Time for another update!

1. We have a new address: 220 Fort Worth Highway, Suite 650, Weatherford, TX 76086 (we moved to a different suite).
2. We changed the TroopTrack sign-up form to help people understand they’re signing up for a troop account and not an individual account. Hopefully that will reduce confusion for our newest users.
3. We sped up the page for showing an event’s details (one of the most frequently accessed pages) by a little bit. Another speed-up is in the works.
4. TroopTrack subscription emails come from Kelsie now. Isn’t she great? :)

We fixed the issues with sending invites and reminders, and now you can edit when they get sent out even after creating the event! Also, this let us implement a commonly requested feature: you can now re-send invites anytime you want by setting "Send Invites When" to today.

Time for another update!

1. Photos from newer cameras were sometimes getting rotated when uploaded to TroopTrack. This bug has been squashed.
2. BSA users (packs, troops, crews, ships, and posts) can edit when achievements were reported to council. This already worked for BSA troop ranks and merit badges, but it wasn’t working for any other achievements.
3. Public websites are now accessible for a month after your TroopTrack subscription expires.
4. On a user’s profile page, under Achievements, the PDF created by clicking the print icon for an achievement will include the achievement’s notes.

We’ve released more updates! These were actually put into production yesterday.

1. Users can export their data in the same format our spreadsheet importers use. Just go to Support > Spreadsheet Import/Export.
2. Don’t send invites or reminders to users who’ve RSVP’d “no”
3. Make it clear that the Send Invites When and the Send Reminder When fields of an event can’t be changed after the event is created. (Temporary change)

We’ve left out some recent updates! Here’s the whole list:

1) Make money deposits more consistent

2) Created a page for requesting user transfers from one troop to another (Support > Request Member Transfer)

3) Make it easier to select trainings by adding a search field to the form

4) When recording award progress for event attendees, show the attendees at the top of the list of people

5) Include retired merit badges in the Eagle Report

6) Improve the process of creating TurboNET Advancement Report pdf’s

7) Make it so editing a user’s patrol updates the user’s level, if applicable

8) Users can merge user accounts from the mobile site

3) We added an explanation about troop document access levels to make them less confusing.

Have a great weekend!

Over the last couple of days we've released a number of bug fixes:

1) The bulk privileges screen now improves users who are not assigned to a patrol

2) In certain cases event schedules weren't appearing on calendars. This is fixed.

3) Some troop documents were not visible to some users. This is fixed.

4) The achievements filter was behaving inconsistently. This is fixed.

5) Award types in the achievements filter are now sorted by name.

We have also officially began working on the next version of the TroopTrack UI. This project has the code name "Samwise" and we will be posting screenshots, videos, etc. on community.trooptrack.com. The main changes you will see are:

1) Modernization of the TroopTrack user interface. It will have a more modern look and feel.

2) It will be super fast. For the techies out there, we will be moving from a server-side HTML architecture powered by Ruby on Rails to a client-side UI built in React with Typescript backed by an API powered by Ruby on Rails.

3) We are replacing the thick menu header with a "drawer" on the side. This will give you more vertical space and looks really nice.

4) Support for some offline capabilities. No internet? So what! Certain read-only pages will keep working anyway.

We're very excited about this and will keep you posted.

Good afternoon everyone. A few quick updates.

1. Web pages require titles now so they don’t get lost or become ghost pages.
2. The Service Summary report now has the headers for each column
3. Achievements are calculated better. (some went over 100% and this caused issues)

Thanks and have a nice day!

Good morning everyone!

A few things we've been working on over the past several weeks:

1. A few enhancements to our Users importer.

2. Announcements are now scoped to den/patrol.

3. We've added some new options for how you format your newsletters. Including custom announcements being on their own row.

4. Added a new tab to Manage > Members > Merit Badge Counselors to display all MBs without a counselor.

5. TONs of small bug fixes and performance enhancements.

6. Cub Scout awards are still a work in progress. They should default to 2016 awards now.

7. Copy event feature is now available. From the Details & RSVP page, you can copy an existing event into a new event with everything except the attachment.

8. Made some enhancements to the way Detailed Reports were displaying information.

9. If you tried the LDS Beta feature and went back to the other type, there was some lingering terminology (venturing) in places. That's fixed.

10. Made some enhancements to helpdesk reports so the helpdesk can better help you.

Biggest item still on the agenda is finishing out the Cub Scout awards work.

Reminder: The helpdesk will be closed on Fridays during the summer.

Thank you and have a great day!

Good morning everyone!

A few quick updates:

1. When the helpdesk restores deleted users, it now also returns their participation information.

2. Email Advancement Reports are functional again.

3. Outside participation without a date is now viewable for past events and prevented for future events.

4. When you apply a Merit Badge to a rank, it now shows the percentage complete of the merit badge on the rank.

5. You can now restore profile avatar pictures to the default outline, upload new pictures, and remove old ones.

6. Some awards showed 0% complete even with a "completed on" date. We have new tools to identify them,  a fix in place to prevent further issues with this, and will be running a program overnight to update any already affected by this.

Thanks and have a great day!
