Release 18.3 - Key Features

Subscriber Override of Source Event Notes

Until this release, the Description and Scouter's Notes of the source event were not editable in any section that subscribed to the event.

This meant that any changes to the source event's Description (or Scouter's Notes) would be automatically propagated to all the Sections that had added that event to their own schedules.

But there was no mechanism to add Section-specific details (e.g., that the Venturers are showing up early to act as OOS before the younger sections arrive).

Similarly the source event's Transportation Plan was initially copied to any subscriber event, but then was assumed to be the problem of the subscribing Section, and as such was never updated as a result of any subsequent updates in the source event.

Now, all of Description, Scouter's Notes and the Transportation Plan can be amended or completely overridden.

Additionally, there is now the ability to define a default Transportation Plan that is used in all new events.

Advanced Settings Reorganization

  • Consolidated some of the event-related advanced settings
  • Add “Account” | “Youth-led programming” and add the ability to create events (from Schedule | Options) and “Allow youth to help manage the schedule”.
  • Moved Logins' “Is a default event contact person?” setting into “Account” | “Event defaults”
  • Ability to use default Transportation plan text (set in “Account” | “Event defaults”)

Miscellaneous Enhancements

  • “Schedule” | “Options” | “Show other schedules” should have a grouping-by selector
  • EMAIL: Improved non-delivery message when login is opted out but Mandrill didn't return a reason
  • EMAIL: Emails that use default template (e.g., Welcome Messages) now have better formatting, including the actual product header image and paragraph spacing
  • NEWSFEED: Background of event-based posts for cancelled events now switches to grey
  • Added additional logs for Copy Session Details

Bug Fixes

  • Going to “needs approval” scouter says it's been initialized “Can see all records”. Should be “Can see everyone's basic information”

  • NEWSFEED: SS-5118: shouldn't show event-based posts for deleted events if the event no longer exists (or should show message)
  • SS-5126: Event emails not prepopulating with description
  • SS-4834: Post-import notification email was not listing Other Participants amongst the roster changes
  • ACCOUNT_OUTBOUND_EMAIL was misnamed in client code
  • SS-5516: Incorrect retrieval of carryover loginID
  • SS-4834: Red-herring report that all members were being modified by report
