Summary of Changes:
- User registration split into User Profile Creation (one-time details: name, email, & contact info) and User Volunteer Registration (seasonal volunteer preferences)
- Streamlined and re-wrote hand-holding for new user & family creation process; context-sensitive recommendations (e.g. add a second family member if none exists; add a child record if none exists)
- Added several seasonal options for previously hardcoded volunteer requirements, e.g. # of volunteer codes required per family; option to accept coach or ref volunteer as always satisfying requirement; added options to require selection of coach and referee volunteer divisions
- Show seasonal volunteer requirements during volunteer registration if the volunteer's family has not yet satisfied those requirements
- Redesigned Family Profile:
- More mobile-friendly & responsive
- Replaced adult/player/team assignments tab with "cards" (similar to inLeague home page with team assignments and other widgets) all on one page; made better use of screen space
- Added tabs for multi-season support (concurrent registration)
- Added context-sensitive notifications regarding registration status (open/closed/open but ineligible, with ineligibility reason)
- Added support for Eligibility Rules to Registration (assigned via Season manager)
- Replaced old medical release form with e-signed archive forms, when available
- Entry point URLs for registration updated (old URLs will redirect)
- Coach Volunteer division selection removed from player registration form; retired old mechanism of linking coaches to divisions via "who wants to coach this child" question
- Added division selection for up to three divisions for head coach and assistant coach
- Head Coach and Assistant Coach now have separate division preferences
- Replaced "auto-promote" division preference selector for referees and coaches with pre-selection of division(s) with your players
- Re-write of significant back-end functions relying on coach & referee volunteer data to use new divisional format
Form Redesign: Responsive Updates and Better Validation
The new user form, the edit user form, and the user volunteer preference form have been updated to comply with inLeague's new style guide. These forms scale to most any display size, and provide context-sensitive validation for each field rather then waiting for the form to be submitted before notifying the user of errors.
User Experience: New path into inLeague
The 'front page' for parents coming to inLeague for registration now offers several features to guide users to the correct place:
- Google Translate language selection is displayed prominently at the top of the page. It is still available from the footer on every other inLeague page. Most 'unlikely' languages were removed.
- Splash page is clearly divided between instructions for returning families versus first-time registrants
- Particular instructions given regarding existing accounts to try and prevent parents from creating new family profiles when their player(s) and other family members already have existing profiles
The URL for this page is /inleague/index.cfm/User/Check and this page replaces /inleague/registration/pre-pre-register.cfm and /inleague/registration/pre-register.cfm.
User Experience: New User Form
Previously, the new user and edit user pages combined static user details (such as name, street address, phone number, and email address) with volunteer preferences.
