Re: How Difficult to Retrieve From Archive?
Bryan -
Simply a couple of mouse clicks and presto they're back! If it were only that easy to physically get them back in the troop!! ;-)
Many on this site will encourage the 'printing/storage' of several reports - individual activity, advancement, etc. Do the back-up reports at your disretion, but my input would be if they haven't been around for awhile (5+ years), then let them come back with a clean slat.
Doesn't sound like the prior SM utilized the system very effectively. TM can be an AMAZING ASSET if it is maintained. Takes alot of the hassle out of managing a troop for SEVERAL people IF YOU allow them access!! Advancements, outings, you name it - share the knowledge and watch your troop take off!
Good Luck!
