Setting Up Agenda for Role Reporting

Maybe everyone knew this before, but I never worked with the 1.0 site...

When I was setting up the agenda I was using roles like First Speaker, Second Speaker, Third Speaker ... This created a huge tracking report because each speaking and evaluating position was listed in a separate column in the tracking report. And then the VP Ed had to add everything together. :(

If you spell the name of the position the same (without putting an asterisk on each side) those positions will be tracked in a single column in the database/spreadsheet, even if there are multiple sign-ups in a single meeting like "Speaker" and "Evaluator." :)

This will make a very happy VP Ed.

Nevermind, this actually does not work. After the database had time to reset itself it eliminated the ability to sign-up for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th positions within a meeting.

It sounds like you might be looking for this trick:

You set up the speakers as Speaker #1, Speaker #2 etc. Ditto Evaluator #1, Evaluator #2 etc.

Then the role report aggregates all the Speaker positions and all the Evaluator positions.

You're welcome.

Incidentally, you're not restricted to numbers after the # sign. At CBD Toastmasters, we have Table topics evaluator #odd and Table topics evaluator #even. It works just the same.
