rankings\supervisor

The ranking system for the supervisors is not working for us.   I think this is based on join date but that is not always the case.  Any way to make allow us to set a supervisor or rank our members?

Thank you

Nothing should be based on date.  Here's a link to how the supervisor rules work in MM: http://www.radishworks.com/MissionManager/Help.htm#Supervisor Rules

I'm sorry but I do not understand the directions.

Attached is the sample of how I have our support unit setup.  I think the only difference is that we changed Squad to Crew.  You will see the leader and then a group a and group b under that user.   We also have a team director and a deputy director above this leader.

Setting up automatic org charts can be tricky.  Every team has different leadership, different ranks, team dividers, etc. etc. MM has to weed through all that and produce something that's "right" for your settings, no easy task.  Therefore MM has pretty strict rules to play nice with your teams data .   Someday MM may have more of a "build your own, drag and drop" org chart, but since there are tons of other programs to do that it seems like MM development effort should be put elsewhere - at least for now. 

With that said, I took a peek at your settings and at first glance it looks like your "Small Unit Group Field Name:" Configuration setting is a problem.  The member fields in this section should not include any "mission status" states.  I.e. "On scene, etc.".   If you really want to keep this type of member status on the members screen, make it a "Member Certification Level".   This post should have some helpful information: http://www.radishworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=553.0, there is some very relevant information in the links to the MM help here.

Hope that helps.

I don't know if its possible to do a join.me session to look at our setup.    I understand how tricky doing this can be but some of our settings and the output we are getting I just do not understand. 

I think it that the supervisor that is listed in the user status come from this automatic org chart. Is this something we can turn off or on?  It is confusing our members and sending out the wrong information.

The On Scene Support is a mission status but it is also a unit name.  Our support group has Net Control Operators and On Scene personal that have very different rolls for the group.

Thank you,

"Supervisor:" has been removed from the user Status emails to avoid any confusion.

Darn..  We got a good laugh when a K9 team members supervisor was one of the other K9 handlers dogs .

Yeah we figured it out when Duke ordered a few cases of Scooby Snacks.
