Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
Is it possible to change the default for adding people in an activity and not automatically add the entire unit roster?
Reason: Majority of the unit may not attend or be in active and requires leader to remove them manually. For large units this could be 100+ removals for adults and youth. Would like default to be zero adults/youth automatically added and force the leader to manually add only the ones that went in effect reducing the amount of button clicks. This also prevents someone getting credit for something they didn’t attend if the leader made a mistake.
Yes, just the activity logs. When I add an activity, it’s defaulted with the entire roster is automatically added. I have to then remove everyone (usually 70+% of my unit) who didn’t participate. A nice to have would be set the activity to default and have no members in the activity forcing the leader to manually “Add” them as needed.
Correct. This is if you access activities from the left-hand navigation. My issues occurs when you add an activity while in the calendar event. Only there does it force the “Select All” option as default.
Also, the text in the Camping Details includes coding text which is confusing to parents. I had to reduce the coding text just to make the 1500 character limit to save the activity. If you could change this to please?
@ThomasCline - just a point of order here.. the forums are all volunteers so “I” can not change anything. If I recall correctly adding a log entry from the event will take on the invitees as set in the event. I seem to also recall that setting attendance on the event will also set that for the related log entry.
Thanks @Stephen_Hornak, I do appreciate your feedback on this. Hopefully someone sees this, and we can make it a New Scoutbook Feature Request.
Ok, so for our unit’s RSVP calendar event to work effectively “All” is selected for the event so that “All” get an auto reminder based on those settings. This “All” selection is then in affect rolled down into the event’s Activity Log Attendees list including “All” the unit’s members. When the event passes the unit leader then has to remove any attendees that didn’t participate in the event’s Activity Log.
It would be a nice to have to change the event’s default setting to NOT put “All” members of the event in the event’s activity log OR ask the user to “Add Person” or “Select All” like how it reads when you activate Activity Logs from the lefthand navigation outside of the calendar event. Leaders can manually add them to the activity log as needed.
