Event Attendance Not Linked to Activities Attendance

After recording attendance for an event e.g. our Veteran’s Day Parade where 14 Scouts attended I added 1 mile to the activities log for the event and it shows all 61 Scouts getting the 1 mile credit. Does the system reconfigure to only give credit to the 14 Scouts who attended the event or does it give it to all 61 Scouts who were invited to the event?

It should be only adding it to the ones marked as attending. Did you mark attendance before or after adding the mileage?

I marked attendance before adding the miles. It just seems odd that it shows all 61 invited scouts with the miles on the activities section.

@MichaelJostes - i am sure you can remove the scouts/scouters that did not attend and/or participate

Maybe one of the SUAC can pass along the behavior you’re observing to the devs for investigation.

Maybe I should ask a clarifying question here. When you say “on the activities section”, do all of them show up as having that mile when you run an activity log report for hiking, or is it just appearing in the calendar event interface for all 61 invitees?

I’m not suggesting it’s right that it should appear for everyone invited in the calendar event as long as it’s not in the logs, I’m just trying to help get some scope on what the issue may be.

Ultimately I did that; it just sucks to enter the attendance 2+ times when you’ve done it for the event overall then again for each activity type.

I did a test case and yes, if I don’t re-enter the attendance for the activity itself and only enter the attendance on the event then the activity is recorded for all invited persons, not just those who attended.

I am having issues with adding people to the acitivities with their nights camped or miles walked or service hours. I can create the activity log and save it. But i cannot add people to give the credit to. Thoughts?

I agree. We should be able to add “Activities” based on attendance from the linked event. I have replicated this issue across several events and all three activity types. It has never worked correctly, and unfortunately, it likely leads to underreporting of activities.
A linked request is to allow the ability to add an activity type when the event it created, rather than waiting until after the event is complete.
