Needs to be assigned by admin

Pablo Joel Cardona

Updated the needs list so that the need can be fulliled by a member choosing to fufill it or an admin or someone with rights can assign the some one to the need.

We would really love to use the needs process but it is totally impractical because we have many people who are not computer savvy but do use emails. We need the ability for an admin to subscribe users to a need type and to assign needs. Also there does not appear to be any way an admin can see all the peple who have volunteered for needs. The 'needs' field does not appear on the list of fields in the advanced search for people.

As an aside - I volunteered to be a user tester for nerw features but have never been asked other than the generic preview of the new people view. The needs functionality is good in theory but not in practice and could have been much better if the use cases had been reviewed and tested while in development.

Is there any update on this, please? We really want to use Needs, but it's incredibly difficult without the ability to have more comprehensive control over the administrative side of it.

When creating a need it would be great to be able to assign the need to someone. We are trying to use it to have a task area for staff.

Hey Emily :) 
Thank you for this request.
This isn't currently something we have on our roadmap, but we do watch trending posts on this platform. 
This request actually already exists, so I'm actually going to merge this request with an existing one. That way we can see your votes count together.
If anything progresses I will keep you updated on this post.

Hi Pablo,
Thank you for this request.
Needs can be assigned by the individual through the member area. Please reach out to us by emailing support@tithe.ly if you need any assistance or take a look at the following article: https://help.elvanto.com/hc/en-us/articles/7622810817431-Subscribe-to-a-Need-Type-as-a-Member
However, you are correct in stating that admins cannot assign needs to members to be fulfilled. This isn't currently something we have on our roadmap, but we do watch trending posts on this platform so if this request is upvoted that helps our team understand what the majority of our customers really need and want.
If anything progresses, you will be updated on this post.
Maggie
