Agenda Item Mysteriously Disappeared from Agenda and Agenda Template

8 years 7 months ago

On July 29, 2017, I was notified by the Club President that the agenda for the upcoming meeting was missing one agenda item: "Speech Objectives - Evaluator 3". When I checked, I found that it was missing in all the new agendas another executive member had just added as well. To my surprise, it was also missing in the agenda template. Since November 2013, we've been using the same agenda template, and it had always had that particular agenda item. So, it was very odd that the agenda item mysteriously disappeared. I had to go into each new agenda and added it back manually. Would you please take a look to see why this happened, and see if you could fix the issue so it won't happen again? Thank you very much for your help.

Does anyone else have access to the agenda settings? Or does anyone else have the admin login details?

Someone must have accidentally removed the item from the template instead of a dated agenda sometime between creating the last set of agendas and the current set. All of the dated agendas would be the same as the template used to create them.

Only I have access to the agenda template and I didn't remove the item.

Ok, I will weigh in here...

1. Check w/ people who are Agenda Creators: Your President, VPE, and Treasurer, per your Access Settings.
(Not sure why your Treasurer needs to create agendas. :? )

2. What was the first date that the item was missing? I see three roles that can edit the agenda. Who had those roles?

3. Anyone that can edit an agenda can remove a role. (See #2 above)

What is likely is that your club was using a prior dated agenda as a template for the next agenda. (many clubs do that) At some point somebody decide to save the agenda as a template.

If there was a problem with the agenda system, then we would likely have many of the 7000+ clubs that use the agenda system posting about it here in very strong terms. You are the first poster about this. There *could* be a problem with they system, but based on past experience and probability, my instincts are telling me "user error" on this.
