[Deptheads] Sign-in Sheets Event Data

[Strategicon Department Heads]

At least you have 5 months to make the changes.

Different priorities when the page was created. The field names are changing across the whole site, and I’m trying to be consistent.
I didn’t realize how significant the order or labeling was, and you were the first to comment about it.

You may have to adapt some more when we add your requested fields, because the pre-reg list is always going to be last. At that point, the checkbox will become the ability to turn on or off those extra fields.

By the way, what does each department use (as in software to do the merge) to generate their sheets? If all goes as planned, I’ll need to generate my own sheets starting Orccon.

Now, we managed to fix it manually, but I wanted to let you know that the columns had been moved around and that this may result in some headaches for other departments as they go to make and then print their sheets. I have included what it looks like in an intermediate state once I pull down the data, before fixing it and before performing our mailmerge. You’ll see at the top of the column what that column was originally and what it has been changed to. We did ours tonight because we have among the fewest events, and headaches are the easiest for us to fix, so we make a good guinea pig; I thought that would give you a nice early heads up if one was needed.
