RSVPs tell you who intends to come. Readiness tells you who is actually cleared to get in the car. It is a per-event checklist covering permission slips, payment, health forms, and anything else your unit requires.
Add readiness items to an event
- Create or edit the event.
- Find the Readiness checklist section.
- Add a permission slip, a payment, or a custom item of your own — a signed medical form, a gear list, a merit badge prerequisite.
- Save.
Track who is ready
Once an event has at least one readiness item, a Readiness tab appears on it, beside Details and Attendees. It shows a grid of attendees against items so you can see at a glance who is still outstanding, and tick things off as they come in.
The tab only appears when there is something to track
No readiness items means no Readiness tab — that is why you will not see it on an ordinary troop meeting. Add an item to the event and the tab appears. The tab is leader-only.
Payment and health form columns fill themselves in
Two columns are worked out for you rather than ticked by hand. If the event has a cost and your unit tracks finances, the paid column follows the finance ledger. If the event requires a health form, that column is computed by comparing each member's form against the event dates — so it goes stale on its own when a form expires, which is exactly what you want before a summer camp.
