Hi. About a month ago I located the instructions for how to make a unit admin. Or so I thought. Last week when I wanted to do this again, but I can’t locate instructions that actually worked. (So much has changed about Scoutbook in the past five years, I wish there was a way to make really old forum posts not show up in search results).
Anyway if someone knows how to do that, please provide instructions here. The scoutbook knowledgebase isn’t clear on the subject.
You can set a date range (kinda) in the advanced search settings.
Regarding creating a Unit Admin in Scoutbook, the process is essentially unchanged:
An existing unit admin (typically one of the unit Key 3, but any other existing admin should be able to do it) goes to the unit roster in classic Scoutbook, selects the scouter in question, then adds a unit admin role (e.g. Troop Admin, Pack Admin, etc) to their positions. Note that it seems to be inconsistent in providing access within the SB+ system recently, based on recent-ish posts in the forums, so you might need one of the unit Key 3 to set the scouter up as a Key 3 Delegate in the position manager at my.scouting.
What’s the error/problem you were experiencing trying to create a unit admin?
The error is I was following the instructions I found, which say to use Scoutbook Plus and click on things that I don’t see there. (these are instructions that were emailed to me by a registrar)
Your instructions work better. I was able to make someone a unit admin once I scrolled down and saw the “Add position / role” button.
