There's nothing more important for building long-term electoral success than good data. It's time for new parties and candidates to have access to the kinds of tools that they need to win elections.

Thanks for the suggestion from Justin. Disappointed in the generic non-answer from Jeff.

It may be moot now that we found out the price of NationBuilder for us will go from $67/month to $219/month if we want to keep using the memberships feature.

Any more information about what ‘H’ is supposed to mean?

commented on Batch import empty field to overwrite incorrect Election Center data?
Thanks, but this is the kind of thing that needs to be fixed. Some of these contacts have other phone numbers, and I don’t want to mark the entire contact as “Do Not Call”. I just want to batch remove the bad phone numbers.

Another option would be for you to implement a “Bad Number” flag for the Home and Work numbers, similar to the Mobile number. Then we could batch update that instead, which would be a reasonable workaround.

commented on Is there a way to assign a specific user to be responsible for specific followup?
Drew,

Thanks for the response. I think I understand what you’re suggesting, and we’ll try modifying the followup types to more closely model our internal responsibilities. But I still think it would be nice to have a very clear way for an individual to mark a specific followup as his or hers, so that everything that comes in has a positive acknowledgment, and a clear owner.

commented on Problem with "Primary Address" selection
Thanks. So how do we change the Primary address for an existing contact?

commented on Custom Walk Lists
It’s important for us to at least have the option to include blank space for recording notes. Ideally the forms would be more customizable (like options to include Data Entry fields like “Contact Status”), but a simple optional “Notes” space on the right edge of the forms would suffice for now.

commented on How to record contributions by candidates not restricted by contribution limits?
I ended up finding a better answer. The Finances->Settings page for an individual has a checkbox for “Exempt from donation limits.” With that checked, you can record any amount of a contribution you want, so we were able to leave our pre-defined election cycle limits in place. So in the end I think NB allowed us to exactly record the nature of this contribution (Loan from Candidate – Exempt from donation limits). Thanks.
