Instructions for Secretariat:
Step 1: Enter the GNSO Council meeting date text block below (e.g, 1 August 2013). As soon as you hit <Enter> your page will automatically be created with the prefix "GNSO Council Attendance-".
Step 2: Click <Save> at the bottom of the next page immediately, but DO NOT attempt to enter any information into the fields at this time.
Step 3: Now that your new page has been created, click <Edit Contents> on the top of menu bar (please DO NOT click <Edit>).
Step 4: When you are finished, remember to <Save> the page (see bottom of the screen).
- IMPORTANT: You will see an error message in the Percent column alerting that the {eval-data} macro expression cannot be evaluated. You may IGNORE this warning. As soon as you enter the data and hit the <Save> button, the expressions evaluate properly and the errors disappear! I hope that, in a future Scaffolding version, this problem will be fixed; but, for now, it is only a nuisance and does not affect the operation of the template.
- Finally, don’t forget to <Save> your page when finished entering the attendance data. (Note: as before, it may help you to either print out the prior meeting report or open it in another window/tab, so that you can easily see the prior cumulative totals).
Immediately following the last formal session of each Council, please ask the Administrator to complete the following actions:
- Create the next Year folder (e.g., IGM Nov 2013-Oct 2014)
- Revise the macro on the Attendance Logs page so that all new pages will be placed in that next year folder automatically.
- Update the template to (a) change the Term/Year indicator for each Councilor who is remaining, and (b) add any newly elected Councilors.
