My SitesAs soon as you login, you’ll be taken to your “MY SITES” section where you can manage your sites. Click on the link to your site to view the site as a “Manager”. This is also called the “Admin” view. It’s important to note that the Admin view, or your view of the site when you login, is different from the “Public” view, or the way a general person views your site during a browser session. As an admin, you can add, edit or delete any information on the site; public visitors can’t do these things.

Top ButtonsYou are the only one that has access to the silver buttons at the top of the screen; these are private to all people except you. These are “MY SITES”, “PEOPLE & EMAIL”, “FACILITY SCHEDULER”, “SITE INVITES” and “MY USER INFO”.

“PEOPLE & EMAIL” allows you to store contact information for people involved with your athletic department (coaches, officials, etc). You can email people individually or create email groups to send bulk emails.

“SITE INVITES” is where you receive invitations to become an admin of other StadiumRoar websites. If you decide to invite other people to be admins of your site, they will receive a site invite in their own personal “Site Invites” section.

“MY USER INFO” allows you to change your password and other biographical information at any time.

“FACILITY SCHEDULER” allows you to easily manage time-slot schedules at the facilities that are part of your athletic department (fields, courts, gyms, etc).

Start CustomizingOnce you visit your site as an admin, the first thing you’ll want to do is make sure the main contact information, logo, and site colors are customized to your department. You can do this quickly by clicking on the “ADD LOGO” and “CUSTOMIZE YOUR SITE’S COLORS” links in the upper left corner, and the “ADD CONTACT INFO” link in the black scoreboard area.

3) Announcements. Keep your participants up-to-date with department announcements. Just click the green “UPDATE” button to post an announcement; you can post as many announcements as you’d like, and even attach files to your announcements (Word documents, etc). The announcements will be automatically emailed to participants who register on your site using the “REGISTRATION TOOL”.

1) Management. You can add managers to your site at any time and make them “Admins” just like you. They’ll be able to add, edit and delete information, just like you can. It is recommended you add department assistants and colleagues here.

2) Description. Give your site a brief description which tells the public what your department and your new site are all about. This is a great place to add instructions about how you want visitors to use your site (ex: which buttons to click for certain material).

7

The “Registration Tool” lets you set up online registration for your athletic department. Conduct online registration for all types of programs and events your department is in charge of. The “Registration Info” button allows you to see who has registered for your programs.

“General” is your section to post any sort of general information related to your department. You can write freely about topics of interest to your department.

“News” is your section to post articles about your department (ex: game write ups, player spotlights or news from within your league). As admin, you can decide whether site admins have exclusive rights to posting news or if all website visitors can post news (team parents, local reporters, etc).

“Programs” is your section to add the programs and events that are related to your department; for example, teams, leagues, camps, tournaments, associations, meetings, fundraisers, etc . For each entry, you can include names, short descriptions, contact info and website links.

“Bios” is your section to add names, photos and bios of players, coaches and directors in your department. You can add names, background information and even photos of each person.

“Addresses” is your section to add the names, addresses and directions for all game, practice and event locations that pertain to your department. You can also include links to Mapquest, Google Maps, or other sites that help with driving directions. 11

Facility Scheduling – Part 1To start facility scheduling, click the silver flag at the top of the screen. Only admins have access to the buttons at the top of the screen. Facility Scheduling is an easy way to manage time slots for every playing location (“LOCATIONS”) and team (“PROGRAMS”) that are involved in your department. You simply (1) add all of your playing locations, (2) add your teams, and (3) book time slots for teams at each location.

To receive online requests, click the “Location Requests” button and follow the simple steps to receive requests online.

Photos/Videos

“Photos/Videos” is the media center for your department. Here you can upload all the photos you’ve taken and videos you’ve recorded. People can view your photos and videos at any time, and even post comments on them. You can of course turn off commenting at any time by clicking the “Disable Comments” button.

CalendarYour department calendar allows you to share your department’s day-to-day activities. Here you can post game match-ups, like “Team 1 vs Team 2 on May 3”, recurring events like practices every Tuesday at 8pm and single events like a tournament or team trip. Your calendar can be viewed in two ways –the first, “traditional view”, is shown below. The second is the “list view”, and shows all events in a chronological list. Each view can be printed by site visitors with just a click.
