CourtReserve Webinars

(00:00) well hello everybody it’s Ashley and Chloe we are so excited to be with you today we’re going to talk all about events programming clinics classes open plays whatever you call it at your facility we’re going to give you some great tips and tricks and Chloe is a master of uh event she helped so many people on our customer success team so thanks Chloe for joining us today you’re still on mute and uh hey we’re going to record this webinar give us a couple of hours uh and Josh will actually put it up into uh the Youtube channel if you’re
(00:37) not subscribed to the court Reserve YouTube channel it’s a must that way when we do webinars when we do new things then we know that you guys can get updated and and be alerted to when we’re doing things uh so without further Ado Chloe let’s get started thanks Ashley for the introduction and thank you everyone for joining us today just going to pull up my screen and we will jump right into it all right so first things first we should Define what is an event right so an event is going to be something that you want people to sign
(01:10) up for so this can be really flexible you can set up a bunch of different things as an events but the characterizing thing of an event is that it’s something that people sign up for so if you want to block off your courts for a certain amount of time each day and have people sign up to be on them that would go into the system as an event so things that usually are set up as events are going to be Round Rob if you do any open plays maybe you have a summer camp maybe you even do a special event um once a month or every
(01:37) year or something like that it’s really flexible for what you can set up as events but main thing to keep in mind is it’s something that people can register for and then you’ll have a roster of people who have signed up for that event so the first thing to cover with events is just going to be your event settings row this teal row of settings about halfway down the page so I’m just going to start off here with your event categories this is just where you specify what kind of events you offer at your facility so do you have Ron Robbins
(02:06) do you have mixers do you have open plays maybe you even have open plays that are split up based off of different rating you could add those all into the system as different event categories this can be things like a clinic or a larger group lesson super flexible for whatever you want to add in here it’s just a way for you to kind of categorize your events in a way that makes sense to you on the admin side but also for your members as they’re signing up for those so all you need to do to add in your event categories is just go to create
(02:33) event category here and then you’re going to name that so that could be you know round robin that could be open Play morning open Play afternoon open Play evening open Play anything like that and then you can also choose the colors the colors here are actually super helpful because some of your members might get really used to signing up for your open plays maybe they love your open plays and they know that your open plays are green so then when they’re on the member side looking at the calendar they’re just going to go right to those green
(02:58) events so color coding your event categories is also a really helpful trick if your category if your event categories are going to go into certain Revenue categories if you process payments in the court Reserve System you can choose the revenue categories here and you can also specify if there’s going to be taxes for your event categories so next under the event settings row I’m actually going to skip over defaults and we’ll revisit that at the end um we’re going to skip over here to disclosures disclosures are a way for
(03:27) you to display some text or information to your members as they’re signing up for the event so maybe you want to remind them to get their 15 minutes early or maybe you want to remind them to bring all of the gear that they’re going to need if you want to display a chunk of text to your members and then have a check box that they check on to say that they’ve read it that could go into the system as a disclosure you can enter in that information here under the disclosures page and when you’re going in and actually creating an event I’ll
(03:53) show you where where you can actually attach that disclosure to your event all all right and then the next thing underneath our event settings row are waivers and agreements this is only going to show up if you do use that waivers and agreements add-on so if you don’t see this in your organization it’s just because you don’t have that add-on turned on but waivers and agreements this is a way for you to actually attach a waiver so something that people have to sign onto your event so similar to a disclosure but the waivers is something
(04:22) that people will actually sign when you’re creating a waiver or agreement for your events you do not want to set up a signing rule for those becausebecause if there’s a signing rule then you’re not going to be able to attach it to your event so if you have for example maybe you have a summer camp with kids and you need the parents assign a waiver for their kids to be in that camp you would add that in under waivers and agreements but don’t add a signing rule to that and again I’ll show you where you can actually add those into your
(04:45) events once we get to the event setup all right and then next under event settings is going to be your custom Fields custom fields are a way for you to add some additional information that you want your members to provide when they’re signing up for the event so for example maybe you have an event where you’re going to give people a t-shirt if they participate a custom field that you might add on for the event would be please provide your T-shirt size or something like that you would create the custom field here and then at the event
(05:14) setup level you can choose whichever custom Fields you want to attach to your certain events next we have event sessions this is just a way for you to kind of further categorize your events for reporting purposes so maybe you want to run reports on all of your events um and see which events fell into certain times of the year or maybe you want to see you know which events have the most participation based on time of the year then your event sessions might be the seasons you could also have different sessions for things like your open plays
(05:48) maybe you have different sessions based on rating or summer camps maybe you have different sessions based on age it’s uh event sessions are optional but they are just a way way for you to kind of further categorize your events if you’re interested in doing so and then lastly we have event tags tags are basically a way for you to Market your events these tags are going to show up on the member side whenever someone is looking to register for an event they’ll see um this little tag show up under the event name so it’s
(06:17) just a way for you to kind of mention some key wordss relating to the events just to kind of grab people’s attention and get them interested in those events so examples of what you might have in here as event Test maybe you have certain events that are geared towards beginners or intermediate players or Advanced players maybe you have a summer camp and you want to advertise that that’s for kids those are just some examples of what you might use as event tags all right so next is going to be how to actually go into the system and
(06:45) create an event so this is going to be underneath events on the left sidebar and then create event here first things first is going to be to name your event so this is just what the event is for and you’re going to want to make this pretty specific so that members know what it is that they’re signing up for so maybe for example you have a summer camp and it’s just going to be for a ages 8 to 10 then you would call this you know summer camp Session One ages 8 to 10 something like that just something so that your members
(07:15) understand what it is that they’re signing up for um in the event name next is the event category this is where you say which category that event falls into tags this is where you would attach those tags that we just talked about if you want to further advertise the event and have any of those tags show up and same thing with session if this event falls into a specific session that youve specified you can choose whichever one that is here underneath maximum registrant if you have events that are going to be capped at a certain number of people so
(07:46) maybe you only have space for eight people in an event then you can specify that here and once the event reaches eight registrants no one else is going to be able to sign up if you specify a maximum number of registrants this is going to give you the ability to allow a wait list if you wanted to so if the event is full and you allow a wait list now people can start signing up for the wait list and if a spot were to open up in the event so if someone if one of the registrants in the events cancelled out then everyone who has registered onto
(08:16) the wait list they would get an email letting them know that a spot has opened up that email will include a link where they can just go right to that event and claim their spot it’s going to be first come first serve if you just choose allow wait list now if you chose this option Auto register from weit list this means that if a spot opens up in the event whoever was registered onto the weit list first is automatically going to be bumped into the event and the spot is going to be theirs so turning on auto register from weight list this takes
(08:44) into account the order of the weit list versus having this off it’s going to be first come first serve whoever on the wait list gets there first gets the spot with auto register from weight list turned on we have a couple additional settings here so prevent Auto autoregistration X hours before event this is where you say how far before the event you want people to no longer be Auto registered so a best practice piece of advice here would be to set this to something like 12 or 24 hours so that people are not being automatically
(09:12) bumped into the event really close to the event start time because maybe people didn’t knew that they were still on the wait list so they didn’t plan on actually being at the event so if they’re getting bumped in last minute maybe they’re not going to be there right so usually we would see this set to something like 12 hours 24 hours maybe even more than that just to give people enough time to plan and know hey now I’m in this event I can kind of move my schedule around and be there this choice autocharge if payment
(09:37) profile exists this will charge the player as they get bumped into the event as long as they have a payment profile on their account and then allow family members to be individually registered if you don’t turn this on and a spot opens up in the event and two members of the same family are on the wait list it’s actually going to skip over the first person in the family who’s on the wait list because there’s not room for both of them so if you want both family members to be able to be Auto registered into the event then you want to leave
(10:07) this setting unchecked if you don’t care about that and it doesn’t bother you if one family member is going to get in off the wait list and one family member is not then you can turn this setting on so just to go back up here a little bit um override hours of operation if your event is set to happen during a time when your organization normally isn’t open so maybe you have an open play that um happens really early in the morning or really late at night you can override your hours of operation so that you can choose the start and end time um
(10:36) in these categories here obviously event date start and end time that is when the event is happening underneath recurrence this is a really helpful setting if you have a situation where you have an event that has multiple event dates instead of having to create an individual event for every time the event is going to happen we can just set up the event to reoccur and you can set this to reoccur daily weekly monthly or at a custom frequency and when you set that recurrence you can say Okay I want this to happen every
(11:06) week on these specific days of the week and then you’ll tell the system how many times you want that to happen so end event after X number of dates or if there’s a specific calendar date that you want the recurrence to stop by you could specify that here but this is really just going to create the event on each of those dates that you’ve set this up to reoccur going to make your life a lot easier on the admin side of your as you’re setting this up so that you don’t have to create individual events on every single time that the event is
(11:33) supposed to happen exception dates for example if you have a recurring event and one of the event recurrences is set to happen on a holiday and your organization is closed on that day you can choose that day underneath the exception dates and the event will just skip right over that day it won’t happen on that date so next we have allow registrants to register for single dat dates this is if your event has more than one date do you want people to be able to go in and pick and choose whichever event dates they want to sign up for this setting
(12:04) allow registrants to register for All Dates if you turn that on it’s going to give them the option to register for the entire event at one time so maybe you have an event that has 10 different dates if you turn this option on your members are going to be able to choose register for full event and that will automatically sign them up for all 10 dates so that they don’t have to go in and and registered 10 times into the event allow weight list to be already covered event instructors if you’re going to have one of your instructors or
(12:33) Pros or coaches be teaching a specific event you can add them to the event here and then that’s actually going to block off the instructor scheduler and it’s the system is going to know that they’re already booked on this event so they won’t be able to be added to any lessons during that time and if you want to show the name of the instructor who’s assigned to the event we would just turn this on display instructors on the member portal coordinators if you use event coordinators at your facility coordinator coordinators are just a
(13:02) version of sub admin who are going to have specific permissions into certain events then you can add them in here and then they’ll have their set of permissions um for this specific event where they are the coordinator Court types and courts the system is actually going to let you create out an event without filling out this information but if you know which court your event is going to be happening on it’s really important thatyou choose them here and that you assign them to this event because if you don’t
