Current behavior:
Membership certificates/cards can be produced by running a search, exporting records and using something like MS Word mail merge

Desired behavior:
Ability to directly setup in the system layout and fields for membership certificates/cards and then to print them using common label formats.

Notes:

Details about specific desired formats/layouts/label sizes would be appreciated.

Ideally we are looking for something so members can print their membership certificate and/or card right online, either in their account center or somewhere in the members only section.

Please second this if this is something you want to get it on the WA update list :-) Thank you.

 Currently we have to do all this by hand, printing it and mailing it to members. Our members are looking at having it instantly after they login in.

This is not that strange for associations I see.

Kim, we have added this to our list. The biggest challenge is to figure out how to address widely varied formatting requirements for these cards/certificates. If you could send us a sample of your current layouts, we would appreciate it.

(And everyone else interested in this feature - please send your sample layout and thoughts to support @ Wildapricot.com)

How about just supporting an html template certificate and card?  Have an editor and the option for administrators to insert their own html.  Support a number of basic fields (First Name, Last Name, Membership Level, Expiration Date).  The user would click the certificate or card link and the template would be merged with their information.

 

 

Yes, this is the direction we are leaning toward. Thanks for your comment!

I just wanted to say this is something we would like, too! I think designing our own with an HTML format would work fine. 

When might this be available?

Thanks Susan.

We are dealing with hundreds of very varied requests so I can not commit to a timeline but this does look like something we will be adding to the system at some point.

To make this really useful to us, would need to be able to tell it to check a specific database field, to find out if the member was "juried" or not.  If no - just print a generic membership card for the membership level.  If yes, print a special membership card as a juried member with the juried logo.

Ok, basically you would need a couple of different templates instead of one. I made a note of this.

Just voting on this one as well. Another priority on our list.

If our members could access everything online such as a membership certificate/card this would cut time,mailing and be a great benefit for members.

Currently many association's like our's allready have this in place. I feel like we are back in the stone age, printing and mailing and taking days.

We want to main stream our association and make it user friendly.

This is a great way to start.

Please vote for this. It will increase your membership signups!

This is a must!  See my reply to name badges.

 

I like the idea of members being able to print out there own card 

This would be a great feature to print membership cards.
