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 program (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 your program plays at (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 association. 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.

The Home Screen

3) Announcements. Keep your officials up-to-date with association 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 association assistants and colleagues here.

2) Description. Give your site a brief description which tells the public what your association 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 association. Use the “Enter Programs” button to enter the different programs your association officiates. Officials can then visit your site and register for your association; you can receive their contact information and see which programs they want to officiate.

Basic Information Buttons

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

“News” is your section to post articles about your association.

“Programs” is your section to add the programs and events that are related to your association; for example, leagues, tournaments, camps, 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 people involved in your association. This is a great place to feature the association’s staff and its officials. You can add names, background information and even photos of each person.

“Addresses” is your section to add the names, addresses and directions for the various playing locations your association officiates at. You can also include links to Mapquest, Google Maps, or other sites that help with driving directions.

11

Discussions“Discussions” allows anyone to create a topic and talk about that topic with other website visitors; this section works just like any website forum. If you ever want to disable “Discussions”, you can check a box at the bottom of the page and turn off the conversation.

12

Forms“Forms” allows you to post all of the important paperwork that you need filled out, signed or read by officials. You can upload any sort of file in this section (Word documents, Excel documents, PDF documents, etc). Website visitors can download these documents with just a click.

13

Photos/Videos“Photos/Videos” is the media center for your association. Here you can upload any photos or videos featuring your officials. 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 at the bottom of the page.

14

CalendarYour calendar allows you to share your association’s day-to-day activities. Here you can post game match-ups and assigned officials, like “Team 1 vs Team 2 on May 3 – Referee is Mike Adams”. 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.
