If anyone knows how to do this, please share! I've been using ICS for years now and I don't know if there is a way to get in the back and load a data file. It's much more of a click-and-point sort of application

Hope someone out there is an ICS superuser. I've not ever touched it. If it is point and click, look for a pull down menu that lists "Export" and "Import" Some newer software has an elaborate help function.

Is the company that makes ICS? Interactive Collegiate Solutions Maybe you could ask one of their support staff.

Our electronic devices are the members own smart phones. It will be out first year. We had to upgrade our connection to the internet and the Wifi capacity in order to be ready for the peak volume.
Still, I think a text delimited spreadsheet should be upload-able. Just don't know how you would get one in the first place. Still there are others doing it, so maybe it is possible for you?

Wow. How times have changed! Voting electronically has to strip HOURS off the total process. And I guess it's not too much to expect each member to have a smart phone

We voted with them at Convention last year - we call them clickers. It's a hand held device configured with yes/no for the vote on an individual. Some groups also use a hand held scanner.

Yes, we have something like this. We decided against using phones because we didn't want everyone to have their phones out during MS.

Yes - using the cell phones could be a problem!

Our larger chapters have used this. I can't go into details obviously, but it really is amazing, as long as you have it set up and test it out before they're all sitting there.

Also, there is a cell phone signal jammer that you can install if the young ladies don't have enough restraint.

We figured out that 3/4 of the women already had iclickers for class. So we are going to try to buy a few more and borrow a base to use those this year
