Hello,
Currently, when a member checks their attendance status indicating they are "Not Attending," this status only appears when the agenda is printed. It is not visible on the on-screen version of the agenda.
Because of this gap, members currently have to manually add a meeting note at the bottom of the agenda to let the Toastmaster, General Evaluator, VPE, and other attending members for a given meeting know that they will not be available to take on a create. This creates extra work for the member as well as the Toastmaster, VPE knowing who will be available and relies on members remembering to do it, which sometimes gets missed.
Suggestion: allow the "Not Attending" response to automatically display directly on the on-screen agenda , the same way it currently does on the printed version and to also show as a default setting that automatically changes to "Attending" upon the member signing up for a role or to speak. This would let the Toastmaster, GE, VPE, and other members see attendance status at a glance, and knowing what members will be available.
This small change would save time during meeting preparation and help ensure role assignments and back-up plans are handled more smoothly.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. I'm happy to provide more detail or examples if it would help with implementation.
Best regards,
Anthony
