Changing the basic table data

Introduction

Administrators can administer their associations/area/club settings. Managers can not do that. These settings are the most basic information but it’s so crucial that they are done. Here in this guide we will show you what you need to do.

If you are configuring for the first time the basic information of your club or need to verify the information for any reason the most important tasks are:

  • Settings > Preferences. Rondel, logo, contact data, language
  • Settings > Public Profile. AGM dates

Images, Contact info, social media

To get to this section navigate to Settings > Preferences.  These settings here are mostly used for the directory page of the entity you are doing the changes for but can also impact overall functions of your entity.

Images & Rondel

Here you can change your rondel and/or logo. It’s pretty straight forward but we need you to upload to the first input that is named Rondel your association Rondel or in case you are a area/club your logo. It’s displayed on the main site of the regular user in the sidebar menu. If nothing is set here it will display a question mark image.

Second input is a larger logo. This will be displayed in the individual directory of the association/area/club. We recommend uploading a image that has a transparent background.

Third input is used as your login page background. If nothing is set it will display a default image.

Contact data

Add your contact data so that tablers can contact your entity. A short description goes a long way to tell the users what you are and what you do.

It’s up to you what you put here. In general it’s more broader then perhaps the information of one user but it’s really up to you. Just keep this information up-to-date so that the users can contact you.

Social media

If your entity has any of the social platforms mentioned here enter the direct URL to it. On the directory page it will be showed and is clickable. Great way to let people know what social/communication platforms you are using.

Settings

Here we have little more complex settings that affects more then just your profile and appearance. Overall you can set what default language new contacts will get. Of course they can change it themselves on their settings page.

On association level the individual registration toggle is located here.

If you are changing the settings for your club then you have an additional option, regarding statutory meetings. You can choose to send a copy of all statutory meetings to any function that is either part of your area or association. This can be useful to give your area or association board a chance to see what each club is up to.

Public Profile

Your public profile is part of your directory. Based on what entity you are changing you will have different options. Areas have no public profile options, only associations and clubs.

For associations you set your charter year and international godparents, also your AGM dates. Important is to update your AGM dates every year here.

For clubs you have more options.

  • Your club number
  • Foundation date
  • Charter date
  • Dissolution date if the club has been disbanded
  • International and national godparents
  • Statutory meeting dates
  • Location information on fixed meeting places

Like before it’s up to your association to decide and define what information to write here. Most important is your club number and charter date so we say it’s more or less mandatory but the more you put in the more history you keep.
