billardis Topic Author Offline Senior Member Posts: 61 Thank you received: 4	So, I can't pull a past template and plug/over-write each function/description: so I write it all anew, through Table Topics (rewrite the detail), Speaker No. 1 (rewrite the detail)....with each function? I thought I'd done that years ago to plug in lots of detail from past agenda? Cheers! Bill Ardis McLean, VA ASBC Toastmasters Club No. 1269860

Bill, go and build an Agenda Template in the Admin console. Thank you, Brian McDonald DTM, PDD D61 FTH Lead Technical Support member Cataraqui Valley Toastmaster 9560

Building a new set of agendas.... 5 years 6 months ago #72213

billardis Topic Author Offline Senior Member Posts: 61 Thank you received: 4	I built the agenda but...how do I convert it to the agenda that will live on the needed website? Also in developing the agenas, each item which appears with a 'pencil' symbol isn't accurate. It won't allow you to alter the to/from field where the length of time is concerned. Can this be fixed?

When you use the pencil to edit the role, the role description shows at the bottom of the page. There is a dropdown box below the role description "Agenda item assigned duration" - you can select the time there - that will automatically adjust the times displayed in the time column
