Your Unit Meets Irregularly But Your WOW Website Assumes You Meet Monthly: The Fix...

WOW gets its information about the meeting place, day, and time of you flotilla, division or district from the "Unit Record" in AuxDirectory (AuxOfficer). Your flotilla commander, when logged onto AuxDirectory can change this, and other information, which will then show up in WOW the next time you open a fresh Web browser and go to your site.

WOW expects you unit to meet monthly, and on the "About this Unit" page, automatically tacks on "of each month" after the meeting day that you enter. For example, if your meeting day in AuxDirectory is "3rd Monday", then WOW displays "3rd Monday of each month".

What do you do if your unit meets irregularly, and you want to suppress that "of each month" text? Easy: simply enter a pound sign ("#") at the end of the meeting day field, and WOW will suppress the extra text.

For example, Division 095-45 meets every other month, from January. When the SO-CS entered "3rd Thurs in Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, and Nov" she got "3rd Thurs in Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, and Nov of each month" -- a nonsensical result.

However, when she entered "3rd Thurs in Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, and Nov#" (note the #-sign after "Nov") WOW displayed "3rd Thurs in Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, and Nov".

This can be useful for Districts, for example, that have four (4) meetings a year on specific dates: "Jan 23, Apr 15, July 23, Nov 1. Other times by announcement.#" entered into AuxDirectory will reproduce only that text (minus the #-sign).

If your meeting times are also irregular, leave the meeting time field blank. You can add the time in the meeting day field, if desperate, as in "Jan 23 (0900), Apr 15 (1300), July 23 (0900), Nov 1 (1030). Other times by announcement.#".
