Understanding CEUs & Traffic Lights

TRAFFIC LIGHTS FAQs:

1. All members need to establish a New User account on R2Y's site. You MUST use the email address in your BNIC profile. New User link: https://www.reporting2you.com/login/register-member/

2. Avoid relying on R2Y emails to arrive every week! R2Y is in Portugal. Because of this, company servers often block their emails. If you or your chapter did not receive the emailed reports, LOG IN to R2Y's site to view/download what you need.

3. Experiencing log-in Issues? Contact them at info@reporting2you.com. If you email Mitzi about login issues, she's going to tell you the same thing - contact them 😁.

4. If the report data appears incorrect, it's directly related to the chapter PALMS report: both the data IN the report AND the date the report was submitted within BNIC. Please discuss with your chapter VP or Area Director.

5. Traffic lights are derived from PALMS reports. PALMS reports span from the MINUTE A MEETING STARTS through the MINUTE BEFORE NEXT WEEK'S meeting begins. (e.g., if your meeting is 8am Tuesdays, your PALMS will include everything between 8:00AM this Tuesday and 7:59AM next Tuesday)

   • This timeframe encompasses all members who were on the roster (even if they were only a member for 1 day that week)

   • It also covers all activities entered (121s, Referrals, etc.)

   • If you think your traffic lights are incorrect, they're simply reflecting what's in the PALMS report. Discuss with your VP or Chapter Director.

6. If visitors are missing from traffic reports - check to make sure your Visitor Hosts are confirming all visitors immediately after the meeting each week. See if there are registrations waiting to be confirmed. (in BNIC: Operations > Manage Visitors > Visitor Registration and Attendance Portal.)

7. If, for any reason, a member drops and then rejoins, their traffic lights/activities reset to zero. They start over. This most often occurs when a member resigns one company and joins another. If Company #1 paid for the initial membership, we must drop the member and start a new profile, reflecting payment from Company #2. (Also: No, there is no "fixing" this. We cannot add your activity back. It's how the database was designed.)

8. If a VP has submitted requests for me to remove members, that task is performed in batches - we will get to it as soon as we can. Until we do, the member(s) will continue to show up in the PALMS report. This is simply because we have not dropped them yet. In the interim, list them as Absent or Sub.

9. There is no "rollover" of any activities. If your goal is four 1-2-1s in a week and you perform 5, one of them doesn't rollover to next week. Data shows on PALMS reports according to WHEN the member entered it into BNIC.

10. Yes, the Traffic Light reports show "monthly" numbers, but the colors are tabulated from 6 months' worth of meetings & data.

11. If a member goes out on a temporary Medical Leave, their traffic lights continue calculating! Traffic lights ARE impacted by medical leave.

12. Traffic Lights are calculated via points. Here is a link to a Google spreadsheet I created to help teach the region. (Use the first 2 tabs to help understand how traffic lights are calculated.)

    • If your AVERAGE number of 1-2-1s per week is:

      • 1.00 or more - the system gives you 20 points. 

      • 0.75 - 0.99 - the system gives you 15 points. 

      • 0.50 - 0.74 - the system gives you 10 points. 

      • 0.25 - 0.49 - the system gives you 5 points. Less than 0.25 - the system gives you 0 points. 

    • If your AVERAGE attendance is:

      • 95% - the system awards 20 points

      • 85% - the system awards 15 points

      • 75% - the system awards 10 points

      • 65% - the system awards 5 points

      • Less than 65% - the system awards 0 points.

13. Lates & Subs:

    • % earned if you're late: 75%

    • % earned if you have a sub: 50%

Your chapter directors often know a good bit about R2Y. Please contact them with questions. Also, you can direct your fellow members to this post whenever they have traffic light questions.
