Squadlist

For your information, the Squadlist system will be updated this week.

This update clarifies the role squad representatives as well as adding a new contact export feature.

The admin screen currently prompts squad reps with options which they are not able to perform; namely adding new rowers, deleting rowers and adding and deleting squads. This update removes these broken links from squad reps’ admin screens. Clubs who require squad reps to be able to perform these tasks should consider elevating them to full admin users.

The Squad Contacts screen now allows a squad’s contact details (name, email address and phone number if the rower is permitted to see this) to be downloaded as a Group vCard.

A Group vCard is a de facto standard which is supported by Google Mail and the Apple Address Book among others. Some mobile phones also understand this format.

Microsoft Outlook is not known to support this standard; we hope to address Outlook’s specific requirements in the near future. Outlook users may be able to make use of the vCard export by loading their squad contacts into Google Mail and then re-exporting as an Outlook CSV file.

With the started of the new season, we’ve updated this mailing list to include the admins of the copies which appear to be active. A notification message is sent to this list before we make any updates which we could impact on your users. Removal instructions are shown below if you do not which to receive these notifications.
