Emptying Checkboxes
This job is all about lifelong learning--and I learn most from all of you!
It was brought up at one of my recent BR workshops that although the "fee paid" checkbox is emptied out during year-end processing, the other checkboxes are not. If they were checked this year, they would remain checked even as you begin the new year.
That's not a good thing, given that we're using them mostly for forms that have to be submitted every year. Here's a really quick way to fix that. Immediately after you do year-end processing, go to File>>Member Query. Choose the Select menu, Select All. Then, on the Actions menu, choose "Set Behavior checkbox to False". Same thing with the other two checkboxes, assuming you're using the fourth (user-defined) box. Then everyone will start out with all those boxes empty!
If you have more questions about the year-end process or how to change a group of records quickly, let me know and we'll see if it makes the blog list!
