User Manual – Club Details

In the club section of BowlsLink you will be able to find all information related to your club.

Keeping this information up to date and current will help your Club be identified via the Find-A-Club search functions on the BA and STA websites.

When a member users the search, the Description, Categories and key information of Address, Email, Website and Mobile will show – having this kept current will ensure those interested can easily find your Club and through the doors.

The club section is further divided into Details, Categories, and Reports.

Club Categories #

A club can have various categories assigned. Categories are used to show the various services and amenities that the club has, and this information is published in websites and other information systems about the club. The categories are selected from a pre-defined list, and the Club Administrator selects any and all that may apply to their club. Examples are: Social Bowls, Meals, Entertainment, Function Room Bookings etc.

1.                    To add a category, click on the assign category button in the top right of screen.

2.                    Select from the drop down list the appropriate category for your club, and click the assign button.

3.                    Once a category has been added, it can be removed by clicking the icon at the right end of the category listing.

4.                    This process can be repeated as many times as you like, to add all the required categories to the club.

Reports #

Available in this section are reports that will give clubs information on their position holders (Club Positions, including previous appointments) and administrators (Administrators).

NOTE – The Administrators report will show members who have access to the club, but not their specific role – this role shown is ‘Club Administrator’.

Other roles and accesses available via BowlsLink can be found via our BowlsLink Roles, Permissions and Security
