SOAR

Under certain conditions the highlighting (yellow) for the current day on the Calendar was being shown a day ahead.

This was due to a timezone issue that has been fixed.

Multi-day events with a start date prior to the current date were not showing in the Upcoming Events.

This has been fixed.

In addition, the start and end date for multi-date events are now displayed.

A new site maintenance feature has been implemented that will assist in providing information to your unit members who access your unit website. This will help insure that should your unit members not be able to access your unit website, they will receive information as to why and when they will be able to access your site again.

This feature is used for the following:

• Daily Backup - Sites are not available during backup to insure a valid backup. This occurs around 2:30 AM MST
  
• Site Upgrades - When we roll out new features or fixes. These usually only last 5-10 minutes.

We have implemented site monitoring that scans our systems every 5 minutes to test functionality. Should a problem be detected, our support team is paged. This will insure that we are notified of any issues as soon as possible and have the ability to address in a timely manner.

SOAR's Backup Policy can be found in the Online Help under Policies.

In addition to our standard daily full backups, you can now receive a backup file via email on a weekly basis. This will provide an additional level of backup and peace of mind as a SOAR customer. To activate this feature go to Control Panel/Backup.

We continue working on the Calendar to provide better usability and advanced features. We are very pleased to announce the new Calendar List View feature !

The List View of the Calendar has been completely redone to provide a useful list of future events in a table format. With this upgrade you can now easily create a list of upcoming events with all relevant information. You can also select the number of months to include in the listing. The Print button will also provide a Calendar List View suitable for printing, without other portions of the unit website displayed such as navigation and header.

The login block (top left of all pages) has been upgraded in anticipation of the upcoming Roster Feature. The block contains the title "User", the user's login name (centered), a link for the user to change their profile information (email address, password, phone, etc.), and a link to logout from the unit website. The "My Profile" link will not be shown for shared accounts (member, leader, admin) as unit members should not be able to change information on those accounts, only an administrator should.

Moving forward, this block will provide the opportunity for unit members to add/modify additional information about themselves and their boys.

Your website members can now access and change their information themsevles.

The memeber's username located in the login box in the top left of the screen is now a link to their profile information. They can change their email address, password, and personal information.
