Custom fields for people

A feature that would be very nice would be the ability to add custom fields for a person. This would allow churches to record everything they want without having to clutter the pages up with a lot of different fields.

Link to Google maps

It would be cool if there was a link to Google maps (or another mapping service) directly on the addresses page. Then you would just be one click away from seeing a map of their location. You could also possibly have a directions link that would open up Google maps with directions to their address from the church.

Mass text messaging

It would be nice to be able to send mass text messages from Chrrch. Most, if not all, carriers have email addresses (like 5555555555@att.net) that will send the message to the person's phone. So I would think you could just send out emails to those addresses.

Record a person's school and grade

School & grade level are two more pieces of information it would be nice to keep track of since we would use this for our youth group. The current software we have uses drop downs for both the school (we get to say what schools are in the list) and the grade.

Date input requires two digits for day & month

The date text box requires you to type two digits for the month and day, even for a date like 7/2/1985. Most people aren't used to having to enter 07/02/1985. What I've seen before is that when the user enters either '/' or '-' they are taken to the next field automatically. So then they just have to enter 7/2/1985, which is more natural.

Date Picker won't go prior to 1999

The date picker calendar only goes to 1999. This causes problems for at least the birth date field. For example, I initially typed in a birth date of 7/2/1985 and saved it. Then when I went back and opened the calendar it opened to July of 1999. As long as I don't change the year it will leave it as 1985- even though it says 1999. But if I change the year there is no way to get back to 1985 without typing it in.

Families & People Filtering

It would be nice to be able to filter people by more than just first & last name. Age, gender, & church relation immediately come to mind as being useful.

Another nice feature would be to allow users to save their filters. Then they could select commonly used filters from a drop-down list instead of having to recreate it every time.
