If your organization uses TeamSideline for its schedules, website and communications but doesn't take registrations online, start with the four training pages below, in this order. If your site takes registrations too, use New Admin Training for Site with Registration instead.
Applies to: New admins · All plans · Scheduling-only sites (no registration programs)
Where: The training pages linked below; more videos under Help > Online Training in the admin side menu
Training pages, in order
- New admin training: how to sign in and navigate Home and the side menu: sign in on your organization's Admin Sign In page and find your way around Home and the side menu.
- New Admin Training - Scheduling: set up locations, leagues, divisions and schedules: add your locations, leagues, divisions and teams, then build game, practice and playoff schedules, with a video or an article for each step.
- Your website. If your Content menu has Page Edit, watch Training videos for editing your website (Legacy content editor). If it has Site Editor, your site uses Editor 2.0: start with CMS: Introduction to Editor 2.0. Not sure which you have? See CMS: Which website editor do I have? Legacy Content vs. Editor 2.0.
- New Admin Training - Communications: email blasts, templates, BCC, text opt-in and contact lists: short videos on email blasts, texts and getting members to opt in to them, communication templates, custom contact lists, and copying an admin on every email.
Leagues and teams on a scheduling-only site
With no registration programs, nothing creates your leagues or teams for you. Add each league on Schedules > Leagues & Divisions with Add League. Add the teams yourself on each division's 2 Teams page (Add Team, or Add Placeholders when you don't have the names yet), or load them with the Team Import on Administration > Import Data. The Roster Import then loads players and coaches onto those teams' rosters.
If you start taking registrations
Online registration comes with every current plan. When you're ready, work through New Admin Training for Site with Registration. If Programs isn't in your side menu, contact TeamSideline Support.
If it doesn't work
- A page from the training isn't in your side menu. Your plan or your admin role doesn't include it. Ask an admin who manages users to check your role, or contact support@teamsideline.com about adding a feature to your plan.
- The website videos don't match your Content menu. Your site uses the other editor. Check which one in CMS: Which website editor do I have? Legacy Content vs. Editor 2.0.
Getting help
- Our Support Team can help if you get stuck: email support@teamsideline.com, or click Help > Contact Support in the admin side menu. If our support process doesn't meet your needs, ask support to escalate your question to your onboarding manager. Feedback on this training is welcome at the same address.
- More short training videos are under Help > Online Training.
