Use this icon:

Sized to 16 pixels.

Progress:

• Check the option to indicate the exchange is confirmed. This is the default setting.
• The icon is enabled when the exchange is confirmed.
• Hover over button to see status message.
• Clicking button shows same status message in popup window.
• Uncheck to disable the button and indicate as not confirmed.
• Save to MWB saves the confirmed status.
• Read from MWB reads the confirmed status and defaults to confirmed for older files.
• Swapping talks also swaps the confirmed status.

@ajtruckle Simple and clear. It makes sense to have this feature. The visuals can be improved over time, if needed.

@cengizu Thanks for the feedback. 😊 There are still some scenarios that I have to revise in the coming days to complete this feature.

Progress:

• Add PublicTalkConfirmed node to history database.

Progress:

• Include away talk confirmed status in history database.
• Handle away talk confirmed status when swapping talks.
• Handle away talk confirmed status when reading / writing to MWB.

Things became a bit more complicated when it came to serialization of away talk data. But I think I have overcome the hurdles that I encountered.

There are several things that I would still like to address:

1. Default the away talk confirmed status to true for new away talks.
2. Consider adding an away talk confirmed status column to the away talk grid. My only concern is that it is getting cramped.
3. Update the Import feature (from PTS) to include the inverse of the Tentative field during importing.
4. Update some of the Congregation reports to show unconfirmed exchanges in a red font.

Progress:

• Default the away talk confirmed status to true for new away talks.
• Update the Import feature (from PTS) to include the inverse of the Tentative field during importing.

We could possibly add a new setting to the software to let the user specify what the default "Confirmed" setting should be.

4. Update some of the Congregation reports to show unconfirmed exchanges in a red font.

The Public Talks Summary report has a setting for the tentative colour:

We could add that setting the to Meeting Schedule Assistant version of the Summary report:

Progress:

• Revised the Talk DB--Public Talks Report (Summary mode) to display unconfirmed talk exchanges with blue text.
