New Event Dashboard
______________________________________________

We are excited to launch the all-new, reimagined Event Dashboard! This new design allows you to easily navigate and view your event, and any round, in a single, easy-to-use area.
​
The pages and tiles are organized to display the useful information you need and allow quick access to the related features.
​
​Event Overview
​
In the screenshot below, you can easily see how many players have registered for the event, what courses are used, what tournaments are created, email and text communications, and more.

​Round Overview

In the example below, you can see that pairings have been created, tournaments have been set up, the Pre-Play Audit has passed, and the Handicap Analysis is accessible.

We hope you enjoy this new Event Dashboard as we continue to enhance the usability of our products.
​

​Split Payments for Teams
______________________________________________

The new Split Payments feature allows the registrant to split registration fees among other players.
​
In the example below, Troy is choosing to have his partner, Mark, pay his own registration fee. An email will be sent to Mark and he will be able to complete his portion of the transaction by clicking on his unique payment link in the email.
​
A team is considered registered when at least one of the players on the team has paid their portion of the registration fee.
​

For full details, refer to our Knowledge Base article.

​Player Names in Marker's Notes
______________________________________________

Before today's release, player names in the Marker's Notes were only available for player-based scorecards. We are now including player names in the Marker's Notes for team-based scorecards.
​

Report Composer Enhancements
______________________________________________
​
​New Alignment Tools

​Page Composer Preview
​
We have added a preview area to the Page Composer, allowing you to easily preview the report without the need to fully generate and print it.
​
​Report Suggestions
​
When creating a new report, we have added a feature that will suggest Community Reports based on the report name you input. This will save you time and effort by allowing you to choose an existing Community Report and editing it to fit your needs.
​

​Registration Improvements
______________________________________________

Registration Center

As part of our ongoing focus to improve usability, today we are launching the new Registration Center. The Registration Center consolidates all of the event registration options and features into one easy-to-use area.
​

Default Event Registration Settings

Now available in the Customer Center is the ability to set up Default Event Registration settings. This allows you to easily apply registration settings to new events, saving you time and effort.

​

​Additional Registration Enhancements

​Master Roster Sync Filtering
______________________________________________

For customers who utilize Master Roster synchronization, we are adding the ability to set filters on the incoming roster of players. In the example below, we can only bring over Male members, or only golf members and not social/tennis/dining members.
​
This feature is available to customers using Master Roster Sync integrations with Clubessential, Jonas, MembersFirst, and Lightspeed, as well as any club system utilizing our Generalized Master Roster Sync function (i.e. Cybergolf, GGGolf, Golf Web Design, or Vertical Nerve).
​

Report Composer Enhancements
______________________________________________

We are committed to improving ease of use throughout Golf Genius Tournament Management. With today's release, we are introducing the following usability improvements around the Report Composer.
​
​Grouping Objects - We have added the Group objects functionality, which introduces a new action button on the left side of the design page. Select multiple objects, click the Group button, and actions performed will be applied to the group instead of one individual object.

​Page Numbers & Print Date/Time - We have added three new fields in the Report Header and Report Footer areas, as shown in the page footer below:

​Keyboard Shortcuts - The keyboard shortcuts described below have been added to the Report Composer design area:

These shortcuts are also available in the Page Composer and Scorecard Composer. Check out this helpful Tips & Shortcuts article to learn more!

Additional Report Composer Enhancements

​Teams within Teams Competition
______________________________________________

With today's release, we have added a new competition option for the best team players scoring method (known as college golf). You can now choose the best pair or foursome scores within a larger team. This is commonly referred to as teams within a team or best team sides.
​
For example, teams of 8 players are playing Stroke Play Foursomes (alternate shot) as four pairs, as shown on the leaderboard below. In this competition, we are taking the best 2 Gross Foursomes scores (+8 and +13) and aggregating them with the best Net Foursomes score (+6), while throwing out the remaining score. This gives the team an aggregate score of +27 to par.
​
This has been a very highly requested feature and we are happy to bring this new way to score a competition into the product.
​

For full details, refer to our Knowledge Base article.
​

Resend Failed Emails
______________________________________________

A new link has been added to the Actions area of the Sent Emails page in the Email Center, named “Resend Failed Emails”. This link will be displayed if there was at least one error reported when delivering the emails to players. After correcting the issue (e.g. incorrect email address), you can click the Resend Failed Emails link to resend the failed email(s).
​

Automatic Handicap Index Update
______________________________________________

With the introduction of daily Handicap Index revisions, it has become even more important for managers to keep the Handicap Index in the Master Roster up-to-date. Understanding this, we have launched a new feature enabling managers to automatically update the Master Roster daily with the new handicap revisions from GHIN.
​
To turn on automatic updating of the Handicap Index from GHIN, navigate to Customer Settings > Default Settings > Handicap Settings > Handicap Index Service and select the option. A manager may also adjust the time the update occurs, but we recommend the default of 3:00 AM local time.
​

For full details, refer to our Knowledge Base article.
​

Rounds Without Pairings
______________________________________________

Events and leagues typically include rounds with pairings and a tee sheet. However, there may be scenarios where pairings are not needed. This is often the case when a club implements the “play when you can” approach and lets players come to the course to play whenever they’d like during the day.
​
We have launched functionality to assist in the setup and execution of this type of round by:

​

Transfer Paid Event Registration
______________________________________________

In some cases, a player or team that has registered for an event may need to cancel their registration, but instead of being refunded, they would rather transfer their registration and payment to another upcoming event. To accommodate this scenario, we are introducing the ability to transfer registration from one event to another (without triggering transaction fees). This feature takes into account many factors when transferring a player or team, including:

​GHIN Update for Large Player Rosters
______________________________________________

Before this release, when updating the Handicap Indexes from GHIN for a player roster larger than 1,000 players, the update would take a very long time to complete. This has been greatly improved and very large player rosters will now update at a much faster pace. You will now be taken to a progress page, but may navigate away from it to perform other tasks while the update finishes.
