Experience with "Maintain Offices Served" ?

Post by BrianShoe »

Fellow PC+ Admins -
Has anyone else worked with the "Maintain Offices Served" function?
I've observed strange behavior that I believe is telling me I need to re-index. Here's the sequence:
* Membership -> Activities and Skills -> Maintain Offices Served
* In the "Maintain Offices Served" dialog, L(ocate) a member (any member will do), then click <Add>.
* In the Office Details subdialog, click the Search (magnifying glass) button beside "Skill:" to open the Locate list.

Everywhere else in PC+, when I open this type of list and double-click on an item, the list closes and the item I double-clicked is entered in the subject field (in this case, "Skill").

While entering a bunch of church office data this evening, however, I found that double-clicking on a selection in this list would populate the subject field with some other number! :?

Mind you, I had revised our activities/skills structure a day ago, and haven't reindexed since. Also, when I try this same sequence on my "shadow" installation, the double-click gives exactly what I expect. The "shadow" copy runs on my laptop; I back up the PC+ data onto a USB memory stick at the church, then restore this backup onto my laptop . . . recall that PC+ forces a reindex operation on restoring from a backup. :idea:

Has anyone else worked with maintaining offices? If so, have you seen any strange behavior on selecting from the list?

I've seen similar things happen in the Activities and Skills area, but not necessarily the Maintain Offices Served. In those cases, a reindex cleared it up. It certainly won't hurt anything.
