Change Name & Section

This is where Tracker gets customised for each Group, Section or Unit. In Tracker 7 the details of each Unit, Group or Section are held independently and may be selected when required for reports and statistical information. These details are used throughout the database to show the correct headings on reports and allow details such as those required for a Census return to be completed automatically.

The Name of  the Unit, Group or Section being managed is selected in the Group Name drop down box. Typing a new name into the Group Name field will pop up a query box to allow you to add a new group.

In Tracker 7 the main contact person must already be in the database. When a name is selected in the Contact Name drop down box the rest of their details are filled in automatically from their Personal Details form.

If you have a bitmap or jpeg of the Group’s badge or logo then it can be added by clicking on Select Badge and browsing for the badge jpeg or bitmap file.  If you do not have your own then you may like to try using Scouting section clipart from Scoutbase.

The Edit Name button opens up a small dialogue box to enable Group names to be corrected.

Click on Make Default to make the selected group the default. This is the one shown on the Main Menu form and is used as the default in various forms and reports throughout the database.

Delete removes the selected group from the database
