The Templates menu allows you to store regularly used components of your Event setup, like Questions that you often need Competitors to respond to when registering & Extra Charges that you offer on a regular basis. So instead of creating the same set of components each time you create a new Event you can create them once as a Template and then choose to use them or not when setting up each of your Events.
Additionally, many Clubs and Organisations have Sponsors that they regularly use, these can also be setup once and then used, or not, for future Events.
Extra Charges
To setup Extra Charges select Extra Charges from the Templates menu.
This will open the Manage Extra Charges screen as seen below.
Setting up an Extra Charges Template is identical to setting of regular Extra Charges for a single Event.
Extra Charges are essentially categories. Each category has one or more Sub Charges. For example there may be a Extra Charge category called “Stabling”. Stabling may then have a number of Sub Charges like “Stable Rental”, “Feed”, “Blankets” etc. Each of these Sub Charges can have an actual cost assigned against them.
To create an Extra Charge category click on Create an Extra Charge.
In the screen that appears complete all the fields as follows:
1. Enter a Name for the Extra Charges category.
