Manage courts

List, edit, or delete a court

Find your courts, edit them or remove them from a sport

All courts are managed from a single list. The same court can be used by several sport-seasons (for example the current season and the next one): it then appears only once, with the list of sport-seasons that use it.

1

Show the list of courts

In the left side menu, open Sport then click Manage courts. The list shows the courts of the sports open on the date in the date picker, at the top of the screen: change this date to see the courts of another season.

A court used by two seasons shows two badges in the "Used by" column

  • Used by: the sport-seasons that use the court.
  • Hours: the opening and closing time, or "Depends on the day" if the opening hours vary from day to day.
  • Visibility: "All" if the court is visible everywhere to everyone, otherwise the chosen conditions, or "Hidden".

To change the order of courts in the schedules, drag the rows using the handle on the left. The order is set within each sport-season and is saved immediately.

Edit a court

Click the pencil icon on the row. The Edit court contains the same sections as when creating (court, opening hours, visibility and court groups) plus two more: Booking start times (members) (step 3) and, if other courts can be linked to it, Hybrid court (shared surface) (step 4).

The edit panel of a court shared by two seasons

If the court is shared, the Court shared by several seasons box reminds you of it: the name, opening hours, visibility and image apply to all these seasons. Court groups, however, are specific to each sport-season: choose the sport-season in the Groups for this sport-season list before editing its groups.

Click Save to confirm.

Set booking start times

The Booking start times (members) section of the edit panel sets the times at which a member can start a booking on this court, for example only on the hour in the morning and on the half hour in the afternoon. Without a rule, members can start in any free slot.

  1. Click Add a rule.
  2. Tick the days concerned, then enter the rule's time range (From … to …).
  3. In Starts every, choose the interval between two starts (15 to 180 minutes), then the time of the first start in from.
  4. Add more rules if needed (for example one for weekdays and one for the weekend), then click Save.

At the weekend, starts every 120 minutes from 10:00; the other days remain free

The Preview: start times allowed for members box shows, day by day, the allowed times (in blue) and the forbidden times (struck through in grey), calculated from the schedule grid and the court's opening hours.

  • Outside any rule (other days, other times), start times remain free.
  • In the members' schedule, slots whose start time is not allowed cannot be clicked, but a booking that started earlier can cover them.
  • An existing booking that already starts at a forbidden time can still be changed by its holder.
  • The administration is never blocked: in the day's schedule, these slots only have a small grey corner (“Start time not allowed for members (court setting)”).
  • The setting is shared by all seasons that use this court.

Link courts that share the same surface

Some courts occupy the same surface, for example a tennis court on which four pickleball courts are marked out. The Hybrid court (shared surface) section of the edit panel lets you link them, even if they belong to another sport.

Choose the courts located on the same surface

In Courts on the same surface, add the courts concerned ("None — independent court" if the court is not linked to any other). As soon as one of them is booked, the others are automatically blocked at the same times, including bookings, recurrences, fixed hours and lessons. In the list, a badge shows which courts the surface is shared with.

Exception: when you create a recurrence or a lesson group on a linked court, the Also block the linked courts option appears (on by default). Turn it off if this activity leaves the other courts free: the recurrence or lesson then only occupies its own court. See the article Manage recurrences.

After saving, a banner shows the number of slots blocked on the linked courts. If bookings already existed at the same time on two linked courts, they are listed: nothing is deleted; move or cancel one of the two if necessary.

5

Delete a court

Click the trash icon on the row and confirm. If the court is used by several sport-seasons, Plugin.ch asks you which sport to remove it from: the court is only removed from that sport-season and remains available in the others.

Remove a shared court from a single sport-season

Warning: before removing a court, check that no future booking is planned on it. To close a court temporarily (works, tournament), do not delete it: close it instead. See the article Close courts.
