It’s back! The Realignment sandbox is up for testing. Here’s a few notes to help you along.
First, do NOT alter someone elses district. Do not put your clubs in someone elses district. If a club doesn’t belong in your district, put them in District 0. As yet, there’s no way to pull out a club that’s been put there but that’ll be coming soon.
Remember, districts are either two numbers (single digit districts have a leading 0) or a letter F or U. There is very little error checking so if you mess up the district, you’ll lose your club.
TO get to your sandbox go to http://toastmasters.sysadmininc.com/sandbox.html?district=xx (where xx is your district number or letter).
There are two things you can do here.
First, if you move a marker, it will move the club to a new location. This is good if you need to fine tune a location. Remember to send me an update if you move a club, and the club should update their location with WHQ too.
After you’ve moved a marker you’ll be given the chance to accept the new location, just close the window if you don’t want to move.
Secondly, you can now change the district, division, and area of a club. Just click on the club’s marker and it’ll bring up the usual information window. At the bottom it’ll show the current district, division, and area. Change to suit and click submit. It’ll run off to another page to do the update. Click the given link to return and the club should be updated. It should be possible to form new divisions and areas using this method also.
TODO: Update club information (take updated club information and add it to the sandbox)
RESET CLUB: (Take the clubs original district, division, and area and reset it)
Find a club: For those missing clubs that may have been mis-entered or moved, this’ll find it and let you move it.
Sycn new/old clubs: Bring over new clubs if they’re added to the district and remove old ones as they don’t renew
Reports: It should be possible to generate realignment reports in Excel for easy manipulation (list which clubs go to where – maybe not for this year tho 
)
