Can you possibly change the calendar so that it does not default to “events that family members are invited to” to “all events.” This is confusing a lot of the parents because they are not seeing meetings/events. I do understand that they can just click the all events button but not every parent remembers that. Or maybe have a calendar settings button so that everyone has an option as to what they want to see on the calendar.

Good Morning @JeremyErickson,
Thank you for using the TroopTrack Community!
Your TroopTrack account owner can go to Manage > Settings > Edit Troop Settings and change the Default Calendar View for All Users to “All Events”. That would be up to the leaders and account owner though. Ask them and see what they say.
Thanks and have a great day!

This needs to be, and should be, an individual setting.
Some of my leaders make events and do not properly invite people, and thus are
invisible to us more senior leaders, and more than a few events have fallen through.
Hi @DonaldFox,
Every TroopTrack user can see all events by clicking “All Events” button in the calendar. It’s just a couple of clicks to change it so it defaults to this, but most troops and families only want individuals and households to see events that pertain to them. We’ve made it really easy to be adjustable to however you’d like it to be.
Best wishes.
Yes, but if I change from one month the next, I must click the show all events, each time.
Hi @DonaldFox,
Sure, we can consider making that a feature. 
Let’s see if more people in the community are experiencing anxiety because of this. If we find the problem is ongoing or vast, we would be glad to make a change here.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Another issue with it, just sent to me by one of my peeps…
Look at calendar, with All events listed. Select an event, and delete it.
Calendar defaults back to Events I have been invited to. You need to reselect
all.
Thanks. thats all I have, my $0.02
Hey again @DonaldFox,
I really appreciate your engagement here. We appreciate any customer who helps us make our product a better one.
The solution I originally presented to you may be your best option for now. Set the default view to All Events" rather than just ones a family member is invited to. It defaulting back to just those events is the way it was designed to work unless you change the system default.
That may be your best solution until we have time to further consider your request.
Thanks!
Hi mlsully,
I am an account owner for a new account started this fall. I don’t have the options you suggest to change the default settings:
Your TroopTrack account owner can go to Manage > Settings > Edit Troop Settings and change the Default Calendar View for All Users to “All Events”.
I would love to set the default to All Events. If you have an update on how to do so, I’d appreciate it.
The other issue is that people looking at the calendar on a moblile device don’t have a button to click all events and they aren’t seeing them. Any thoughts on how to see “All Events” on a mobile device?
TIA
The Calendar Settings are actually under Manage > Settings > Webmaster Tools.
In both the Mobile App as well as the Mobile website when going to the calendar there is a down arrow in the upper right hand corner that is a drop down, in the drop down is All Events, Family Events, My Events and Going.
I can only see the down arrow if I turn my phone sideways, otherwise it is masked by the blue bar. I’m glad to know this calendar view is available as I like it much better than the vertical list.
Unfortunately, I do not have Manage > Settings > Webmaster Tools.
I do not even have Settings under Manage. Hmm
Ideas welcome.
That will depend on your screen size and possibly the settings for your Unit. I do remember in the past having multiple header lines, that may be specific to what Theme you are using as I could not find a setting for it now.
The Edit Troop Settings is accessed from the Gear Menu up in the top bar next to your name.
Thanks Aaron!
I had looked under the gear option before but hadn’t seen any way to change the default calendar.
I now see it under Webmaster Tools. Problem solved!
I very much appreciate your fielding questions for TT at this time!
Alicia