(13:26) then the system isn’t going to know to block off any of your courts and someone might make a reservation or they might schedule a lesson on the court during the time when the event is supposed to happen if you assign the courts when you’re creating the event then the system will know to block off those courts so that nobody else can book them during that time same thing with the ball machine if you have a ball machine or resource that you want to schedule with the event you could add it here prevent member from withdrawing
(13:54) from event within this amount of time this is just going to say how far before the event starts are people allowed to withdraw or cancel out of the event um best practice that I might see here would be at least more than an hour um just because from an instructor standpoint you kind of don’t want people withdrawing last minute um especially if you know the instructor is going to be planning out drills or something like that based on a certain number of people you just don’t want kind of last minute changes to the event so I would see at
(14:24) least an hour here at the end of the day it is up to you and your organization that’s just something that I see a lot if you have a specific note that you want to communicate on the admin side you can add that in here and then this is where we would add in those custom fields that we talked about towards the beginning of the presentation if you have any custom fields that you want to attach to the event so say this is the event where you’re giving out a T-shirt and you want people to specify their T-shirt size then you would choose that
(14:50) event registr custom field here and then when members are signing up for the event they would be prompted to fill out that information before they’re able to register down here at the bottom we have the event setup tab as you can see this is all split up based off of the membership types that you have in your system so if you have events that are going to be only available to certain membership types or maybe you charge certain membership types more to register for an event than you do your others then that’s all possible because
(15:20) all of these settings are split up based off of membership type so first we have drop in price drop in price is going to be the price for one single event date so if you have a recurring event drop in price is what is the price for just one of those event dates and then full event price is if someone is registering for all of the dates at once if they’re using that full event registration option this would be the price for the entire event another best practice recommendation here a lot of organizations might provide a little
(15:47) bit of a discount if people are registering for the full event just to kind of promote the event and get more people to sign up for all of the dates so something that we sometimes see organizations doing is providing a little bit of a discount um a discounted price versus the sum of just all of the dropin prices is public means that your members are going to be able to see that event from the member side allow online registrations means they’re actually going to be able to sign up for that on the member side so sometimes what
(16:18) organizations will do is they will make the events public but if they’re not ready for people to sign up for the event yet then they might not turn on allow online registrations until closer to the event hide pricing if you don’t want to show the price of your event for whatever reason on the member portal you can turn on hide pricing and members will not see how much that event is going to be if you process payments on the court Reserve side then you’re going to have these two options for require upfront payment if you turn this on that’s going
(16:48) to give members a 15minute window of time where they have to sign up for the event and then enter in their payment information if they don’t pay for the event within that 15minute window of time their registration is going to be cancelled so this just requires that people essentially are paying for the event as they’re signing up for it require payment profile means that they have to have a credit card saved onto their account in order for them to even sign up for the event requires approval if someone signs
(17:15) up for an event that requires approval you’ll see a little red dot next to the to-do tab here and you’ll be able to click on this and see all of event registrations that have requested approval and you can go in on the admin side and either approve or decline those people so an example of when you might use requires approval is maybe you have an event where they had to have participated in something else before they’re able to participate in that event so maybe they needed to have taken a beginner’s Clinic before they’re able
(17:44) to sign up for this event that you’re creating that might be an example of asituation where you would require approval you can check their account make sure that they’ve already participated in that thing and decide if they are going to be eligible to participate in this event or not drop in registration starts maybe you’re being really proactive and you’re creating your events way far into the future but you don’t want people to sign up for them just yet you can open up registration for the events based on the
(18:08) event start time so maybe you want to open up registration one month before the event starts um or you can choose a specific calendar date when you want all of those events to open up for registration and then same thing drop in registration and full registration this is just drop in registration when people can start signing up for single event dates full registration is the same thing just when can people start signing up for the entire event and then we have registration ends before event so maybe you want to lock
(18:36) down the roster of people who have signed up for an event a certain amount of time before it starts again just to give your instructors time to plan ahead um registration ends before event this is where you would enter in how far in advance do you want people to be able to sign up and then what’s the window of time before the event starts that people can no longer sign up that’s the number that you would fill out here and then lastly we have show registrants this option is going to show the names of people who have already
(19:02) signed up for the event on the member portal as other members are looking at the event so a lot of times organizations will turn on show registrants for something like an open play so maybe people want to see who else has signed up so they can determine okay my buddies are already signed up I’m going to sign up as well last thing I want to point out on on this specific screen is going to be this option all the way down at the bottom for public embed codes and widgets this is what your members are going to see if you are sending them a
(19:30) link to this specific event or if you’re using any of our widgets our event list widget event calendar widget um this is what determines what members who are viewing the event from those places are going to see so if a member is looking at one of your event widgets this is determining is that event public from the event widget are people allowed to sign up for it what’s the price that they see from there um and so on and so forth so this this setting can be a little confusing to people it’s only relevant if you’re going to be using
(19:58) event Widgets or if you’re going to be sending anyone an ed code of an event that’s already created so next under the description tab this is pretty straightforward this is just where you would explain some of the details of an event you might say um what’s planned at that specific event just some more information for your members so they have a better understanding of what it is that they’re signing up for underneath registration restrictions this is where we can set up if you want an event to have certain criteria in
(20:27) order for people to sign up for it so for example maybe you want to have a ladies only open Play you could set this up to be gender restricted for females only and then um anyone who’s trying to sign up who does not match this restriction they wouldn’t be able to sign up for the event and the same thing goes for any of these other restrictions you can restrict based off of age rating and member groups so maybe you have a summer camp again like I uh mentioned at the beginning of all of these settings maybe you’re setting up a summer camp
(20:56) that’s only for children ages 8 to 10 you could set a minimum age restriction of eight and a max age of 10 and anyone who falls outside of that age range would not be able to sign up this option up here Hide event if member does not match restrictions if you turn that on then any events that people don’t match the restrictions for they’re not even going to be able to see them so this kind of helps avoid confusion maybe if you don’t have this on someone might be clicking on an event and being confused why they can’t sign up and it’s just cuz
(21:24) they don’t meet their restrictions if you want to avoid that confusion and just not even show the events that people aren’t eligible for then you can turn the setting on so underneath the waivers tab this goes back to what we covered at the beginning if you set up an event waiver um underneath the event settings row then you’re going to be able to choose that waiver here and assign a specific waiver to your certain event this is really popular again for something like a summer camp um where the parents have to sign the waiver for their kids to
(21:51) able to participate in this underneath guest setup if you turn on allow guests here that’s going to bring up these other settings where you can say how many guests are allowed for each event date as well as which membership types you want to be able tobring a guest to this event and all this means is just um that a player who is signing up and registering themselves for the event they’re going to be able to bring a guest if they want to and a guest refers to someone who does not have any membership in your organization
(22:19) they’re a true guest they’re not in your organization at all um turning on these settings would allow a member to sign up and also bring a guest along with their registration as well and then you can also specify the pricing for the guests as well as how many guests a specific membership type is able to bring and then lastly underneath the additional setup tab we have a couple different options here just going to point out the biggest ones um disclosure this is where if you set up a disclosure under the event settings you could
(22:47) attach it into the event here Revenue category again if there’s a specific Revenue category um that you want this event to go into you could specify that here Hide event on event list and calendars if for whatever reason you’ve gotten this all set up but you just don’t want it to show up yet on the information on the member side you could turn this on and then one of the biggest most important settings or I guess I should say one that I get the most questions on in support is what system users receive notifications for this
(23:14) event this is defaulted to all system users which means that anyone who’s in your system as an admin or sub admin is going to be notified anytime anyone signs up for the event that’s potentially a lot of emails so what I suggest here is switching this from all system users to just assigned instructors only and that’s just going to notify the instructor on the event when someone has registered so if you are an admin and you’re seeing this and you’re like I always get 100 million emails um that someone has signed up for
(23:45) an event it’s probably coming from this setting double check check your events and just make sure that this is a set set to assign instructors only or maybe just admins only or specific system users there’s a couple different choices here but I would highly suggest switching it off from all system users because that’s just going to be a lot of emails for everyone um who is a system user in your organization so that’s all our information on how to actually go in and create an event next I just want to show you um what it’s going to look like once
(24:14) you have an event in the system so there’s a couple different ways that we can view the events that you’ve already set up underneath events on the left here we can go into your event list this obviously is just going to be a list view of all of the events that you have set up in your event in your system and if you click on the event name it’s going to open up and bring you to the information for that specific event so just want to go over a few things on this page so general info this is where you’re going to see all of the settings
(24:44) that we just covered when you’re setting up the event so if you need to edit anything like the event start time or end time anything like that you could do that under the general info tab underneath the dates tab this is where you’re going to see all of the upcoming occurrences for the event so this one um that I’m showing as an example this has a lot of upcoming dates so underneath the dates tab if you just press the little plus sign here it’s going to show you the information about who’s registered for that specific event date
(25:13) as well as who might be on the wait list who’s canceled out um if you were require approval for the event this will show you if there’s anyone still pending approval and then if you charge for the event you’re going to be able to see a list of the transaction so you’ll be able to see who’s paid and who’s unpaid another thing to point out here is this is where you can register players so if for whatever reason you have to sign up a member from the admin side we would do that underneath register players here and when I click
(25:42) on that button it’s going to show me all of the upcoming dates of the event and I can pick and choose whichever ones I want to register that player into up here at the top it’s also going to give me a breakdown of what the pricing is so if you need to reference the pricing when you’re signing someone up it will show for you up here as well you also will have this option to override the event price for specific members so if you’re signing someone up and you’re giving them a discount for whatever reason you can override their event
