Q&A / any hardware requirements

« Last post by tkfunke on October 12, 2023, 07:52:24 PM »

We have started the process to move from the 'old world' into the 'real world'.  That is for about 2 years I have been trying to find a way to push our club from the old server database into the cloud.  (I will miss Rick) but thanks to Rick retiring I have gotten everybody starting to ask questions finally.  Could any one start me off with: Are there any requirements for getting any IPADs, smart phones, tablets, or anything else that i haven't thought of?  I apprieciate any and all comments and any and all help.

Thanks,
Tom

Enhancement Requests / Re: Speed Check-in Option

Thanks for letting us know about a feature you would like. Would you give us some more details about how you do check-in and use the custom boxes? It would help us to understand how you envision this working for you and also consider how it might be helpful to other clubs.

Thanks.
Annette

It would be great if we could choose between club attendance and the custom check-in columns to activate the speed check-in.

The award for completion of the Cubbies entrance book is a book level award and won't default to received.

As to the item that is triggering, we updated the section group triggers for that new green emblem but neglected to update the book level award that also used it.

I fixed your database so the new 11093 will trigger. You may want to review your inventory counts and make sure the quantity in stock is correct for 11093 since that is the one that will be decreased now.

I also removed the multi-pack ordering information on 11093. The 'regular' item is a pack of 20 and that is the only way it comes.

For anyone else that needs to change this:

*Go to Admin > System Settings > Awards > Book Awards.
*Select Base Club Name = Cubbies; Book Name = Apple Acres Booklet (Yr1).
*In the grid on the right, select the existing award (11092) and set the Expiration Date. (We generally use 6/30 prior to the club year with the change but you can use any date you would like.) Then, click the checkmark at the bottom of the grid to post/save the change.
*Above the grid, click where it shows 'click here to add new row' and begin typing "Green.....". Select "Green Apple Achievement Emblem" (11093) from the dropdown. Set the Effective Date. (We generally use 7/1) and the Expiration Date (12/31/2030 is our current default.) Click the checkmark at the bottom of the grid to post/save the change.
*Repeat for Book Name = Apple Acres Booklet (Yr2).
 
Note: if item #11093 (green emblem) does not come up as a selection, go to the Inventory record's Club Usage tab and be sure it is marked to be used as an Award and also as a Book Award.

Green Emblem 11092 is discontinued, but when the patch is earned for completing Entrance Booklet, it comes up with that item and not 11093.  That item shows it is a Book Award and doesn't automatically show received.  Is that correct?

You can track training for leaders in the Windows App under Leaders > Training History. You can also add your own custom training items. Go to Admin > System Settings > Generic Lookups and select the Category of Leadership Training on the left. On the right, add the item's Description (like "Mandatory Reporter Training"), the base club (use 'Awana' to apply to all leaders), and check that it is required.

These custom training items will then be available in the list of options when adding a training item to a leader's record.

To quickly add these records to all of your leaders, use multi-select in the Leader's grid along with the pop-up menu item of "Add Leadership training record".

Q&A / State Required Volunteer Training

California is now requiring a Volunteer Training Course to work with minors.  There are two types of Training -- Mandated Reporter Training and then Volunteer Training. Would you be able to add these trainings to Training Module?  I do record these trainings on a spread sheet, but I thought it would be good to put it into the database. What do you think?
