Help importing from Troopmaster to IA

Postby Quailman » Tue Dec 31, 2013 9:17 am

It's been a couple of months since I imported our advancements to Internet Advancement, but I've done it quite a few times over the last two years. For some reason it doesn't seem to want to cooperate with me today.

I logged in to IA and it took me straight to the roster list where I could individually update members. The options on the left are:

Review Unit Roster
Unit Advancement Summary
Member Summary
Review Advancement Report
View previous Advancement Reports

On the right I can:

Print Membership Cards
Multiple Person Entry

I am looking for a button that says "Upload Advancement File". I thought this appeared after login but before seeing the list of members for individual update.

Somebody help me please.

The page before the one you use to directly enter advancements should give you the option to load roster from Scoutnet OR to upload an advancement file. If you uploaded advancements (or entered them by hand) and did not finish submitting them, you will skip this screen. If someone loaded the roster just to look, you will skip this screen.

To get back to where you can upload the file, you need to hit the "logout" button in the upper right of the screen and start over. You will lose any advancements that were entered and not submitted if you do this. (Just another of those really stupid Scoutnet issues they will probably never fix.....)

I thought that was how it was supposed to work.

Internet Advancement must just be broken. It jumps from the login screen to the manual entry page. Oh well. I was going to upload our advancements so the district got credit for anything we earned before year-end. I hope it's fixed before I need to do it for a COH near the end of January.

{update} Never mind. I tried clicking the start over button at the upper right and it took me to the page with the upload option.
