Member Home Page Overivew

The Member home page can be a little overwhelming at first. That's because YourCourts is very rich in features that can assist you in managing your day to day reservation activities. The following illustration highlights the key areas of the home page and each is described further in the sections below.

Sidebar Menu

The sidebar menu is located on the left side of the screen and is used as the main navigation to the various pages within YourCourts. The menu options will vary according to your club's preferences and a few other factors but many of the menu options are standard.

The sidebar menu is normally present regardless of which page you're on. However, you can use the icon near the top to collapse the menu if you need more screen space. On smaller devices (e.g. mobile), the menu is collapsed and you must click on an icon to make it visible.

At any time, you can click the Home menu option to return to the home page. Some of the menu options have sub-menus and will expand when you click on them. You can tell which menus have sub-menus as they have an arrow pointing to the right.

At the top of the sidebar menu, there may be several large buttons that are called Quick Actions. These allow you to quickly jump to other parts of the site. The administrator may have configured specific buttons to be visible for your club.

Breadcrumb

YourCourts uses a Breadcrumb Trail at the top of the page as a navigational aid. It allows users to keep track of their locations within YourCourts. The term comes from the trail of bread crumbs left by Hansel and Gretel in the fairy tale of the same name. An example breadcrumb is shown below

The breadcrumb words are web links and can be clicked. This allows you to jump back to an earlier page more quickly. The last word in the trail represents the current page is not not clickable.

Top Menu

The top-menu area is used to display important messages to the user as well as the location where you can edit your member profile information, as well as the logout button. More on logging out of the system is discussed in the Getting Started section.

The member profile allows you to edit your preferences and change your login email and password. You can find more information about editing your member profile here.

Club News

The Club News area is used by club administrators to keep you informed on news and the goings on within the community (e.g. If resources are not available due to rain or maintenance). It's a good idea to read the club news area on each login to the site.

Quick Reservation

If you are in a hurry, the Quick Reservation feature allows you to (as the name implies) to quickly find an available Resource. With the Quick Reservation feature, you can choose how soon you need a resource and how long of a reservation you need. The system will find all of the available resources that fit your search parameters and present you with the the reservation screen. From there, it's as simple as clicking the Reserve button.

If you do not see the Quick Reservation feature on your dashboard, it may be turned off by your club administrator. Check with your club administrator if you don't see it on your dashboard.

View Schedule

When looging into YourCourts, there are several ways to view the court schedule. If you just want to view todays schedule, you can click the Schedule button in the top right, underneath the Top Menu area. This will take you to the schedule and show you today's reservations.

However, if you need to view the schedule for a different day, the quickest way to do that is using the View Scheudule panel. Just click the date field and select the date you are interested in from the drop-down calendar and the schedule will display for that date. From there, you can view reservations for that date or choose a time for a new reservation.

You can also use the naviational menu and click on Reservations and then View Schedule menu options.

Upcoming Events

YourCourts allows clubs to create events (such as clinics, round robin mixers, etc.) and post event information on the member home page. Members can rsvp for the event and even indicate that they are bringing guests. The image below shows an example of a Upcoming Events panel.

You can click on an event that interests you and rsvp.

Whether your club uses the Events module is up to the administrator. You may not see the Events area or any scheduled events.
