HELP for leaders

 Getting started...  (it's not difficult!)

To create something new

You can create a number of different types of content:

  • "Activities":  this is an activity in the future: you can enter any number of activities or section sessions, a special activity, the fireworks, a meeting:  anything that has a date.  These will appear on the front page and in the centre column of the section you choose.
  • A "Forum topic":  start a discussion or ask a question on something that concerns you.  This will appear in the forum section.  It will not be visible to those who are not logged in.  And if you choose the leader's forum, it will only be visible to other leaders and the executive committee.
  • Some "Gallery photo"s:  you can add photos to the photo gallery.  Be careful not to identify any of the children.
  • A "Notice":  this goes across the top of the front page and any section page you choose IN LARGE LETTERS.  It could be something as simple as "No Scouts this week!!!"  It could be "Don't forget the Fireworks".  It makes a splash!
  • Add to your own section's page through "Section Notes": this a free-form text that will be posted in the left hand column of your section page.  To keep it fresh, it has an expiry date!

After selecting, your topic, I hope each template makes its it clear what you need to do.  

To EDIT an existing item, click on "Content" in the black toolbar at the top of the screen:  find the content you want to edit and click "edit".  And away you go!

To DELETE: this is the same as edit, but click "delete" instead:   NOTE:  THIS IS NOT RECOVERABLE if you make a mistake!
