The commissioner tracking system is a good idea, but it really only goes half-way as to how effective it could be. Can we turn it into a one stop unit status reporting system that the commissioners can use in making their monthly reports? Here are a few things I would add:

Unit Status Update - we used the red, yellow, green system
Unit Status Comments - If a unit is red or yellow, what do they need help with?
Automatic Monthly Reminders - Send a reminder to all registered UC's each month to go in and update their status
District Commissioner Access - Ideally, each unit will have a UC, but in reality, they don't. When a unit does not have a UC, the DC or ADC often picks up the slack. They should have the ability to update the status of any unit under their care.

Now, some of this may be in existance, but since professionals don't have access to it, I'm only going off of what my DC tells me.

All council or district commissioners to add a focus to the unit commissioners focus. To be viewed by all Unit Commissioners.

This idea is already on the list of enhancements for UVTS. Thank you for your submission.
Allow ADCs DCs and staff to post visit information on units that are within their service area. UCs will then be able to see contact that staff and their commissioner leadership has had with their units.

The Unit Visit Tracking System was created with a great deal of input and design by volunteer commissioners. The idea has merit and was discussed however it was decided it not be part of the initial rollout. It will be shared with the programmers for future enhancements.
