What this tutorial is for

This tutorial introduces the essential settings required for the software to run properly.

Some data may already have been set up by the support team when the software was prepared for your association.

Where to start the settings

Most settings can be managed from the Settings menu in the admin portal.

What the settings include

Seasons

The season is the root entity in the system. It groups related data, including competitions, user roles, clubs, venues, and associated information. You can have unlimited seasons in the system. A default season is selected when the system starts, but you should always make sure you are working in the correct season. Unless specified otherwise, all settings and data you see in the admin portal relate to the selected season.

When you create a new season, you can transfer data from a previous season to streamline setup. This will save you a lot of time. However, this rollover option is only available during initial season creation and cannot be accessed afterward.

Age groups

The age group is used to group related data, including teams, leagues, fixtures, and associated information.

Divisions

The division is a sub-entity of the age group.

Offence types

Offence types define offences according to the laws of the game.

Draw templates

Draw templates define the templates used to generate draws.

Draw calendars

Draw calendars define the calendars used for draws.

Table formulas

Table formulas define how tables are calculated.

App cards

App cards define the cards shown in the app. You can add your own cards to the app.

Configuration

These are the global parameters used by the software.
