Basics
They way teams and people is set up initially looks complicated, but it is not really!
The key points to note are:
- Roles sit on teams/committees, not people
- Committees/Teams can have sub teams
- Sub teams are made up of roles
- Vacancies are treated differently, see instructions further down
- The County Team is slightly different to cater for the fact it is made up of team and individuals, and we wanted to display it differently
- President and Vice preisdent have their own option for updating
- District DoE Advisors are dealt with as a role only
