Trail Log (Trailblazer and OT Team Leader to complete)

The use of a Trail Log is optional. It is the Trailer's own personal and private Free Space Page to note the profiles they work on and any top tips they learn. The Trail Log should only be seen by the Trailer, Trailblazer, and the Orphan Trail Team Leaders. Although it is private, the Trailer should not record any personal or sensitive information on it. Follow these steps if you wish to use one with your Trailer. A) Check if a Trail Log already exists Trailblazer: Check if a Trail Log already exists by searching the Trail Log List. If it doesn't, go to List B). If it does, request trusted list access to the Trail Log using the Click here to request to join the Trusted List button on the Privacy tab. You can use this message: "Please add me to the Trusted List of this Trail Log so I can use it with my Trailer."

OT Team Leader: Once access to the Trailblazer has been given, advise them via the Activity section that it's been done. Trailblazer: Bring the Trail Log up to date if needed. Add the Trailer to the Trusted List via the Privacy tab if required. Provide the link to the Trailer and include this message "Here is the link to your Trail Log. It is your own personal and private Free Space Page to note the profiles you will work on and any top tips you learn. The Trail Log can only be seen by you, me and the Orphan Trail Team Leaders. Although it is private, please do not record any personal or sensitive information on it." You will also need to continue to remind them to update it with each new Profile as they work through the Trail. B) If a Trail Log does not exist Trailblazer: If a Trail Log doesn't already exist go to the Trail Log template and request trusted list access to template using the Click here to request to join the Trusted List button on the Privacy tab. You can use this message: "Please add me to the Trusted List of the template so I can create a Trail Log to work on with my Trailer." Note This only needs to be done once; the first time you want to create a Trail Log. As you will have access to the template ongoing, you don't need to ask for access each time, you can just create them as and when you wish. OT Team Leader: Once access to the Trailblazer has been given, advise them via the Activity section that it's been done. Trailblazer: Once access has been provided, create a Trail Log (using the format ‘Trail_Landman-257’) from the Trail Log template for their Trailer; Add the Trail Log's WikiTree ID (format will be 'Space:Trail_Landman-257') to the OT image so it appears in the Trail Log list, add OT1 Team Leaders (Who is who?) as backup, Trailblazer and the Trailer as Profile Managers. Add the URL link for the Trail log to the Description section of the card. Trailblazer: Update the Trail Log with TB name, start date and Wiki link to the first profile. Provide the link to the Trailer and include this message "Here is the link to your Trail Log. It is your own personal and private Free Space Page to note the profiles you will work on and any top tips you learn. The Trail Log can only be seen by you, me and the Orphan Trail Team Leaders. Although it is private, please do not record any personal or sensitive information on it." You will also need to continue to remind them to update it with each new Profile as they work through the Trail. Trailblazer: If you wish to continue using a Trail Log with an OT2 Trailer, you can use this message: "We will continue to use the Trail Log you kept during OT1. Here is the link: [enter link to Trail Log here]. Just as before, this is your own personal and private Free Space Page to note the profiles you will work on and any top tips you learn. The Trail Log can only be seen by you, me and the Orphan Trail Team Leaders. Although it is private, please do not record any personal or sensitive information on it." We do not recommend starting the use of the Trial Log for the first time with an OT2 Trailer.
