Signups

Add a signup to your pages
A signups widget is included on your homepage by default. Any signups you add will automatically be visible to your users here.
To add a list of signups to any page, add the signups widget to that page (see widgets - quickstart for how to create and add widgets to your pages).

What the users sees
Users viewing a page with signups added will see the main information for each signup, with a button to signup or cancel (if they have previously signed up).
Once a user has signed up, the information is added to their calendar, which they can view via the Account panel. You can also add the personal calendar widget to your page, so that the user sees a copy of their personal calendar on your club pages.

Viewing who has signed up
To see a list of who has signed up, go the the signups admin page. In the table of signups click 'view signups' next to the signup you want to see details for. This displays the ID and name of all people who have signed up.
Signups can be created for anyone; for members of your organisation, or for specific groups within your organisation if you have set them up using the Groups area of your admin pages.