(26:09) price here as you’re signing them up and then down here at the bottom this is just where we search for the name of the player that we want to sign up we’ll just search for their name here and we will see the little register button and we’ll be able to sign them up for the event so that’s how you would register players in if you ever need to do that from the admin side and then same thing if you have events that have a maximum capacity andyou’re allowing a weight list you can also add members to the wait list from
(26:34) here as well you can cancel the entire event be very careful of this button um if you want to cancel a single event date I’ll show you how to do that in just a second so this this uh button is going to cancel the whole event so be very careful with this button um and then add event date here that’s where for example maybe you have something come up and you’re able to open up the event for one more date you could add it in here this copy button at the top this is going to be super helpful for you on the admin side if you press this button it’s
(27:05) going to create a new event for you with all of the same settings that you already had set up for the event that you just copied so for example maybe you had um a special event that was really popular last month you could go into the event calendar from last month and just go in and copy that event and all you would have to do is just event uh is edit the event start and end time as well as the date that way you don’t have to worry about going in and creating all of the same setup settings that you did for the original
(27:31) event audit log this is also a really great tool for you on the admin side if you ever want to keep track of if there were any edits made to the events you could see that information you can also see the admin or the sub admin who did that and then you can also see information on when certain members signed up as well as if they did that from the admin or the member side so audit log is a really helpful tool just to kind of give you some more information about the events and then the last thing here just want to point out some of these options
(28:03) over here on the right this x button this is how you would cancel a single event date so again be really careful of this button this would cancel all of the event dates versus this um option next to a specific event date so so here I’m next to Wednesday August 21st this x button next to this date would just cancel this specific event date and then if you needed to edit a specific event date and not the entire event you can also do that using this little edit button and it will let you change things like the courts for that specific date
(28:32) um or maybe you need to change the time for whatever reason this is going to allow you to edit that specific event date that you’re looking at so the event list is one way for you to see all of your events that you have in the system I personally prefer the events calendar so this is under events on the left and then calendar this is just um a better visual view of all of your upcoming events that are coming up and again you can see this is color coded so for example maybe all of your members really like to sign up for the open plays you
(29:02) might just get really used to going into to those pink tiles or whatever color they are for you in your organization um so it’s the color coding is just a really helpful tool both on the admin side and on the member side but basically off of the events calendar you’re able to just click on one of these tiles and you can go in and edit event and you’ll see all of those same options that we just saw from the event list as well so general info dates and the transactions tab as well all right so the next thing that I
(29:31) want to cover are your event defaults so I’m going to revisit our event settings options here and go into the defaults so events defaults this is a really helpful tool to use on the ad inside if you have an event setup that’s going to be common across all of the events that you add into the system so for example anything that you turn on on this page will automatically be turned on for you whenever you’re going in and creating a new event so if you always allow your events to be public and you always want to allow people to sign up for them
(30:05) online when you turn those on here under the event defaults page they’re automatically going to be turned on for you for all of the new events that you create in the system after that point again what system users receive notifications for this event you can change this default you can change this to assign instructors only so that we avoid that issue that I mentioned before where all of your system users are getting notified every time someone signs up for an event if you change this under your event defaults option then
(30:33) you won’t have to change that every single time you create a new event so definitely utilize the event defaults page if you do have an event setup that’s going to be pretty common across all of the events that you’re adding in to your system all right and then just another thing that I want to point out here is event filters so this is going to be underneath your portal settings and your website settings and then event filters tab up here at the top event filters are just a way for you to kind of break down your events um for your members on the
(31:01) member side whenever we create an eventfilter I’ll show you this in just a second from the member portal but it’s going to give them those options to click right into your Fitness events or right into your open plays so it’s really just kind of a shortcut for your members to get in and view the specific events that they like to see so if you’re interested in creating an event filter we would just go to create event filter here you would name this whatever you want that droptown um name to be for your members on the member side so
(31:27) probably a really um common one that we would see is an event filter specifically for open plays just because people really like those maybe you create an event filter for summer camps so parents just have to go to that summer camps option and they don’t have to dig through all of your events to find the ones that they want underneath C ories that’s where you would say whichever event categories you want to show up under that event filter you can also create event filters for tags or events that are happening on certain
(31:53) days of the week even a certain date um or time of day I would say the most popular thing that people use when creating event filters is definitely categories but you do have a lot of different choices here um if you do want to make a bunch of different event filters for your members and just to give you a visual of what this will look like on the member side if I flip over here to my member portal any event filters that you create and show on the member portal are going to show up for your members underneath the events drop
(32:21) down here for some reason my website is taking just a second to load I have a picture in there so I think it just doesn’t really want to show my picture but anyway it would show up for you underneath the events dropdown whichever event filters that you create they will show up there and it will be a really quick way um for members to get in and access the event filters that they want so now it’s showing if I go into events here um I’ve created an event filter for my fitness events and for my open plays when they
(32:53) click on that it’s just going to be filtered down for them to be the events that fall into that category so that’s a really good um thing to use to just kind of simplify the member experience on the member side and then while I’m over here I’ll just give you a little bit more information going over all what your members are going to see where they’re trying to sign up for an event so your members are going to go right in under the events dropdown they are going to access your events however they want to I would say probably most members are
(33:22) going to go right into events list just because it’s first here and when I click on that it’s just going to pull up all of your events that are upcoming they will see the register button for any of the events that they are um eligible to sign up for when they click on register they’re going to be able to see if there’s upcoming dates they can pick and choose whichever dates they want to sign up for and then one other thing to point out here is if you have members who are part of a family then um the parents or
(33:48) the primaries on the account can also sign up the other members of their family as well so for example maybe you do have a summer camp your uh primaries on the account are going to be able to go in and sign up the kids the kids are not going to have to sign themselves up the parents can sign up the children um for them or anyone else in their family as well so that’s a really helpful tool all right so that is everything that I had to cover today going over events and best practices um Ashley we can go ahead and open it up for
(34:17) questions at this time yeah let’s do it okay so the first question I want to allow members to sign up for eight hours before I open to guess for them to sign up could you show that sure so we want members to be able to sign up for a period of time before guests are able to sign up so I’m assuming that we’re talking about um a guest membership type here um because otherwise there isn’t going to be a way to necessarily do that for if we’re allowing a true guest on the event but I will show you how to do that for um if you have a guest
(34:55) membership type in the system so if you wanted to do that we’re going to use the dropin registration start setting down here underneath the event setup and because this is split up based on membership type then you’re going to be able to say Okay I want this membership type to be able to register one week in advance for you if this is down to the hour you can also specify by hour as well um but you can say okay this membership is able to sign up this far in advance and then this membership type is able to sign up further in advance or
(35:26) something like that so you can set this up where people can register for the event at different times based off of the membership type that they have on their account that’s great yeah thank you the next question could we set up awithdrawal charge for instance a patreon signed up for an event paid $50 they withdraw the day before the event they would get charged a $10 fee so they would only get $40 back in credit or a refund could the charge be a percentage instead of a flat amount good question so at this time
(35:54) there isn’t a way for someone to automatically be charged if they’re withdrawing from an event if you’re going to charge them an extra fee um because they withdrew then that’s going to have to happen manually from the admin side um a lot of times what I’ll see organization’s doing is they will prevent members from withdrawing for the event a certain amount of time before it starts if you’re preventing members from withdrawing then what they have to do if they want to cancel is actually reach out to you on the admin side and then
(36:24) because you’re going to be the one on the admin side who has to cancel them out of the event whenever you’re doing that you’ll be able to go in and post that fee right onto their account I’ll just pull up my account super fast to show you what that would look like if you’re canceling them out of the event then you would just go in under their billing Tab and you could just go right here to post fee and then this is also going to give you the control over how much you want that to be so if you want it to be a certain percentage um you can
(36:52) figure that out here and post that fee right to their account but right now there isn’t a way to set that up to happen automatically it does have to happen manually from the admin side yeah and I would also say Dean that if you’ve already charged that member um and you’re going to have to refund them or give them a credit then when you go in to do the refund you can also just not give them the entire amount of the fee you can keep you know $10 of that for sure um and she’s got it pulled up here as well yep so anyone who cancels out of
(37:18) the event who had already paid you can just straight up refuse their refund so that you’re keeping their payment for the event even though they canceled or when you go into accept you can choose um how much it is that you actually want to refund them back so if they’re only going to get a partial refund you can edit that underneath the refund amount and you can also put a refund note in there as well so they know what’s going on yeah that’s great um deian also has another question if I reschedule an event do patrons enrolled in the event
(37:49) automatically get notified of the date and time change yes they should they should receive an email about that yep and don’t forget deian uh you can also go down to Notifications where you can set up those player see where Chloe’s on the screen now and you can actually go in and you can dictate emails text and push what’s going to go out of the system when it comes to rescheduling events and changing event information yep and this is the one that will go out it’s the event reschedule notice all right another question let’s
(38:19) see can you set up recurring events with multiple start times for the same event for example Saturday at 9: Sunday at 2 um yes I would not necessarily recommend doing that though because what you would have to do in order to make that work is you you would have to create the event and the recurrence um and it’s only going to give us one choice for the start and end times as we’re creating the event if um one of the recurrences or one of the certain days of the recurrence is a different time then after the event is already
(38:55) created you would actually have to go into each individual event date that’s going to be different and adjust the time there so usually what I suggest for people who want to do that is just create two separate events for the two separate times so maybe you have one that’s Saturday from whatever time you know 9: to 10: and then Sunday from 1: to 2 just because of the different um that way you don’t have to go in and edit all those individual event dates and edit the start times for those yeah and while you’re there on the
(39:25) screen I wanted to mention too um if you don’t know uh Tim and I opened up old Coast pickle ball and when we go to actually create tags we actually put emojis in our tags um just to even make them more fun and creative especially on the mobile side um you can just hit the uh Windows key I’m on a Windows device I don’t know if what’s your shortcut on a Mac Chloe I honestly don’t even know so like if you did summer camp uh we could put a little sunshine uh when you create the tag so you can’t do it there but if you go create a new tag
