Tips for the Week!

Did you know that you can now hide old invoices from previous Rotary years within the Dues and Billing module?

Treasurers now have the ability to hide the invoices from the previous Rotary year to declutter and start with a clean screen every year. Upon landing on the Billing home page, you will notice a new link next to  "Create New Bill" called "Hide Old Bills". Clicking on this will automatically hide all previous bills (whether open or closed) from the previous Rotary years. Clicking on "Show All Bills" will then list everything for you to view again.

Did you know you can customize your story titles using HTML tags?

A popular request from our advanced users, we've now added the ability to add HTML tags to the titles of Stories, Photo Albums and Site Pages. Simply add the HTML tags in the title field itself to customize the look and feel of your titles. As well, we're happy to inform you that Site Pages now support special characters in the title name as well!

Did you know that registrants can now modify their registrations from additional places apart from the link in their confirmation email?

In addition to the confirmation email that the registrant receives which includes the link to modify their event registration details, members can now also access their event registrations in order to modify and review their registrations from the following sections:

1) My Commitments link found on the Admin Page
2) The Commitments tab, found in the Edit My Profile Section
3) Member Commitments found in the Club Bulletin

These are just a few updates we've made based on your feedback. We'd like to thank you for all of your suggestions and feedback over this past year. There are still a lot of excellent suggestions we're working on implementing into the system - stay tuned!

Tip of the Week!

Did you know that you can now select and send your bulletin to specific users in the club?

Clubs using Version 3.0 will now be able to select specific members from the list of recipients to send the bulletin to, if they wish. You still have the option to send to the various groups as well, however now upon landing on the 'Send Bulletin page', you will see an 'expand list' button next to each group. Clicking on expand list will open a window which will display all the members within that group. You even have a search function within that window, where you can begin typing the recipients name as well.

Simply select which bulletin edition you'd like to send, add the subject line and select your recipients!

A very popular request, this is just our way of making ClubRunner a custom solution that is easy to use. There's still a lot more in the pipeline, as our team works hard to implement all the suggestions we receive in our customer wish list.

If you would like to provide us with feedback on the Version 3.0 bulletin module or have suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us at feedback@clubrunner.ca.

Tips for the Week!

Did you know that you can now set the speed and timing of the transitions of your photo album slideshows?

A very popular request, if you're using Version 3.0, you now have the ability to set the speed and timing of the transitions of your slideshows! In fact, there are seven new transition effects to choose from including effects such as fade, carousel right, carousel left, etc.

To apply these settings, click on the Edit link under the Actions column within the Photo Album Library page for the album you want to edit. Here, under the Slide Show Settings section, you will see all the options for you to customize. Once done, simply save your changes.

District Grants Module Users, did you know that we have updated the Financial Summary Report to display transactions not associated with any projects as well?

We've been receiving a lot of feedback about our Grants module and over the next few weeks will be implementing many of the suggestions received. In fact, we've just updated the Financial Summary Report based on your feedback to include transaction information not associated with any projects. These transactions can be associated with bank deposits, administrative tasks, etc and will be accessible from the section labeled "General Transactions".

Please do continue sending us your feedback at feedback@clubrunner.ca.
