Indeed. As Paracetamol says too, just don’t declare if you don’t want anyone to know.

But I think as an Activity Commander I’d be pretty much obliged to enquire if a cadet shows up at an event with a medical condition on SMS but no TG23. If they’re under 16 (and hence can’t fill the form in on their own), do I need to send them home as they don’t have proper TG forms? What if I don’t ask and they have a medical episode… hmm.

This is about Bader Tips. Please take other chat elsewhere.

Somebody’s grade isn’t the same as their job title - it’s more like a pay band. It wouldn’t be helpful if somebody was looking to identify subject matter experts. I also work for DfT and I just picked the closest role to mine (unusual phrasing “Architectural Technologist” !?!)

In fairness this is what I reccomendded they do.

SMS still just giving error 500 - Internal server error for me.

On my VP under my profile, it shows my contacts/vetting details, but the other tabs are not showing any details.

When you log in? on a particular page?
I’ve logged in just fine.

Ironically, my occupation is listed on VP, whereas most insurers don’t.

This is on log in. It gives me the spinning wheel then chucks out the error.

What if you try on incognito/private browsing?

Same result :pensive:

If anyone knows a way of getting the Responsible for Information Training to register on VP I would be grateful. I have quite literally done it 10 times. The link to Ultilearn seems defective.

None of my Ultilearn mandatory quals were showing as completed on VP when it launched. An email to the Bader team got it resolved :slight_smile:

I’ve already tried that for myself and staff, I will try again.

And for team analogue.

… i feel real pity for those cfavs who arent digital ready.

We are lucky on my unit as we have enuough tech savvy staff to help others.

Yet my 3 closest units, are run by analogue officers… these units are struggling to make the change as it is.

I fully support the digitisation of our org.

But i also know that, we need much much better support for those volunteers who need it.

We cant afford to lose them.

Question for SharePoint experts:

Is there a way (as an end user) to turn off the SharePoint PDF viewer thing?

My browser does a perfectly good job of rendering PDFs, and on a slow connection it’s driving me insane that it’s an extra page load with tons of JS to get to the “open in browser” button.

Reviving an old thread. A reminder that you can set up email alerts when HQ add a new announcement. Go to the first post in this thread where @mprentice1 shows how. Also my note underneath that this can also be set up to produce weekly alerts for document updates!