(39:58) Chloe like create like Fitness or something when you go to create a new tag and so if you go to create the tag and just put in Fitness and then what we do is you can you can also attach an emoji there and it shows up on the app and it is really just a a way to to make people visually see different things so if we have an advanced Clinic we put the little muscle arm up um so you can just have a lot offun with that too um if you want to see what some of those tags look like you can actually go out and um download the
(40:30) old Coast pickleball app um in the App Store iPhone or Android and you can kind of see some of our tags just try and keep it fun and for some of you that might be a really cool addition to what you’re trying to do for your players awesome all right any other questions wow it’s pretty quiet Chloe you must have knocked it out of the park [Laughter] today we’ll give you guys just another minute to answer any other questions or to ask any other [Music] questions again you know events is something that I I mean I love events
(41:07) and programming um did you show them where they can actually change the word event to programming oh that’s a great thing to point out actually that’ll be I believe I guess we’re going to find out in just a second it should be under organization settings and then I think it’s General yep Y and then down here at the bottom um alternate name for event so if you call that something different at your organization if you call that programming or clinics or something you can change that here and then anywhere that you were seeing that vents um
(41:41) wording before it would be changed to whatever you enter in there yep a lot of people I’ve seen change those so okay we got a couple more questions great let’s see is there a way to check people in at the time of the event on the app yes there is um I am gonna have trouble probably getting to the app view right now so I’ll show you the visual on the admin side but it’ll be super similar to what you are seeing on the app but basically um your instructors or whoever is going to be doing that they will pull up the event right on their
(42:10) app they’re going to go in um and when they go into the event details or to edit the event they’re going to see um the option to check them in right from there but if you’re doing this over on the admin side um if you go into the dates Tab and we just extend this um I’ll have this checkin option so it is available on the desktop version it is also available over on the app side as well it should be um I think it’s a green button but don’t quote me on that yeah I think you’re right and I and just so you guys know um I think we are
(42:44) actually as a company looking at almost some kind of like Geo uh check-in so if your members players if they get um you know within a certain amount of distance to the club it will automatically kind of check them in now don’t quote me on that I know this is being recorded but we are looking at some really cool features like that because data is powerful but if you don’t check people in then how do you know they show up so I love the check-in feature you can also collect payment on the app so your instructors
(43:19) your directors you guys can um collect that on the app we we I think we have some screenshots uh Betsy of what this looks like so if you actually reach out to live chat support and ask for screenshots just say Ashley ask me for screenshots I’ll find those and then I can send them to you if you’re interested let us know so uh another question for summer camps is it best to have parents sign up under a family membership oh that’s a good question what have you seen Chloe for summer camps like hey I want my kids to be
(43:48) signed up H how how have you seen some best practices around that yeah a lot of times I will see um a primary family member have an account in the system and then just have their children connected to them underneath the same family so they don’t necessarily need to have an actual family membership but as long as they are connected to each other underneath the family tab then the primary family member can go into the system and they’re going to be able to register anyone else who’s in the family so that’s definitely what I see a lot of
(44:22) organizations doing just because you know if they have little kids they don’t want the kids to have their own login um and it’s just easier for the parent to go in and choose those uh summer camp date that they want to sign their child up for and also with that if you do restrict the summer camps to certain age ranges um even though the parent obviously is not going to match those age ranges they are going to see it still for their child because someone in their family matches the Restriction they’re just going to make sure that
(44:52) they have to choose the the family member who does match those restrictions in order to sign them up sometimes the parent forgets to say that they’re registering their child and the parent tries to sign up and then they get the error that they’re not eligible but if you do restrict your events based on age the parents will still be able to sign up the children even though the parent doesn’t match the age restriction yeah definitely it’s um and we just came out with the ability for waivers and so um at the event level so
(45:18) you can add a summer camp waiver at the event level and so that’s also reallygood um any other questions let’s see here I’ll see I see this one in the chat Ashley about the programs is plural so when you’re changing the name of your event um anyone who’s doing that it automatically makes it plural I totally forgot to mention that so you’re going to want to make this the singular and then um the system will automatically make that plural so for you guys um you would want this to say program and then the system would automatically make that
(45:52) programs yes excellent um we have another oh wow we got some questions over there too okay so um let me see Isabella’s question here let’s see when rescheduling a class we’re able to select a different date it doesn’t allow us to change the time do we have to change that manually uh let’s see for example a beginner class today Wednesday at 1 o’clock is canceled due to rain we reschedule it and have the makeup on Thursday at 2 o’clock if we reschedule the but if we click the reschedule button on the class it allows us to
(46:26) change the date but not the time is there a way to change the time so that players can be informed of the correct date and time with the automated email that’s a good question I don’t think there’s a way to change the actual time as you’re doing the reschedule button I think you can just change the date and you would have to change the time um after the date has already been changed but I see how that could be a little confusing with that notification that sent out but yeah I don’t think there’s a way to change the time at the
(46:54) at the reschedule button level at least yeah I love that Isabella so what I’ll do is I’ll take this back to the product team and see if we can make a change to also be able to modify that time because I do think that that’s very valid um at absolutely um all right the next question do you set up a person as a guest if membership is not required to participate in an event program or Camp can you read that one for me one more time asle do you set up a person as a guest if a membership’s not required so if they’re not a member of your
(47:21) facility then I would have a guest or a non-member membership and that way you can still require them to sign your waiver to uh charge them differently because maybe your non-members guests pay you know a different fee than your members for sure for events and programs and camps so yeah I would definitely um set them up um because again think about it like this Cheryl if if I have a non-member that’s in my community that comes and participates in classes or clinics and they love it maybe we can eventually you know Market to them email
(47:57) to them use text or push right and get them to be a member in the future so I would definitely set them up as a non-member guest um even if membership’s not required um let’s see Daren how do we change the setting to disable the pay online option for our events so let’s see Chloe I I’m guessing Darren you’re talking about disable to pay online so you don’t want people to pay for your events um maybe just show where they can set pricing yeah so I would say um probably what’s most helpful here would be to hide the pricing in the first place so
(48:32) that way people aren’t even getting confused about having to pay for the event um but also if you don’t have required upfront payment turned on then they’re still going to be able to sign up for the event without having to pay for it at the time that they’re signing up so I would definitely utilize those two settings not having required upfront payment turn on and also having high pricing turn on as well yeah that’s good uh let me see here oh we got it right awesome thank you Daren uh let’s see for a series of paid clinics can you cover
(49:07) the difference and how refunds are triggered between using cancel for one day and then adding a rain date versus reschedule to add the rain date okay hold on let’s read this again for a series of paid clinics can you cover the difference in how refunds are triggered using cancel for one date but I guess then adding a rain date versus using rescheduled to add the rain date did you get that Chloe um sort of um I would say for whoever asked that one I’ll do my best right now to answer that but that might be a really good support ticket if
(49:38) you have an example of that CU it based on the wording of that question it sounds like um we would need to just like see an example of what happened there um but just to kind of give you some information that maybe will answer your question whenever you are um canceling an event date and you’re not rescheduling it if you’re canceling an event date that someone has already paid for the system is automatically going to refund them because if they already paid and you’re canceling the date it’s going to trigger a refund to be given out to
(50:11) them so um that’s going to happen I think the question here though is like what if you do cancel an event date but then you add another one in um obviously that’s going to change the pricing ofthe event so I don’t know if I’m answering this very well I would say that would be a good support ticket if you have an example um of that happening and we can take a closer look kind of and and work through that um in your specific organization where that’s happening yes that would be good um all right let’s see VJ has a question for us
(50:39) let’s see not sure if this question is off topic regarding family memberships how do we restrict members to a Max number and also ensure there are only two adults plus three kids we have found more than three adults joining BJ oh that’s terrible somebody trying to cheat the system uh well it’s kind of off topic Bo we don’t have any oh we okay so we can answer this really quick so right now if you go to memberships you can actually Chloe can kind of show us where you can set up your membership to have a max number of
(51:08) family members but then uh it’s not g to Max the adults versus kids yeah there’s not really a way to do that at this time just at the max yep so I guess um you know really watching your folks you could definitely do um age uh you know a membership restricted by age um so you might have to think of an interesting way if you do have a lot of people trying to game the system um you know maybe have that’s interesting but it’s a great it’s a great product feature BJ in the future where you could set it up to allow only so many adults um to be on a
(51:47) membership so I’ll take that to the product team for sure um so let’s see any other qu any other thoughts around that Chloe um my only other thing I’m not sure sure if this is exactly what was being asked but if you do I I don’t think it was but it’s a good thing for me to point out anyway um if you want to restrict the number of events that people can sign up for um this is something that we can turn on for you like on our side on the customer success side we can turn on event restrictions and then what you can do is underneath
(52:23) booking settings and event restrictions here you can limit them to a certain number of um registrations by time frame so you know by day or by week or by month um I don’t think that’s what the question was but that’s just some good information for us to point out this is not something that’s turned on automatically so if you want to use event restrictions and you’re not seeing that button you can submit a support ticket to us and we can turn that on for you on the back end yes uh let’s see are we any closer to the possibility of
(52:54) photos being able to be uploaded by members yes uh we are I know that the product team you know because I’m married to the guy who does all the product I know that they are working on allowing um members to upload photos um I don’t know where that is in the road map right now but I know it’s it’s it’s been talked about so I know that it’s coming D so yeah for sure um that’s a that’s a good question I know it really does help from like concierge like front desk standpoint being able to see you know Khloe’s face pop up and then you
(53:23) know teaching folks you know names and faces I mean that’s a that’s a great uh front desk uh for sure all right oh I think I think we’ve done it Chloe well thank you so much uh thank you for all the ideas as well you know we’re constantly um always learning from you from the club and facility standpoint we want to make things better and uh just excited to be able to do these webinars um don’t forget we have a couple more coming up this fall we are also uh you guys are kind of the first people to hear this we were thinking
(53:58) about having another uh Catalyst Court erve user conference here at the end of the year but I think what we’ve talked about and I think Chloe is is on the bus with me with this uh we’re thinking about actually doing four to five different dates next year around the country so maybe coming closer to where you guys are instead of maybe having you come to us now I’d love to say uh it would be exactly in your backyard but what I would love to do is partner with some facilities who would love to host a catalyst Court Reserve user conference
(54:29) at their facility we would definitely need some sort of conference meeting space uh all that good technology and a teaching environment so that we could you know have people there so if your facility is interested in maybe hosting one of those next year please send me an email it’s Ashley ashle ycr reserve.
