As questions arise about the use of our site, we will post both the question and the answer here.
The following questions were asked:
- How do I add start and ending times into the activities?
- How do I change an activity type? I would like to edit the activity type to add words such as cycling or merit badge.
Answer from eTrail:
- Right now you cannot enter start and stop times. However, in about two weeks, we are updating how we track activities. We are integrating a calendar function with this. You will then be able to add start and stop times. Using the calendar makes it a lot easier to work with all of the activities.
- To change the activity type
- Click on Activities from the main menu
- Click on the Activity Summary tab
- Locate the activity you want to modify and click the edit button
- Now you can modify the Activity details.
Changing Activity types. I can change the activity description but I cannot change the activity types such as changing meeting to merit badge or adding another type of activity to the existing list. thanks Gary.
I would like to be able to schedule events in the future and then have eTrail send out reminder/notification emails to the parents and leaders.
Thanks for a great program!
Adding activities would be greatly enhanced if you could import Excel or .CSV files (even if the header/categories) was fixed. We could then import our calendars to the activity and record the participation for each scout. What say ye?
I was wondering how you would record both the miles on a backpacking trip and the number of nights for camping in the activities module?
I was wondering how you would add both the miles and the number of nights camped if the activity was an overnight backpacking trip?
