Nickname Field & Search By...
Not plannedThere have been countless times where I've encountered people who have a first name that is different than the name they go by. Right now, the workaround is to write a note in their profile but unless you intentionally go looking through their notes, you'll miss it. It also doesn't display on their registration/sign-in sheet, etc.
It would be great to have this field added, allow it to be searchable, and have it display on sign-in sheets instead of the given first name.

Thanks for the reply and the suggestion. This wouldn't work as seamless as I'm envisioning, though. If I type "Bob" into the search field instead of "Robert", I'm not going to get any results. I would then have to run a custom search in the custom "Nickname" field to search for "Bob". If I wasn't aware that Bob went by another name, I would assume he's not in our system. This is, unless I run this custom search EVERY time I do a volunteer search. Not exactly intuitive.
I'd encourage you to consider this feature.