(54:49) com pretty easy uh just would really love to uh we should come to Toronto VJ we we should definitely do that yeah so again if if your facility has the requirements that we would need to host uh we would love to do that that that would be super special for us so all right guys well thank you so much this will be up on the um Court Reserve YouTube channel and a couple hours and we’ll see you on the next webinar have a great day thanks everyone

(04:28) hello everyone it’s Ashley with coure
(05:36) reserve and Josh Willies here today uh Josh we have quite an interesting webinar today it’s all about um maybe the little special buttons that you didn’t know existed in court Reserve not that we have any little special buttons uh we have you know lots of different things that sometimes make a difference sometimes when you probably come into live chat support you’re like I cannot figure this out and it’s that one button so what Josh has done is he’s actually gone through the system and he’s put together a great View and a teaching of
(06:09) you today of what we might may have forgotten and maybe new buttons that you didn’t even know existed today would that be a good description Josh that would be yeah well hey guys welcome H we’re gonna record this of course it’ll be up on the court Reserve YouTube channel uh later today once Josh gets it uploaded and then you know to put all of your questions please put them in the Q&A it makes it a lot easier for us to be able to answer those questions and um I actually you know I want to tell people what’s coming but I’m afraid Tim
(06:43) might kill me later and so since I’m on video we have so many good Integrations coming a restaurant point of sale coming a camera system coming uh just so many like cool things I want to tell people but I’m afraid to they’ll find out soon they they will for sure hey don’t forget we’ve got two more webinars planned this year we’re going to do some more later on at the end of this year we’re still finalizing what those are uh but if you are on the west coast Josh and I are actually going to be in Palm Desert uh starting next
(07:15) Saturday we’re going to come out to the uspta World Conference but if you are on the west coast and you want to meet with us sometime that next week uh please let us know we’ll send you the link to get a call or an in-person scheduled we’re going to be at one of the hotels out there in the Palm Desert and we’d love to meet you and if you’re not then we’re going to plan on having some Catalyst user conferences around the country next year we’re calling it the court reserve bus tour no bus involved uh but it’s
(07:40) going to be great we’re going to make a bunch of different stops and so hopefully we’ll get to meet you guys in person um so without further Ado Josh here we go all right let’s get started I can share my screen here all right great so customization and optimization in core Reserve there’s a lot of different places that we can be doing that customization and that optimization so I have sort of broken down this webinar into a few different sections here because I know we’ll be kind of going back and forth all around
(08:12) the system so the first section today will be in communication the first feature that I will be going over is push notifications if you don’t know what push notifications are push notifications are going to be a way that your organization can communicate or notify members directly from the court Reserve mobile app so this is going to be different from text alerts this is not something that’s sent to the member’s phone number this is a notification that the member will see directly from the court Reserve mobile
(08:46) app and if they click on that notification they get taken directly to that mobile app this is going to be an additional feature so if you would like to enable this feature we want to go over to settings on the sidebar scroll down to the bottom row and here you’re going to see additional features or add-ons if you’re on the older pricing structure and from the additional features or add-on page we can enable the push notification alert feature once we have that enabled we can be taken to the setup page and like all
(09:23) other forms of notification whether that be email or text we will be able to pick and choose chose which notifications are going to be sent as push notifications here if we have subscribed unchecked but active checked this notification will be disabled for the member by default but they can manually enable it if they would like to from the personal information page if we check subscribed then that means by default this push notification will be sent to these members and it will be enabled but if they’d like to
(09:58) manual disable it they can always do so with push notifications we do also have an additional tab here and this is going to be where we can upload our organization’s logo the reason for that is because since this is a notification from the court Reserve mobile app members are always going to see the court Reserve logo with that notification but we can additionally show our organization’s logo so that way if a member has an account in multiple organizations they can see which one is sending that specific notification we also have the ability to
(10:39) bulk send push notifications like we do for emails and texts so if we go to members on the sidebar we have the bulk text or the bulk push option when we go to thatpage we can send some information that we need to send to the member and when we go to the next page we can choose our recipients and we can also see a preview of what this push notification would look like on the memb mobile phone a benefit with push notifications is one again the notification is coming directly from the court Reserve app so if a member clicks on that notification
(11:17) they get brought directly to the mobile app they don’t get the text alert and then have to go find the app on their phone um and navigate to it this is is something that will directly bring them to the app and also with that push notifications do not have any pricing around how many push notifications are sent um this is just part of the text alert and push notification add-on for the price of the add-on so like text we have additional $5 for every 500 text that are sent but with push notifications you can send as many
(11:55) as you like to without getting any additional uh pricing for it so it can be cheaper on the organization end and it’s also just going to be an easier and an easier experience for your members hey Josh can I just say something so uh Tim and I we actually at Old Coast pickle ball the pickle ball club that we opened we use push notifications all the time specifically around filling classes and programming that have one or two spots open or if we have open court that you know we’d love for people to take advantage of like Same Day pricing I
(12:31) love push notifications because it is a very soft touch to someone’s phone it’s not as direct as a text message but I think push notifications are great because when they do open up their mobile device to come back into your organization they’re going to see some of those notifications and so again we love using it I think it’s a great value for what it is and I would just encourage folks if you’re not using push it is definitely one of my favorite things yeah yeah it’s great um and with Note communication um another feature
(13:03) that we have in the system is the ability to customize or add additional information to emails when we are sending out the email system notifications in the system so for example if we want to add our cancellation policy to the reservation confirmation notification that a member receives or if we would like to add our refund policy to the payment receipt notification that a member may be emailed we can add that information by going to settings on the sidebar going to the reservation settings row and going to the email
(13:42) messages page so from here if we go to create or edit one of these custom email messages the first step here is to choose which system notification email that we would like to add message too so it can be related to reservations events or anything payment related we can choose if the message that we’re adding will be included on the bottom of the notification or the top of the notification and then we can add any custom messaging that we would like to add to the system notification so anything we add here is in addition to
(14:21) the information that members already see in that notification all right and that goes over the communication aspect of this webinar so the next section that I have here is booking and event registration um I have one little tip and trick for reservations one for lessons and one for events for reservations is going to be the additional feature that we have called Court weight listing so if a member you know wants to book a specific Court type at a specific time but they see that all of the courts have been booked for that time this feature will
(15:03) allow them to join a wait list and from there if that spot opens up they will get a notification letting them know that that spot is now available for them if they would like to book it so again this is a an additional feature so if we want to enable this we’ll want to go back down to the additional features or the add-on row and on this page here we are going to be able to enable the coure weight list feature when we go to the setup page here this is going to be how we can set up Court weight listing on an organization-wide level there is going
(15:41) to be a way that we can apply this only to specific custom schedulers but first I will go over how we enable this for all members in an organization on the setup page um the only weight listing type that we have available is called any on weight list plus viewing scheduler basically what this means is if that spot opens up that a member joined the wait list 4 they can join and they can take that spot but also anyone else viewing the scheduler will be able to take that open spot as well but the member still gets
(16:17) the benefit of getting the notification that that spot is now open so that way they can get that notification and try to grab that spot quick quick L from here we can choose if members are going to be allowed to join the weit list from the member portal if we have this unchecked only admins would be ableto add members to the weit list and then from there we can allow members to wait list when desired Court type is available this setting how it works is say I have three pickle ball courts if all three of those pickle ball courts
(16:49) are open a member will not be able to join the weight list but if even one of those courts gets taken up then the weight list option will be available if I uncheck this setting then every single Court in that Court type would need to be booked in order for a member to join the waight list so with this checked only one Court in that Court type needs to be booked with it unchecked all courts in that Court type would need to be booked we can display the current number of players that are currently on the weight list for that specific time and
(17:26) then we can apply the membership booking rules when joining the wait list so if I have already booked two reservations for this week and we apply the membership booking rules during the weight list I would not be able to join the weit list if I have already hit that maximum restriction amount if I uncheck it my booking rules would only apply when I am actually trying to book the reservation after that spot has opened up so that’s going to be the difference there from there we can prevent the weight list x amount of hours out so if
(18:03) we only want to do it maybe for you know maybe last minute bookings or bookings within the next 24 hours we can do that and then we can choose which courts we want to apply the weight list to so this would set it up on an organization level but say maybe we only want to offer Court weight listing to specific membership types maybe we only want to give this feature to the premium membership at an organization we can instead set up Court weight listing on a custom scheduler level so if we are going to set it up
(18:40) that way we would want to not allow players on the member portal to register to the weight list on an organization level instead we would want to go back to settings go to court andall machine settings and go to the custom schedulers page and if I edit a custom scheduler that I have in the system for example here I have this custom scheduler specifically for my premium membership I can scroll down to the bottom of this edit page and I can override the weight listing settings so right now on an organization level I’m not allowing
(19:18) members to join the weight list from the member portal but when I override the weight listing settings on this custom scheduler that will allow allow me to apply these settings specifically to this custom scheduler and it will not apply to any other schedulers in my organization so if we set this up on a custom scheduler level and say for this custom scheduler only the premium membership can see it then that means only the premium membership members would be able to utilize the Courtway listing feature so that goes over the tip that I have
(19:58) for reservations for lessons I will be going over the book a pro scheduler that we offer so if we go back to settings on the sidebar and we go to instructor settings we’re going to have the book a pro setup page right here in the system by default if we don’t have a book appr pro pro scheduler set up members will not be able to book lessons in your organization and lessons can only be booked from the admin side the book approach scheduler is going to be what gives members access to booking lessons directly from their
(20:34) account so if we would like to give members the ability to do that we can go to the book appr pro setup page and if we have any schedulers here already created we can see them here but if I go to the edit page and we’re setting up the scheduler I think something that’s always important to point out here is we can set up these schedulers so that they’re filtered by instructor type by instructor by lesson type and we can also show the scheduler to specific memberships so depending on how many instructors you have at your
(21:13) organization depending on if you have different sports at your facility and you have pickle ball and Tennis Pros maybe if you want to set up a different scheduler for each membership in your organization we can do all of those different setups here just depending on how you configure each book appro scheduler that you create in the system so there’s going to be a lot of flexibility here and I will say how you set this up will most likely differ depending on how many instructors you have how many different lesson types you
(21:46) have um if you have a lot of different memberships with a lot of different booking rules that you’d like to set up for each one um but I think is important to know that you you have the flexibility to set up these Book appr Pro schedulers in many different ways depending on what you want to offer I mean for example you know if we have a book appr pro scheduler for our individual membership and then we have a different one for our premium membership if we have all of those set up indifferent schedulers we will be able to
(22:19) decide for each membership ship how much time in advance can an instructor be scheduled or how many days in advance are we going to show instructor availability for a premium membership versus an individual membership um so there’s again a lot of different ways you can set up the book appr pro schedulers it’s most likely going to depend on what you do offer at your organization the different membership types you may have at your organization um but there’s just going to be a lot of different ways we can customize the
