When sending reminders for meetings and events, it is frustrating for people that have already responded about their attendance, to keep receiving reminders. It tends to be useful to have 2 (or more) custom lists: those that have not responded and those that have responded or that are coming. Reminders can be sent only to those that have not responded yet and as responses come in, one group deflates and the other(s) inflate. One useful tool would be to be able to quickly open a group and invert the people selection to create a complementary group.

Other related feature improvements:
  • An explicit "Save as" feature for custom groups, in place of the implicit group duplication feature, by selecting and adding a new name.
  • For recipients of agenda emails, add drop down selections for the 3 attendance markings: Uncertain, Yes (attending) and No (not attending).

Thanks!!!

The above was added... it was a fairly straightforward add. Let me know if you have any issues with it.

I may have misread this, but I'm not seeing any way to send email to "members without a role" &! "not attending". There's no reason to bug people who've already said "I won't be there" to take a role! ;-p

Yes, but that tick-list appears to be ADDITIVE, so ticking "members not attending" & "Members w/No Mtg Role" will send the message to members who have already said they aren't going to attend (specifically the group I wish to EXCLUDE) & to members who have no meeting role. I want to send a message to all members who have no role BUT EXCLUDING those who've said "I won't be there". Since it is additive, I don't even think that ticking "members with no role" + "members attending" + "members uncertain" would do the trick, because that would send the message to every member of each of those groups added together. I think that there needs to be an EXCLUSION box to subtract a group from the additive groups. i.e. one column "send to" one column "do NOT send to". Does that make sense?

Ok, but I already have that functionality as a option... Perhaps you need to take some time to learn how to use the software? :pinch:

Ok. Thanks! And I'm sorry for being a boob of a noob. But to be fair, "Absentee" is not the same as "Not Attending". It might be the same as "Did not attend", so I had no idea that's how it was intended to be read. So, I'll amend my suggestion to: reword "Don't Email Absentees" to ''Don't Email "Not Attending"'' Although, I really like my two column idea. I can think of other cases where I'd want to INCLUDE and EXCLUDE certain overlapping groups.
Thanks again, and thanks immensely for creating this system for us! :-)
