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.

I knew there had to be a way!

Thanks

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.
