Scout Report

Can you still go to the Scout Report and go back to previous years to find out when you got your Scouts? Jim

Emil Pampell-Tx · Sat Jan 02, 2016 4:10 pm

YES: Here is how I do it (there may be an easier way). click on the following:

1)navigate
2)research
3)scout arrival study
4)view another season to desired year (choose the year)
5)change season (click on it to change it, you must do this)
6)view results in list format
7)choose a state (just like you used to do it, its a clear map of all the states, and from here on its just like the old system)

I hope that I did not skip a step, good luck Jim

The feature is only good for viewing people's names.
I wish they would include the city and state like the old one did.

apundt, if you click on the state (I live in Texas), it then gives you the city and the name of the landlord, along with the date. Maybe I do not understand what you mean, but the data seems to be there for me

How would I get a list of all Scouts in 2015/2014/2013 from Austin,TX?
The old feature you could click the city-State and also get a listing just like the Name field does today.

2015 Austin (other years should be equally easy...just click on the arrow in the city column to sort alphabetically by city):

Thanks kehunter, I did not know that you could click on "city" and get the listing. I tried it on "name" and also got an alphabetically listing...thats good to know, thanks

We used to be able to click on the City "Austin" and get 2015, 2014, 2013 on to 1999 data I believe in one view.
Seems cumbersome to have to it for every year 17 times now.

Click on your own name, Alton, and you will get reports for multiple years:

Can a feature be made to click on the city Austin and get all Austin area reports for all years on the forum?

Louise Chambers · Mon Jan 04, 2016 1:58 pm

We are still doing some fine-tuning on search features, and we will let everyone know when things are updated. I can't say for sure about what will be added to existing features, but we know people would like that one in particular.

The "Old" Scout Report site showed "All" your submitted reports for each year you reported. The new one does not. You get a few years & then have to go back & load a different year to get more years/reports. It's a bit complicated & confusing. Hope they can get it working better & less complicated.

If you go in and say that you go to 2015 and click on your name during the year you will see all the postings for arrival dates that you have posted over the years in the Scout Report.

I tried that. I got 2008, 2012, 2014 & 2015. None of the rest showed. Then I tried a different year & got a few others, but then some of the newer reports were missing. I can not get it to show all of my reports, which only go back to 2006. I had joined/reported before that, but when I got a new computer I had to rejoin & it lost all of my previous reports.

Sometimes I wish more people would listen to the old saying,(if it aint broke, don't fix it.) The more I see of this new forum the less I like it.

Louise Chambers · Wed Jan 06, 2016 9:03 am

Hang in there, Donnie - we absolutely needed to upgrade the forum, it was waaaayyyyy out of date, no support available for such an old version.

Toy, probably your scout reports vary in some way, such as having your name slightly different. I'll take a look - if someone reports as John D. Landlord year after year, and then reports as John Landlord - those will separate under name sort. We are still fine tuning sort features on scout report and may be able to add sort by city/all years.