(22:53) setup in the configuration for the book appr pro schedulers and then for the last tip that I’ll show here is going to be for events um this is really going to be two different setting pages that we have so for events if we go to settings and we go to the event settings Row the two pages that I will touch on today are going to be the event defaults and the event tags the event defaults are going to be the settings that are preset up whenever we create any new events moving forward so if we have a lot of settings that we are
(23:32) applying to 90% of the events that we are creating in our organization we can just set those settings up automatically on the event defaults page so that way every time we create an event we don’t need to manually go in and enable or or disable all of those settings so if we’re going to always have a weight list setup here um if we’re always going to have a Max registrant of 25 except for a few use cases you know we may want to consider setting all of these parameters up as event default so that way you really only need to deal with that
(24:13) setting if you’re going outside of this parameter that you set up here you know if you’re an organization that’s really pushing the requirement of payment profiles or upfront payment we can enable those settings from the event defaults page so that way you don’t need to think about that and set that up manually every single time that you are creating an event the next page that I will go over is going to be event tags so if we go back over to the event settings row we have the tags page on the end of this row and tags are going to be a way that
(24:52) members or admins can easily filter by different types of events in your organization so this is going to be sort of an optional way to categorize your events and here I have a few examples so if you offer adult senior and Junior clinics you can have different tags for each of those event types you know if you have different categories if you have your morning your afternoon and your evening clinics we can use all of those as tags and when we are creating an event we just need to apply those tags on the top of the setup page for an
(25:31) event and then from the member portal if I go over to my event list I’m going to be able to easily filter by these tags so if I’m looking just for the morning clinics or if I’m looking just for the adult Clinic I can use these tags to very easily filter the specific type of event that I am looking for hey Josh another thing that I love about tags is that you can add the Emoji to the tag and it populates h it’s it just makes it fun right so if you’re having a strength training class you can add the little arm pump of the muscle right uh so it’s
(26:16) just so cool you can use your short keys and they actually populate through and it’s just a really cool thing because then it’s another eye-catching uh way to let people easily be able to identify what they um want to sign up for right right and just adding a little character to your member portal you know making it stand out a little bit more and be a little bit unique when you’re on your organization’s member portal okay great yeah so that goes over booking and registration and just the different ways to customize or optimize
(26:49) in the system the last section that I have for today is going to be the member management and the reporting aspect of this webinar so the first thing that I will be going over in this section is going to be custom Fields if we go to settings on the sidebar there’s going to be a few different places that we can get to the custom Fields page but the first one we’ll see is going to be under reservation settings right here so when we are creating custom Fields there’s going to be a few different custom field categories that we can
(27:28) select depending on where we want to apply this custom field the first one here is going to be event this is going to be a custom field that shows up on the event setup page when you are creating or editing an event and this is going to be entirely on the admin side so this is not some thing that is used when a member is needing to add additional information to their event registration if we’re looking to do that we would want to instead use the event registering category this is going to be where we can ask for their doubles partner or
(28:07) their shirt size or any information that may be relevant to a specific Clinicthat we need the member to fill out when they are registering into that specific Clinic we have the member category so this is going to be a field that would populate on the details page or the personal information page for a member these are going to be the custom fields that we can also apply to the signup form so if there’s anything like emergency contact that you need to get from a member when they’re creating their account um we can set that up as a
(28:42) member custom field we have the reservation in the lesson custom field so when we select this we can choose which reservation or lesson types this custom field will be eligible for so if we want to ask some custom questions when a member is booking a private lesson to better understand what they are looking to learn and gain from that lesson you know we can always add those different custom fields for reservations and lessons and then we have a transaction category which would just be an additional field that you see on the admin payment window
(29:20) and if you go to the transaction details for a specific payment you would be able to see that custom field but with all of these different custom field types we’re going to be able to choose the field type that the member sees so we can choose the text box option that’s going to be a smaller text box similar to what we see right here we have text area which is going to be basically just just a larger text box if there is anything that a member needs to fill out that may be a little bit longer than just a few words and then we have the drop- down
(29:59) option so if you want to pre-create the options that the member would be selecting from this is going to be how we can choose those different options we can add additional options if we need more than four um and then from there the member would be selecting from what we are typing in for each option from there we can choose if that custom field will be required we can choose if it’s going to show on the member portal so if this is something that members should see on their end we can choose if this shows on
(30:32) the admin side so this is going to be something that’s visible when maybe a admin is creating a member’s account or when they are registering a member from the admin side are they going to see this custom field we you can choose if it’s going to be enabled which is basically just saying should this custom field be visible and then depending on the type that we choose we may get a few different additional settings here if we display on the member grid that would make this custom field visible on the member list page on the admin
(31:08) side if we are looking at an event registering custom field if we show it on the registrant list that’s going to give us an additional info icon next to each registrant’s name and that way we can easily identify the information that they filled out for that custom field so for example if I go to the event list and I want to see what members filled out for that custom field if I’m showing this on the registring list I get this info icon and I can see the information that that member had selected so that goes over custom Fields
(31:48) another part of member management that you can customize in the system is going to be check-in statuses so if you are an organization that is using check-in statuses and you sort of just want to manually Mark if a member is checked in or if they are noow we can also add additional statuses by going to the additional or to the organization settings row and then going to the check-in statuses page from here if we choose to enable the advanced check-in status we are going to be able to create check-in statuses we can
(32:28) choose if they’re going to be active and we can also choose the background color in the text color that we see when we are applying those statuses in reservations or events with that we can also choose the order that they would show in when we are adding a status to a member or to a registrant on an event um but this is just a way that you can create more statuses maybe there are some use cases that you want to have a specific status for this is going to be how we can have more than just checked in and noow has
(33:04) statuses here and the last thing that I will go over is a few tips and tricks with reporting to just make reporting a little bit easier on your end so when we are under any report in the organ in an organization I’ll use the members report as an example here if we have a report that we are maybe running on a weekly or monthly basis and we just want to be able to quickly pull that information so for example maybe I want to get a list of all members that are currently inactive right now I can apply all of the filters
(33:41) that I need to we can scroll down to the outputs we can apply which outputs are going to be relevant here and we can also sort these outputs as well so if we need to change the order of the outputs and also choose which ones we’re applying we can do that here and then if we click save filter orsave report on this specific report we can save this report so that we’re able to easily just come back to it in the future um and based on the filters we apply see how that information has changed on a weekly or a monthly basis we can choose if it’s
(34:21) something that only your account would be able to see or if it’s something that all system users in your organization should be able to use once we have a filter or a report saved if we click the saved filters or the saved report option we’ll be able to see all of those different saved filters we have and we can quickly load them so some examples that I have here say you’re an organization that is really pushing for every member to have a payment profile on their account if we save a filter that only shows us members with
(35:00) no payment profile we can run this on a weekly or a monthly basis and then with the members report something that I really like here is we have the ability to email text or send a push notifications to these members um so if you want to just get that list of all members that have no payment profiles send them a quick email to let them know that your organization’s going to need that information that can be really handy for you all right um and then another one that I will point out for reporting is in this case may be a
(35:39) little bit more relevant for your transaction or your financial reporting if we go to something like the sales summary we can also use this save filter button um but say you want to just filter this report on a monthly basis or we want to see everything from last week if we use this drop down to select this week last week or current month or anything like that when we save this filter and then we load it in the future it’s going to be looking at this setting here rather than the specific dat so these specific dates will automatically
(36:18) be applied based on what we are choosing in this drop down here so that can be really handy if you just want to quickly run a financial report based on last week or the current month or last month or the current year all right so that goes over everything that I wanted to cover today Ashley do we have any questions or anything that you wanted to touch on yeah actually um you must have knocked it out of the part because we only have one question so far and it was from your very first um going over emails and Nancy had a question how do we know what
(36:57) they see already in the email um or what we might want to add um as far as the email goes yeah so if you’ve already sent email system notifications out to your members and you want maybe just a reference of what that’s going to look like we can take a look at the notification audit log in your organization by going to audits on the sidebar and then looking at notifications so this would show us really any notifications that have been set based on the filters that we apply here let me remove my date filter so we
(37:30) can see a little bit more information so for example if I just want to take a look at what the current reservation confirmation email looks like we can click the details here if we send it as a push notification you can see the preview and if we send it as an email we can see what that email will look like and if we add any additional custom information you know we’ll be able to see that custom information when we click on details so we’ll be able to see exactly what this looks like from the member perspective so her next question are are
(38:11) there templates already set up so that’s a great question uh because uh while you guys were learning and in class I was actually talking to Tim about some of the upcoming things that we are going to be um working on this fall to add to court reserve and a new and improved email Designer is coming and Josh I believe you’re going to work on the ability to create templates within that is that right correct yes um so there’s going to be a new email Designer that we’re working on and that will include the ability to create templates for
(38:45) emails that you are bulk sending to members um and I don’t want to share too much information but we are looking into how we can allow organizations to customize system notifications as well we haven’t started the development or anything on that but just know that that is something we have been discussing and and will be in the work shortly yeah and I also got permission to share a couple other things um account credit CRS is coming that’s super exciting because right now if a player has a credit on their account then if an admin is
(39:23) processing a payment it’s automatically going to pull from that credit and so account credits is like 90% there it’s so exciting because now the admins will have the ability to save that credit and use it for what the player or the member wants so that’s excellent uh save my play integration I mentioned earlier uh video cameras right we have them at Old Coast pickleball it’s where uh the cameras come you set them up and thenthe player can actually uh Say Hey I want you to record my session on the court and then it emails the clip to the
(39:53) player it’s such a cool integration we’ve been using it at Old Coast for about four months now and the players really love it uh Go tab Go tab is another integration we’re doing this allows a point of sale restaurant style so that’s another great integration so if you have a club that you know you need a little bit more than your pro shop and selling beers you want to ring up a burger and some fries and give a tip and a discount that’s what go tab’s going to do uh improved player onboarding um I believe that goes
(40:22) towards maybe the registration page Josh is that right so this will have to do with um onboarding just on when you’re creating an account also through the Branded app just making the experience for creating an account as a new player easier and just more frictionless when you’re going through that process merge members know for you existing Court Reserve clubs who have been here you’re the OG’s merge members is something that’s probably exciting for you and then the last one he is allowing me to talk about is team based event
(40:56) registration yay that’s so awesome a lot of great stuff that’s coming out in October yeah and so team based registration for events is great because then we can have teamb based leagues and things like that and so that’s another cool uh really good so uh let’s see any more questions here uh are the coaches have to be set up on book a pro in order for a customer to book them online yes yes yeah so they would need to be set up as an instructor in your organization in order to add them to a book apro scheduler yep I know a lot of orgs that
