Introducing Google Analytics for Clubs and Districts!

We’re happy to announce that clubs and Districts will now be able to track their website traffic and monitor various site statistics with Google Analytics for clubs (beta)! At this time, we are looking for clubs that would be willing to volunteer and assist us in our beta testing and provide us with feedback on its performance.

With Google Analytics incorporated into your ClubRunner website, you will be able to uncover trends and patterns of website traffic and will be able to track your sponsor ads and more. If your club is willing to participate in our beta testing, we ask that you kindly e-mail admin@clubrunner.ca with your Google Analytics Key, so that we can turn this feature on for your club. If you do not currently have a Google Analytics Key, you will need to first create an account by visiting http://www.google.com/analytics, after which you will be given an analytics key unique to your account.

Thank you for your ongoing support! We value your time and commitment to ClubRunner and look forward to your participation!

Tip of the Week!

Is your club fully utilizing the Event Planner Module?

Did you know, you can see the registration status to see how registrations are going with a click of a button? Club members can accept or decline invitations so as to not keep getting invited and can also enter in comments; the Club Admin can register Club members and the event chair can send invitations to club members as well as send reminder e-mails to those members that have yet to accept or decline the invitation. To email members, simply click on your event and click on ‘Email Members by Registration Status’. To e-mail members based on their status (i.e: undecided) an invitation, simply click on ‘Email Invitation to Members by Status’.

Tip of the Week!

This past release, we’ve made many improvements to the ClubRunner service!

Did you know you can now create a drop down list of all your photo albums on your menu bar?

Recently added, this enhancement will allow you to add your photo albums as a menu item. To create a drop down list of all of your photo albums, go to the "Menu Items" section within Website Designer. Click on ‘Add new Menu Item’ and select “Built-in Pages” under Type. A list of options will appear, simply click on Photo Albums and Save!

You can now refresh the data on your Attendance report to display the most recent change!

We’ve added a “Recalculate Button” to the YTD Attendance report which if clicked on, will refresh the data and will display the most recent changes.

The ‘Add Image’ button will now insert the image at cursor instead of at the bottom of the editor.

No longer will you have to drag the image to where you want it to appear. Now, the ‘add image’ button will add the image to where you place the cursor opposed to the bottom of the editor.

New Story Editor (Beta) now available!

Currently in Beta version, this new story editor has many more features than the current editor. From choosing a variety of fonts to using the numerous editing options, this new editor will give you the platform to customize your stories even further. To use the new editor, simply click on the link pointing to the new editor within the current story editor screen. Please note, however, as this editor is still in Beta version, there may be certain features that are visible that may not function yet.

We’d love your feedback on the new editor screen. Your feedback can be emailed to us at feedback@clubrunner.ca.
