Very Simple Questions from a very simple person

Very Simple Questions from a very simple person was created by Cube
Hello. If a club passes a sign-up sheet at a meeting, it would probably be my job to enter these names into the online agenda. I don't see any functions for doing this. Maybe I would have to have some kind of status in order to do that but I can't see any function for doing that either. We have an adenda admin but this shouldn't be his burden.
How can I make it so I can do this, and then, how can I do it?
Thank you kindly.

You have to be the:
Site Admin, or VPED you have update access to all agendas
Chair or Toastmaster of the meeting then you have edit capabilities to the agenda you are assigned to

Actually, I figured it out. If I hit the pencil button to edit, I was presented with what looked like a help screen, illustrated with pictures of tabs that were supposed to be on my agenda. It turns out that that those illustrations on the help screen really were the tabs that I was supposed to use.
Who would have guessed?

Brian, I did not know that about ToD. Interesting. I'll have to make sure everyone in my club understands that to take the pressure off our VP Ed.
Cube, if you inform your members to go online, and just PICK the role they want, you won't have to do all that transcribing.

I also recommend setting up Role Change Notifications so you get notified when someone signs up on line. This allows you to have it both ways... using both the sign-up sheet and the online sign-ups.

Here is what determines who can edit the agendas other than the VPED and admin.
Translation:
The toastmaster is the member assigned to the first role that starts with *Toastmaster. (ASEQUENCE is just this role's # place in the sequence of items in the agenda.)
OR
The toastmaster is the member assigned to the last role sorted in descending alpha order that contains the word Toastmaster.
OR
The toastmaster is the member assigned to the last role sorted in descending alpha order containing Contestmaster or Chair. (To handle contest agendas and clubs that do not use the term Toastmaster.)
That is the way it works right now. I have never liked doing a pattern match to find the member that is the Toastmaster since it may not always find a match, so this may change in the future to where you explicitly identify who is the Toastmaster.

Code:
The code does a pattern match using the following MySQL criteria
(for those who know what MySQL is):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"ROLE like '*Toastmaster%' order by ASEQUENCE",
"ROLE like '%Toastmaster%' order by ROLE DESC",
"(ROLE like '%Toastmaster%' or ROLE like '%Contestmaster%' or ROLE like '%Chair%') order by ROLE DESC"
