Release 3.6 - Key Features
Super-Convenient Tabular Data Entry
When first entering your section's records, it used to be a bit of slog entering all the records. But now when you look at a “Completion” report, you have an “Edit” button that lets you easily mark as complete multiple requirements for multiyouth (i.e., in bulk).
Similarly, when you look at the details for a particular badge or award, you have an “In bulk” button that lets you update lots of youth, quickly
After drilling down on an event's “Related Badges”, the “In Bulk” button grants you the option to filter the tabular data to only show those youth who participated in the event, making the updating of records after a camp much easier.
"My Path" Report
Scouts and Venturers now have a “My Path” report that shows the remaining steps towards the CSA or Queen's Venturer Award.
Initially new Scouts/Venturers will find this is a huge list, but after a couple of years working through the leader-provided program, the list will become more and more manageable so that the youth who are close to completion can quickly see what they need to focus on.
PL/APL 6er/2nd
Printing
More printer-friendly formatting on several reports
Better scaling on wide reports (e.g., “Completion” Reports)
Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
The Terms of Service (TOS) are presented to you to accept/decline the first time you use the app on a particular computer/browser.
The TOS references the privacy policy that governs how the data you enter will be shared (or not), which is especially important given that we are dealing with children's data. Basically, I won't rent, sell, or share any of the data
Discussions of the implications of the privacy policy are included in the release notes email that will go out to all existing users (it's too long for a LinkedIn discussion!)
The terms and the privacy policy are likely to evolve as time goes by, as I want to align with Scouts Canada's, which undoubtedly will be obliged to at least conform to PIPEDA.
