Requested Features
for BadgeManager Plus

We love your comments, suggestions and even criticisms! This page documents the pending requests that are not yet incorporated into the product, but might be some day. Feedback is always welcome.

bulletBadges associated with signs, to prevent the dreaded "double-dipping".   Any badge that is associated with a sign could not be used to fulfill other requirements, and vice-versa.
bulletAdd insignia, troop identification, wings etc to the master badge database so leaders can mark these as part of the shopping list.
 
bulletWhen recording progress for the troop (as opposed to individual scouts), BadgeManager should offer to fetch the attendance list of a selected meeting in TroopManager and use the list for marking activities.
 
bulletAdd a yes/no flag to badges:  Is this a Troop Badge?  If YES it means the troop is officially working together on the badge.  If NO it means the badge was added to the troop database because one or more scouts are working on it (or, have completed it) on their own.

Background:  The Scout Summary form has a tab labeled "Not Started".  This tab lists all the badges that the scout has not yet started.   The list can get very long because it potentially includes every badge that has been copied/entered into your Troop database.  The above-mentioned flag could be used to include/exclude the ad hoc badges.
 
bulletAdd some form of badge inventory feature where a troop leader can indicate extra badges that they have in-hand.  When printing the "Shopping List" report, show these badge counts and a net total so the leader knows precisely how many need to be purchased.  It will be a lot of work to implement such a feature.  How many of you beloved users think this feature is important?

Other requested features we're considering:

bulletGrid-style editing for scout badge/activity completion information, similar to the grids used in TroopManager Plus.
bulletBetter integration with TroopManager Plus meetings and events outcomes, especially as this related to mixed-level troops.
bulletBetter support for bridging.
bulletNew scout report: a concise list of the badges in-progress and completed activities.