(41:32) use book apro and they love it it makes it so easy even if you don’t want them to go ahead and have confirmation of the lesson just for the notification to the pro the pro is like oh can I do this lesson at this time or not it’s great all right before you guys jump off we have two more webinars coming up next week is all about your instructors um instructor Essentials so that is going to be about everything instructor so get your instructors to watch it so they’ll know a little bit more about court reserve and maybe your front desk as
(42:01) well so that’s going to be a good one and then in October uh Wednesday October 2nd um perfecting the point of sale so I know Josh you’re going to do a great job on that and we’ve made some improvements around the point of sale so that is going to be great all right well you get great job with all these tips and tricks I hope everybody learned something new today even if it was one thing so don’t forget this will be in the YouTube channel a little bit later today and we’ll see you next week have a great day everybody
(42:31) thank you all bye

(00:00) hi everybody Welcome to the court Reserve webinar uh today we’re going to be talking about point of sale and all of the fun things that you can do in court Reserve with the point of sale um I am Kim from the product team I am joined by Josh also with our product team and then we have a special guest joining us today as well Connor from the team at throuth and so we’re going to give you guys um really a in an in-depth into the court Reserve point of sale and then also Connor is going to be sharing with us some uh awesome things about
(00:32) what froth can do as the Pro Shop Pros um so I’m going to go ahead and let Connor take it away here in a second but if you have questions as we go along there is a Q&A section um just feel free to drop any questions into the Q&A and we will address them as we go along hopefully we’ll be able to answer a lot of those questions that you have live um but if there’s anything that you are curious about please don’t hesitate to ask okay so Connor I will let you take it away Thank you very much Kim um I appreciate you guys taking the time to
(01:03) do this I um am excited to share a little bit about what I myself and from with Rocket Sports does so um qu everyone see my screen we’re all good there I believe yep you’re good to go great um so fou Rocket Sports has been around since the late 70s um it started as a pro shop but we slowly turned into to to a Wholesale Distributor when the tennis boom hit um so what that means is we have a big Warehouse as all the tennis Brands um whether it’s shoes apparel Court equipment in every racket sport um for your Club so let me see yes
(01:51) so um we’re the largest wholesale distributor in the US in racket Sports um so we carry every sport you see up there um tennis has always been our bread and butter forever uh but obviously with the opportunity of pickle ball we’ve to have head first into that what we see with padell and then some of the older racket Sports platform squash rocketball badminton and then some newer ones Beach tennis and pop tennis so our customers are country clubs independent retail shops high schools and universities um so why froth so fromo this is a little
(02:35) bit of background but we are you can go directly to these brands or you can go to froth fouth has a exceptional reputation in the industry and it’s really why we exist for our customer service um and shipping those are two major Staples for us um they’re we keep it old school we have a full customer service staff on 247 on the phones um and they can steer you in the right direction take care of anything you want um and then that quick shipping so satisfying that customer as quickly as possible and being able to keep a
(03:16) tight inventory of your product as I said before no minimum work quantity so that makes it less of a headache um another thing that makes it less of a headache by going through us is we are that One-Stop shop right you’re not going to all these different brands and having to order 20 rackets of one model at a time um and waiting a few weeks to get that you can get everything at once from us whether it’s Wilson balls and head rackets um or babat shoes Nike shoes all that um and then a big um piece of our business which I will dive
(03:57) into um as we go forward is is the because we sell all these clubs is the logo embellishment um so I’ll get into that more um here so I wanted to go over a lot of Trends we are seeing in this industry right we when you call us you’re not just going to get products from us um and do that One-Stop shop you are going to get advice from us you can ask us anything so whether it’s what we we see selling the latest trends our customer service team is updated weekly and trained to really be the experts here so that you can run an
(04:40) efficient Pro Shop um so a major Trend that we’ve seen an uptick in as a result of what Amazon brings to the table as a competitor and just the surplus of brands that are in the industry now is logo embellishment so this is something we really preach to all of our customers and they love and continue to use us for this um is doing this custom product for your customers it’s they don’t they’re not going to buy a plain Nike te I mean they may in some cases but they can go to Amazon for that now they can go online
(05:26) and find the cheapest one they want to buy the Nike te with your logo on it um so that has been a great success on our side and all the clubs we sell to it’s all about that they want to leave with that momento after they have a great time at your Club um so we do all that for clubs as I said big a lot of tournaments big tournaments like a Philly Cricket Club for example will come to us and say hey we need 300 t-shirts for national grass courts um and this is our pricing this is our size they get all that information we will
(06:12) set up a form and do all that for you and then they have no backend they are getting it straight through their door and out their door and it’s a it’s an easy money maker there um for allparties involved and then um leagues is a big one we do so a lot of men’s and women’s tennis leagues custom apperal um but this is just a piece of the industry that continues to Boom um we used to Outsource a lot of our Uh custom product and we saw such an uptick that we built a logo embellishment um like little Factory in our warehouse um as of that so that is a
(06:57) big piece of the Pro Shop business now um we I know I got a little into it on what we do as a wholesaler but I think it’s important to note that we also do own and operate a few Pro Shops ourselves um one being the USA national campus and that custom merch has continues to fly off the shelf right you have a great experience at a phenomenal location um and that is really uh paid off for us so um that is something we continue to preach the next Trend I will go over is pickle ball clubs as we all know pickle ball clubs are hot this is where a lot
(07:43) of the money in the industry is being um blown through and um pickle ball boom is huge but it’s a very difficult sport to navigate when it comes to the equipment right now there is a surplus of Brands um and there’s a new hot brand every year it’s it the trend it’s very hard for us to track honestly but we feel like we’ve gotten a good handle on it over the last year um but as you see up there it is known as the Wild West in the industry because there is so much going on with 2,000 plus paddle Brands and um it it can be a very difficult
(08:30) thing to navigate in the pickleball world right now um so up here I gave a little example of kind of what we list out and what we can do for you and help steer you in the right direction that you can put that product in your shop and it will go out the door um so from Top shoe brands to top paddle Brands to um top clothing Brands you know we we really see it all and we have that large sample size from the wholesale side and then we get to see it firsthand with the Pro Shop side so um I think we’ve gotten a pretty good handle on it and I I don’t
(09:12) wish it to be the wild west anymore um but this is what we can help you with so like the Big Brand we saw come into the space really they’ve been around for a little while but a merge this year was 6-0 obviously everyone knows Yola and cirk and um another one is Crush come on in the scene there is just a lot going on and it’s hard to navigate it’s hard to commit to one brand right now in pickle ball unless they’ve really cemented themselves like a Yola like a selker and um that is where we can come in and kind of steer in the right
(09:55) direction and you only have to order two or three if you want you don’t you can order one if you want you know it makes this just an easier process for you um so you’ll see top women shoe brands we’ve seen so like a k Swiss has really emerged they’ve made a strong uh Resurgence in the industry and that’s um one we continue to see go up uh but yeah so that’s a super hot trendy thing right now is all these pickleball clubs and franchises are popping up and they don’t know what to stock on their shelves so they are coming to us and we
(10:31) are doing free Consulting basically as a result of them being a customer um another one you will hear about and it’s an it’s such an exciting time to be in the racket Sports industry there’s more going on than there has been in 25 years since the tennis boom so um and that’s a result of pickle ball and now padell which has been built out overseas that they it’s just a very exciting uh time to be in the space and there’s a lot of opportunity um so padell padell is something is a Sporter padell paddle um I know it gets a little confused in
(11:12) the platform so the name you can call it what you want but um this is a sport that is starting to see really tremendous growth um across the US there’s a lot of money being poured into it and and there is a lot of money to get out of it um as a result of the clientele the product rackets are two to 300 bucks that are on the higher tier end and they don’t last forever um they depending on how much you play but these are some of what we’re seeing and I do a lot of this with all the new padell clubs coming up in the industry I am
(11:51) walking them through what brands to use for balls rackets shoes um and it’s really been a trial and error process for us over the past year and a half um but over the last six months with all these clubs being built out um and being very Hands-On in this process and visiting clubs I’ve learned a lot and our team has learned a lot about the hot Brands the right Brands to carry um and how to just really go about the process um there because it is so new in the US and not enough people um know about it um but again that money is coming in and
(12:36) it is super hot right now so um that’s a little bit about broth I am happy to connect with any of you um after this I can walk you through kind of what we do what we recommend for your pro shop and all that so um I I really appreciate the Court Reserve team they’ve been a greatpartner in this process and uh thank you guys absolutely thank you so much for joining us and Connor if you want to shoot me over your contact information I will get that over to um our customer success team and then if any of our um customers have questions about how to

(14:09) joining us today um today we’re going to be going over all things point of sale I’ll sort of touch on some more basic things at the beginning of this webinar so if there is anybody here that is maybe not as familiar with the point of sale feature we can sort of touch on the Essentials um and then on the second half of this webinar I will be going over things like Inventory management and also the sales reporting that we have in the system before I get started in the system I would like to point out that on October 15th we did release our
(14:42) integration with goab so if you are a facility that is selling food or beverage you can now integrate goab into your organization and any fees that are generated from goab will be pushed over to this member’s account in court Reserve um I won’t go too in detail on the actual integration because we are going to have a webinar with the goab team going over this integration in a lot more detail so if you are interested in that definitely be on the lookout because we will be sharing more information on the date and the time of
(15:19) that webinar once we get that for you so let me go ahead and get into into the system here and we can get started so I will jump over into court Reserve okay great so I’m sure a lot of you here if you’re at this webinar you already have point of sale enabled in your organization but if not and you are looking to use the point of sale feature we can go over to settings on the sidebar and if you scroll down to the bottom row here we’re going to have the additional features or the add-on row and on the additional features or add-on
(15:56) page that’s going to be where you can enable point of sale once you have that enabled if we go back to this sidebar navigation you will now have a point of sale button on this sidebar here and this is going to be where we can start setting up our items and things like that so I’ll kind of just go over the basics here before we actually create any items in the system a few things that we can set up our item categories so apparel beverages you know if you’re selling paddles or rackets um this is going to be where we can create all of
(16:33) those categories and when we are creating or editing a category we can also include a revenue category so rather than having to add that Revenue category to each individual item this can just save you some time on that setup and you can just apply it to the entire category with that we can also set up our tax rates and some manufacturers in the system before we actually get started with creating any items so under the items drop down here we’re going to have the taxes page this is going to be where you can see all of the tax rates
(17:09) you already have created in the main section of Court Reserve but if you need to add any you can also add them from the point of s setup as well and then below that we are going to have the manufacturers page and these are all things that you would be applying to an item when you are creating those individual items so um it may be best to just set these up beforehand that way you have everything set up and ready to go prior to creating those items um but if we need to add that distinction between these specific
(17:42) manufacturers and you want to break it down by a manufacturer in your reporting you’ll be really helpful to just get those created on this page so after we have those set up we can start actually creating items in the system so we can go over to the item list and this is going to be where we can create those items when we create them this is going to be where we apply that category that manufacturer unit cost and retail costof an item tax rates um and then we can also keep track of the stock of an item so we can add how much we actually have
(18:18) in stock and then we have a stock onand alert that we can add as well so if we want to start getting a little bit of a notice once an item is low in inventory we can add the number here where we would like to sort of start seeing that alert um and a little bit further in this webinar I’ll show you the reorder stock page that shows that alert we can add the UPC or the skew code here as well and then also add an item page AG or an item image if we would like to so with items once you have created it there’s also the option of creating
(19:00) variations to that item so if you are selling something like a sweatshirt or a t-shirt or athletic shorts or anything like that we can add VAR uh variations for those different sizes of shirts so we can click add variation next to an item right here and with each variation we can set up our own unit cost retail price and we can also keep track of the stock on hand for specific variations and also get alerts for specific variations as well so that kind of just briefly goes over the basics of creating items and
