Words this app uses

A few of these are Toastmasters’ words and a few are this app’s own. Here is what each one means, in plain ones.

Allocate

Allocating means saying which Level of a Path something counts toward — or, on a DTM, which Requirement. It never changes what you recorded; it only says where it counts. You can leave something unallocated as long as you like.

Requirement

One of the things a Level asks for — a Project, a Role, an Educational. A DTM asks for six of its own, which are the six things a Distinguished Toastmaster award is made of.

Met

Met means your record has everything the Level asks for. It is this app counting what you have put in, and nothing more — Toastmasters has not been told anything.

Completed

Completed means you have recorded that the Level is finished in Base Camp. It is you saying so, never the app deciding: this app does not talk to Base Camp, so Met and Completed are two different facts and a Level can be one without the other.

Level Completion and Path Completion

Your record that you finished the Level, and your record that you finished the Path. Both are things you recorded here after finishing them in Base Camp.

Log Entry

Something you have logged — a speech, a role or an Educational. It is the thing you did; where it counts is a separate question, and that is what allocating answers.

Pursuit

A Pursuit is your progress toward one DTM. You can have more than one, because Toastmasters grants the award more than once.

Term

A term is a stretch of leadership or service — an office you held, a club you coached. It has a start and usually an end, where a speech has a single date.

Visit

A Visit is your record that you were at a Club on a date, including clubs that are not your own. Nobody else made it and nobody else sees it.
