INTRODUCTION
Feature Summary: The Settings tab in CourtReserve Pulse gives administrators control over what appears on the dashboard. You can hide entire tabs from the Pulse navigation and independently control which KPI cards are visible within each tab. These settings let you tailor Pulse to reflect how your club actually operates, keeping the dashboard focused on the metrics that matter most to your setup.
Use Cases:
Hide the Instructors tab entirely if your club does not have teaching staff
Hide individual KPIs that are not relevant to your club's current reporting needs
Hide the Home tab if your club prefers to land directly on a specific tab, such as Financials
Simplify the dashboard for clubs that only want to focus on a subset of metrics
Search for a specific KPI by name instead of expanding every tab group
OVERVIEW
The Settings tab lists all six Pulse dashboard tabs (Home, Financials, Utilization, Engagement, Demographics, and Instructors) as individual groups on a single page.
Each group shows:
The tab name and a count of visible KPIs out of the total available (for example, Financials 2/5 means two of five Financials KPIs are currently shown)
A short description of what the toggle controls
A toggle on the right, which controls whether that tab appears in the Pulse navigation bar
An expand arrow on the left, which reveals the individual KPI toggles within that tab
Note: The Settings tab controls which tabs and KPIs are available on the Pulse dashboard for your entire club. All full admins can see the Pulse dashboard.
For sub-admins, access is controlled by a set of per-user permissions. When the master permission is enabled, the Pulse link appears in the sub-admin's left navigation menu. When disabled, it does not appear. These settings are off by default for all sub-admins. Tab-level permissions let you control which specific tabs a sub-admin can see. A sub-admin only sees the tabs checked for their account, in addition to any tab visibility settings configured on the Settings tab.
Navigation
Log in to your CourtReserve admin panel.
In the left navigation menu, select Pulse.
Select the Settings tab.
Tab Visibility
Each tab group has a toggle on the right that controls whether that tab appears in the Pulse navigation bar for all users.
Toggling a tab off removes it from the navigation bar entirely.
Toggling it back on restores it to the navigation bar immediately.
For example: A club with no teaching staff or private lesson offerings can toggle off Instructors so the tab no longer appears in the navigation bar for any admin or sub-admin.
Examples of When to Turn a Tab Off
Instructors — The most common tab to hide. If your club does not have teaching staff, does not offer private lessons, and does not use the instructor scheduling features in CourtReserve, the Instructors tab will show little to no data. Hiding it keeps the dashboard focused on the areas that actually reflect your club's operations. Example shown here:
Demographics — Some smaller clubs or newer CourtReserve accounts may not yet have enough player data to make the Demographics tab meaningful. Hiding it temporarily until your player base grows is a reasonable choice.
Utilization — Clubs that operate primarily as membership-only facilities with no open court reservation system may find court utilization metrics less actionable. Hiding this tab keeps the focus on membership and engagement data instead.
For example: A recreational club with 50 members, no paid instructors, and a single court may choose to enable only Financials and Engagement — keeping the dashboard tightly focused on revenue and member activity, the two metrics most relevant to how they operate day-to-day.
KPI Visibility by Tab
Click the expand arrow next to any tab group to reveal its individual KPI card toggles. Turning a KPI off removes its card from that tab's dashboard view without affecting the tab's visibility in the navigation. In this example, rather than all five Financial KPI cards to display, the system user chose to only display Gross Sales and Total Payment Volume.
Example:
Examples of When to Hide Individual KPI Metrics
Hiding individual metrics is useful when a specific KPI is not actionable or meaningful for your club's setup, even if the rest of the tab is relevant.
Outstanding Invoices — If your club does not use membership billing or recurring invoicing, this metric will always show $0 and adds no value. Hiding it keeps the Financials tab cleaner.
Median Rating — If the majority of your players do not ratings, the Median Rating card reflects a small and potentially unrepresentative sample. Hiding it until your rating coverage improves keeps the Demographics KPI row focused on more complete data.
Member Growth Rate — Very small clubs with a stable, long-term membership base may find this metric less useful on a month-to-month basis. Hiding it reduces noise on the Engagement tab for clubs where membership count rarely changes.
For example: A club that hides Outstanding Balances, Revenue per Available Hour, and Median DUPR would show "23 of 26 metrics visible" in the Dashboard Metrics Visibility header — a quick indicator that the dashboard has been customized without fully auditing every setting.
Search KPIs
A search bar at the top of the page lets you find a specific KPI by name across all tab groups without expanding each one individually.
