That widget (Notes) is mainly what I use now. It would be great if we could see that widget, for every individual person, on a list we create. I would totally write more notes if I could see that widget on any list I created. For example if I make a list for tip eligibility and a student is eligible but not ready, I would put a note. Then, when I check the list for names next the day it’s right there reminding me, or letting anyone else looking know, with the date/time stamp.
Or if I made a list for the After Schoolers I could see all of them and if we had multiple that were no pickup for a day we would be able to see that straight from the list what day they don’t need to be picked up.
I did not realize that was thing. It is helpful, thank you.
Most of the comment though was for what you’d mentioned was on the roadmap for the future. I can’t speak for others but if I was looking at a list and needed to read the notes on a person it is unlikely I’d be interested in the rest of the activity. Also if I needed to see more than just the last few notes I’d likely be looking at their profile anyways. Really the only thing a note section would need is what the profile already has under status.
Next would be the ability to add a note from the list.
It would also be super helpful if there was a (see last list) option. While not needed for lists you use regularly it would be helpful if you had a one off list but clicked on something that loaded a new page. Hitting back just takes you to the original non-filtered list.
I like the tag suggestion but if you don’t have permission to create tags it kinda throws a kink in that plan. But I’ll ask for those permissions and see where it gets me. If there was a “remove from list” option you could just click the ones you don’t need and they’re gone. So a call list of 50 lets you remove them as you call them.
For the notes if you had some way to separate notes so that only the ones entered by personnel showed it’d cut down on a ton. Then any automated notes wouldn’t show. There’s only so many times you need to see “marketing automation” or “email”. For me at least the only relevant notes would be ones manually entered by staff. For the rest you just need a column that shows the date of the last automated email or text since those are usually triggered by dates.
The other immediate option is to have a popup window just for notes. Then you wouldn’t have to deal with more than just the most recent note or a specific number of characters of a note. You could even put in a “view more” link at the end of the visible notes that would pop up the window or open a new tab.
This also wouldn’t interfere with the list you’ve just filtered. Right now the only way to do that is to right click and open in new tab or window, but if you accidently click on a name even if you hit back you have to re-sort with all your filters again. I know you can save views but if it’s a one off list but has a bunch of filters this can be frustrating.
The next step would be being able to add notes to a profile from a list. But I’m sure that’s also on the to do list.
