Scout Arrival Page: Search Options

[dhjohnson]

Hey Louise,
Is there a way to search by day collectively combing all states? It would be nice to monitor arrivals by the day so perhaps some patterns emerge. Right now I don't see any other options than opening each state and adding them up manually! Are there other search options for monitoring new arrivals?
Good luck to you in the 2014 martin season!

Debbie, right now all search options (date for multiple years, city, landlord name) are all within a state or province, not for data overall. I will ask if there are other options - it's always good to have additional options.

Thanks for checking Louise!
Just curious to overlay wind directions and speed with martin arrivals by state. Sorry I'm too analytical at times!
Waiting patiently in NC!

I always thought it would be great to see the scout report maps, from any given day, from the previous year. I am sure that would not be possible though.

Billy,
I agree with you. Picture this...a database of just what is reported here on the Scout Arrival page. You would probably have to limit the data to 3 or 4 years max. Excel gets heartburn with data spaning more than 16,000 lines long. But you can search several ways and sort in a variety of ways! Spreadsheets are wonderful and simple analytical tools.
What about it Louise with an "e" please?

Debbie,

If my magic wand was working, we'd have those options right now I am getting confirmation from the young whippersnapper techies as to whether or not any other search options are available. I don't think so, but will find out. If more options were built in from the start, we'd have shared them, and if they are not already built in, I am pretty sure we can't redo the data system now. But, with our future web upgrade, hopefully it will be an option then.

Fair enough, Thanks Louise!
Have a great martin season!
Debbie