(19:39) item variations in your point of sale um something that I will add is we do also have the ability to import your inventory so if you are newer to the point of sale feature um and maybe you were using a different system previously and you just want to quickly get all of those items added under the items drop down we do have an import inventory button here and when we get to that page we are going to have this little button here to download our template you can also reach out to our customer success team if you need any assistance
(20:16) with just making sure your import sheet is formatted correctly um and they’ll be happy to look over your Excel sheet and your template to make sure everything is set up correctly before actually doing this import so once we have the items actually created then we can actually launch the point of sale system so if you click launch point of sale here this is going to be where we can see all of our items and we can add it to the cart if we need to if we have variations for an item this is going to be where we see
(20:50) it so when we click on that item there will be a drop down for each of those different variations that we have from here we also have the option to Discount an items price we do also have the ability to add some shortcuts if there are some common discount percentages that you are adding so if we go back to the setup page under the settings button on the sidebar we are going to have a discount table here so if you have you know maybe an employee discount that you just want to quickly apply in some cases we can
(21:29) just add a shortcut button for this discount so that way you don’t manually need to type in the percentage that you are giving to those items so here you can see I have a few different examples of that from this page we can also choose which payment types are going to be allowed in the point of sale system so if there is anything like cash or check or gift card or anything manual that you would like to keep out of the point of sale system when you get to that payment process this is going to be where we can remove those different payment
(22:06) types but if we go back to the actual point of sale where it is launched if we click the discount button on an item this is going to be where we have that drop down and you can label them whatever you’d like so if if you’d like to label it you know employee discount rather than 15% you can always do that and then once we get to the checkout page something that I would like to point out here and this is a small adjustment that we’ve made based on the account credits feature that we released on October 15th so if you are manually applying
(22:44) account credit to unpaid fees rather than automatically applying it and we select a member here that has account credit on their account here we can see I have this amount in account credit we’re now going to have this toggle here where we can decide if we would like to apply this credit to this payment and then we can always disable it if we would like to charge the member’s card or just add the fee to the member’s account um so I did want to point that out since this is part of a new release that we had um in October
(23:19) hey Josh there’s a question I wanted to um get answered for us real quick um if you flip back over into the variations on the item list is there a way of copying A variation currently in court Reserve I do not believe so let me check no it does not look like there is but that is something we can keep note of yeah definitely we’ll take and add that to our our product road map yes yes thank you all right great um so that’s sort of the essentials of using of setting up items and then using and launching the point
(23:58) of sale I just wanted to touch on that for anybody that maybe isn’t as familiar with the point of salefeature all right um I see that that we do have a question for a cash list with credit card on file what allowed payment type should we check so let me go back over to the settings page so on the top here we’re going to have credit card swipe SL manual if you are integrated with a payment provider this is actually going to be checked and disabled so we can’t disable if you can use credit card or not in the point of
(24:32) sale if you are looking to do cash list or prevent any sort of manual fe uh payments from happening we can uncheck manual credit card cash check and gift card so that way the only two options that we have here are the credit card swipe or the manual credit card um that would include payment profiles or we can charge the fee to the account without actually processing a payment there so that would be what I recommend adding if you’re trying to do cash list all right do we have any other questions before I move forward um there
(25:12) have been a couple questions just around tab but I’m going to take care of those questions just with my typed answers um so go ahead and you can keep going okay great um so yeah like I was saying um that kind of just goes over the essentials of creating items item variations categorizing them and then using the actual or launching the actual point of sale some things that I really want to focus on in this webinar today are going to be a few ways that we can manage inventory and then a few ways we can and report on our
(25:50) sales so if we go back to the items drop down we are going to have this page here that is called stock adjustment from this page we are going to be able to see every item that we have and every variation of each item that we have as well and we can see the amount of stock that we have on hand and we also have this button here to quickly adjust the stock for these items so if you had a small order that just came in or you need to make changes to multiple items in terms of the stock that you have on hand this is a quick way that
(26:27) you can do that for multiple items when we click on the adjust stock button we’re going to be able to choose an action type here so we’re going to have some actions that will add to your stock on hand like stock received sorry we also have the ability to do an inventory recount and then we also have some action types that would subtract from the stock on hand so if anything’s damaged if anything’s lost we’ll be able to track all of that and then from there we can make that change if you are looking for a report
(27:10) that will quickly show you all of these stock adjustments whether that be you know filtering by the date that they were adjusted or the system user that made those changes we do have a stock adjustments report on this page we do have a shortcut to it we do also have it under our reports as well so when we get on this page this is almost going to be like an audit log that is showing us all of these stock adjustments that were done in your organization we’re going to be able to see the item name and the variation name
(27:49) we can see how it impacted the quantity we can see the action type and we can see the system user that made that change as well we’re also going to be able to filter by System user um and item categories item names and things like that as well one second sorry so if we’re looking to just find a quick place where we can see all of those adjustments for any item in our organization we can easily do that from this report if I go back to the stock adjustment page you’ll also notice that when we click adjust stock we can see
(28:31) the stock history for individual items as well so those are going to be the two places where we can quickly see that stock adjustment the report would be where we can see any stock adjustment for any item in our point of sale inventory so now if I go back down to reports we’re going to have some different reports here um if you remember previously when we were setting up an item we could set up a stock onand alert so that when the inventory was low for an item we could get an alert for it when we see the restock or the
(29:06) reorder stock button we’re going to have this little red dot here if there are any items that have reached that alert amount when we click on on this page we’re going to be able to see the current quantity and then also the amount that we have set that alert to so this is a good place to just keep track of any items that you may have low inventory on all right and then if we go back up to the top of this report here uh reports drop down the first two that we have our item sales and category sales this is going to be a place where we can
(29:46) can see the net sales or the amount without tax that this item was sold for we’ll be able to see the amount that was sold uh or the tax amount in that purchase we’ll be able to see the gross sales so that amount including the tax and then we’ll also be able to see the profit that we made so it’s basically going to take the net sale amount andthen subtract the unit price of that item so we can see how much we made as an organization on these sales same goes for the category sales page the only difference here is this is
(30:21) going to be broken down by category rather than each individual item that we have in the system um but we’re going to have the same columns here so we’re going to be able to see the net sales the amount in tax from that purchase and then also the gross sales and the profit the next report here we have is the inventory valuation on this page we’re going to be able to see how much we have on stock for a specific category we have this plus icon that will show us each individual item that’s in that category so when we’re looking
(31:03) at the average cost it’s the average cost of all items under this category but we can break it down to the items and also the variations for that specific item from here we would be able to take a look at the amount we have on hand multiply by the cost of that item and see how much an asset value we have of that specific item there and we can also see based on the asset value what percentage it is of our total asset in our inventory we will also get the retail value so how much it costs for retail price and we can see that percentage in
(31:45) total retail for our inventory as well all right sorry losing my voice a little bit um so the next report that we have here is the sales tax report this is actually going to take us over to the Sal summary that we have in the main section of Court Reserve so if we are trying to get a breakdown in terms of net and gross sales and the amount in tax that was paid in our point of sale purchases we can do that from the sales summary you can also pull this up when you’re in the main section of Court Reserve but when we run this
(32:27) report we’re going to be able to see the amount in sales that were exempt we will be able to also see the amount in sales that were taxable and then we’ll get a breakdown for each different tax rate that you have in the system and how much you collected in that tax rate from there you’ll also be able to see the gross sales and the net sales in point of sale as well from this report we also have the payment summary so from here we’re going to be able to see just the total amount in payments that we have made through the point of
(33:03) sale and this will break down the payments by each payment type that we have in the system here and then we have the sales page this is going to show us each sale that we have made in the system we’ll be able to see the subtotal the amount we collected in tax and then the total amount as well as the payment type for that sale and then also who had tendered that sale as well sorry I am losing my voice um do we have any questions or anything that anybody wanted to go over I know I kind of briefly went through some of those reports because I was
(33:49) losing my voice a little bit yeah there was a question if we want to back up to just how to charge uh users in the point of sale so let’s go um back to your point of sale launch the point of sale and then open an order and there’s um some questions surrounding how do does a user or a member need to be set up in the system and have an account set up in court Reserve in order to purchase items through the the point of sales system so does does every single person I sell to have to have an account in my court Reserve database they will not have to
(34:25) have an account created so if I let me add an item to my cart really quick if we go to the checkout this member drop down is going to be optional so if you do have somebody you know you can quickly find their account link this fee to their account but you don’t necessarily need to so if you have someone at the point of sale that has doesn’t have an account in your organization and you want to process that payment we can still use you know our payment methods without selecting a member here and Josh is the ability to I can’t
(34:59) remember so I’m gonna ask if you know the answer to this is the ability to um control whether or not you can do that is that a setting within the point of sale as well that they need to say um allow members to charge if they don’t have an account um I do not believe we have a setting for that right now but we can definitely keep note of that right just want to make sure if it was something that we added later on after the point of sale was introduced that you know normally it’s a setting but okay yeah right now we do not have a setting for
(35:36) that the only type of restriction that we can sort of add to the point of sale is under settings we can restrict suspended or inactive members from having point of sale items charged to their account cool um and there was a suggestion that also came in for someone that does not have an account it’s a good idea to create a profile for miscellaneous income so the items might be easier to find because yes when you do charge somebody or you do process a payment in point of saleand it’s not tied to remember um those
(36:06) those items when you’re looking at your transaction list later um they’re you know if you’re filtering by a member they’re not as easy to find if they don’t have a person that’s a good idea that is yeah all right and then is there a way for court Reserve to automatically apply a member discount rather than having to manually apply a discount right now we do not have a way to link the discount amount to specific memberships or anything like that um the best option that we have right now is just sort of creating this discount percentage
(36:39) shortcut so that way you can quickly apply it when you are selling those items all right sorry I’m answering a question here live um let’s see is there a way for Port Reserve to automatically oh you just answered that one okay um and can you restrict a member from charging to their account and then somebody did also want to point out there is a setting in each individual’s member account that will restrict you from being able to charge to their account so if you want to show where that setting is people might be
(37:15) interested in that as well thank you for that suggestion all right yeah so if we are under a member’s account under the details tab if we scroll down to the bottom here there’s going to be a charge to account not allowed on point of sale so if we do need to restrict you know just an individual from being charged there this is going to be where that setting is Right awesome that was the all of the open questions that we have right now okay great well that was all that I had to cover sorry I know I kind of lost my
(37:46) voice halfway through and started running through those reports so if anybody has any additional questions always feel free to reach out to our customer success team um and then if anybody has any questions for Connor from froth and you don’t have time to send it in the Q&A right now you can always reach out to our customer success team they can send that over to us and then we can make sure Connor gets that question okay perfect well um awesome nothing else came in on the question and answer section Connor thank you again so much
