response (to donation/registrations) based on defined criteria

                                        Merged with this several ideas about having the option to send different email confirmations. Please add your ideas on this topic by commenting

                                        1. Based on language preference. Allow the confirmation to be in the language preferred by the donor/registrant

                                        2 . Based on designation. Each donation form can have several designations that donors choose from. But the form currently has only one email confirmation that has to be generic enough to fit any designation donors had chosen. This is far from ideal so it would be good to have the ability to create an email confirmation for each designation… more

                                        • Kintera thon events should have the ability to show more than five top fundraisers on the home page.

                                          Participants like to check their fundraising totals, and the totals of other participants OFTEN. As in every hour often! The front page should show a running list that is longer than five participants. In addition, it would be great if the individual search feature was replaced with a "more" feature. Once into that page, allow people to search. Allowing people to see where all of the other participants rank is great motivation to fundraise more! This is fundraising psychology 101!

                                          • Allow a way to enter multiple event dates for events

                                            Some of our events that cover large areas have multiple event sites with multiple event dates. It would be great if BB could add fields or a way to designate that the event has multiple event dates and what those event dates are, along with the location. More and more of our large events are having multiple event dates and locations. It would be great to be able to indicate this in Blackbaud.
