New Access Level and More Fields in the Download Member Data Export!

This release features a new access level on the District level which gives you the ability to grant specific members with access rights to be able to download member data. Previously only available to Site Admins, you can now give access to specific members from the Member Access Rights page on the District site. 

Best of all, the download member export now allows you to export more fields into an excel report, such as Website URL, Membership Number, Birthday, Classification and much more. Furthermore, you can even customize the filters you would like to apply to your report by selecting the fields you require such as 'Active & Honorary'  members and Date Joined, Terminated, Last Login, Date Modified, etc.

The all new redesigned photo organization chart now also displays your member designations with special icons along with the name of your club and your title in the form of a business card. Identifying member designations just got easier!

District Dashboard Updates

Within the District dashboard, you now also have the ability to filter by area such that you can generate membership statistics by area as well as by club for a more refined search. A vast improvement to the AG module, with this new update, Assistant/Area Governors can now access a dashboard view of all the clubs in their area. Additionally, AG's also can now generate more reports to monitor their clubs membership.

Customizable Email Templates & Attendance Reminder Email 

ClubRunner District Version 2.2 gives you the ability to create numerous custom email templates. Moreover, you now also can customize your attendance reminder emails and edit the content as you wish!

In addition to the existing reports tracking your email statuses, a new reporting module within the Emails tab allows you to view all the members with missing email addresses. You have the option to view their phone numbers in order to call and follow up and request a member data update.

These are of course only some of the changes implemented.

Feature Tips of the Week!

Did you know you there are two new story widgets available in the Dynamic Bulletin Editor?

You now have the choice between inserting either your 'story brief' or 'all details' (brief and content) into your dynamic bulletin. These two new options can be found in the widget selector menu in the Bulletin designer.  Selecting the story brief widget will display an image and just the brief with a link directing readers to the complete article. Selecting the 'all details' widget will insert an image along with the entire article into the dynamic bulletin.

Did you know you can now grant permission to specific members within the District site to be able to download member data?

Feature Updates - Website Designer, Committees Module & Dues & Billing!

Deleting Widgets Confirmation!

We always appreciate your feedback on the system and always strive to incorporate your suggestions into the ClubRunner platform.

As part of our latest feature update release, we've added a layer of protection in order to ensure widgets are not deleted from the Website Designer screen by mistake. As many of you requested, you will now be asked to confirm whether you wish to delete a widget from the designer screen upon clicking on the delete button. Upon clicking 'yes', your widget will be deleted. If you had clicked the delete button in error, the confirmation message will give you the ability to cancel the request.

Did you know you can now select and e-mail members of subcommittees from the e-mail tab in the Committees module?

You now have the ability to select members of subcommittees as recipients of your emails. From the Committees module, upon clicking on the e-mail tab, the system will allow you to expand your subcommittee member listing in order to see the members and select and email them.

New Currencies Added in the Dues & Billing Module!

In order to accommodate our International clients, we've added new currencies in the system such that invoices can be created with currencies pertinent to the country. This release includes the addition of Kuwaiti Dinar and Uganda Shillings. A full listing of the currencies available can be accessed from the 'Configuration Settings' page found in the Dues and Billing module.

Please continue to send in your feedback and suggestions to us! Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our support team.

Feature Update - Club Documents

Just a few months ago, we announced that it was now possible to collapse sub-folders as well as transfer documents between folders in the Club Documents section.

Since then, we received some wonderful feedback whereby you requested that the default setting for the folders be set so that all folders remain closed. As part of our latest release, you will notice that when you access the Club Documents section, your folders will all be in the 'closed' state. You can expand any of the folders you like and the system will then remember how you last left the page, so that the next time you access the documents storage page, it will display your documents as you had last left the page.

We thank you for the wonderful feedback! Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact our support team!

Event Planner 2.0

You can also send emails from the Event Planner 2.0 module to those who have registered and those who still have not.

2012 Rotary International Convention in Bangkok - A ClubRunner Overview!

A fascinating event with a mix of both the Eastern and Western culture, the 2012 Rotary International convention was an exciting and fun-filled event for the more than 35,000 Rotarians in attendance.

During this action packed event, the ClubRunner booth was bustling with activity! From an overview of the latest ClubRunner features and enhancements to the highly anticipated sneak peak of ClubRunner Version 3.0, we had a variety of events taking place at the booth every day!

Halle, Sarah & Jeff from the ClubRunner team had an amazing time meeting all of our wonderful customers and listening to all of their great suggestions. In fact, we received some excellent feedback and will work on implementing those suggestions to the ClubRunner service in the near future.
On May 8th, as we began the sneak peak demo of the forthcoming ClubRunner Version 3.0 platform, we had an overwhelming response from both our current and prospective customers. As our unveiling party continued, the crowd at our booth continued to grow and we were ecstatic to see the interest levels of fellow Rotarians peak as they excitedly signed up to become beta testers. We also held demonstrations to highlight the ClubRunner Mobile App and were delighted to see the download statistics double during the convention.

During the five days, we had many people enter to win our mystery prize and it was awarded to Whay Yih from the Rotary Club of Bugis Junction. We also held a raffle to give away 10 free year's subscriptions to ClubRunner and the lucky winners will be announced within the coming weeks.

Thank you to everyone who visited the ClubRunner booth and made this event memorable! We'll be uploading photos and videos from the convention soon. In the meantime, if you have any pictures you want to share with us, join the conversation and get connected with us on our Facebook Fan Page!
