Frustrated with WM Rotation Calendar

[dbelden1]

I just need to vent and I know that there are at least a few others who are having issues with the new Rotation feature in WM, but this is getting to be ridiculous! Last weekend I had added Cathe's November rotation and made a few modifications to swap out DVD's I do have for ones on the Rotation I didn't have. Certain days worked great, others would not let me delete specific workouts, while others would delete and confirm only to show up back on my calendar. Sometimes there were even double workouts, workouts I didn't enter or delete, and now after trying to play with the feature and create a December weeks worth of my own rotation, my November calendar is completely screwed up! Nothing is what I had modified it to be, my completed workouts are no longer marked as complete, and now every day has a duplicate workout. when you edit it only shows one workout but my calendar shows 2.

I am beginning to think that I should just delete the whole bloody thing and wait for a few more updates from SNM (who have only been able to explain or fix a few of these issues). Don't get me wrong, SNM has been helpful to some extent, but I have noticed that they tend to write off issues as User Error rather than glitches of their system. It's not rocket science and I do not consider myself a computer illiterate person, but this is driving me BATTY!!!

Ok, rant over... anyone else besides NancyAZ and a few others having WM Rotation issues? or are any of you using it with success?

I've had success, but I've only created and downloaded my own rotations. I might try playing with Cathe's rotation and see if I have the same problems.

I have noticed that my rotations do not get recorded in Stats or Cathe DVDs. Not a big deal, but I think eventually linking it all would make sense. I think the Cathe crew is working on that.

I'm sure in time all the bugs will get worked out. I play with the WM now and enjoy making rotations, but I make sure I have a back-up schedule in my Microsoft Calendar. You just never know when the WM might implode.

Edited to add:

Okay, I just made up a rotation for December, and it entered into my calendar without any problems. One question: When you created your December rotation, did you make sure you changed the date before dragging and dropping your workouts? I noticed it's pretty easy to think you've changed the date when you really haven't (meaning you change the date clicking on the little calendar, but you don't click the "Change Date" button afterwards). That might be why your November rotation is goofed up.

I downloaded Cathe's November rotation into the month of January, and swapped one workout for another without issue as well.

With all the goofing around I did, it'll be interesting to see if my calendar still looks the same tomorrow.

You know my issues and I'm still not convinced that I did anything "wrong" in creating my little rotation. But I've given up getting an answer, as it's really no longer important to me (not worth the effort) and intend to wait it out to see how things develop when new versions of the software are uploaded. I haven't seen that many complaints, so it's hard to know where the true problems lie.

When everything is totally operational after being doled out piecemeal, I think it's all going to be very useful.

Thanks Lori & Nancy! I am not sure if it is even possible, but maybe individual computer settings, programs, firewalls, security, etc, may have something to do with it since some people seem to have no issues, while others have nothing but issues... It seems very weird that the calendar looks completely different between one day to the other! I should have done a print screen to email to SNM so they knew I wasn't crazy or seeing things!

I did notice today that my November calendar has gone back to the way it was, with my originally edited November rotation (still have two dates that are wonky but...), workouts marked complete, etc... and the 1 week in December is back in there again too... I did update my Contact Us ticket so not sure if they did anything behind the scenes, but no one replied if they did...


I hope that this feature will be de-bugged when STS comes out and the WM rotation calendar will work flawlessly!
