This document covers the Sports Courses application in Back Office, Online Services and Front of House.
1. GETTING STARTED
Sports Courses is enabled by Legend. If you would like to enable Sports Courses for all your sites please log a ticket with
Legend Support.
Sports Courses is accessed through the Legend Back Office application. To log in to Back Office go to
www.legendbackoffice.co.uk and enter your normal Legend username and password.
Once you have logged in to Legend Back Office click the icon to access Sports Courses. You will then be taken to the
Sports Courses home screen, shown below:
When you first log in you will be asked to choose your club, and any information displayed or changes you make will apply
to that club. If you need to change club later you can click the name of the current club in the top right of the screen and
a list of all clubs will be displayed. Click the appropriate club name to change.
In order to see the Sports Courses icon, and the link of the left of the Back Office home screen, you will need the
SC_STARTUP security token ticked for your security group. Further security tokens are detailed below.
Before setting up a new course you must add a new discipline. These are the main categories, things like Swimming,
Trampolining, Karate etc. To add a new discipline click the Add New Discipline option, under Configuration:
You will then be prompted to add the discipline details. All fields in this form are mandatory. If you dont want to activate
your discipline straight away untick the Enabled checkbox you can still configure and add new courses to inactive
disciplines.
Once you have added all your disciplines they will show on the left hand side of the screen, under Configuration, as
shown in the screen shot above.
If you need to change the name of a discipline, click the icon next to the discipline name. Make the change and click
Update.
Once the discipline has been added, click the discipline name to expand the Add New Courses, Add New Term and
Configuration options:
Firstly, you must add Competencies, Levels and Templates. To do this click Configuration:
Competencies are the abilities that course attendees will be assessed on and expected to complete to pass the course
(e.g. a beginners swimming course might have Swim 5 meters as a competency). To add competencies, click
Competencies >> Add New. This will open the Competencies window:
The Short Code, Short Name, Name and Description fields are the various ways of identifying the competency. These are
free text fields, so you can enter anything you like.
The enabled check box indicates whether the competency is active or not. If you would like your competency to be
inactive untick the Enabled option.
Once you have filled in every field click Save Changes and the competency will appear in the competencies list.
Levels group competencies, so you can assess members on a small subset of competencies in Level 1 before moving them
on to Level 2. In a practical example, Level 1 might have competencies such as Enter water safely and Swim forward 5
meters while Level 2 would have more difficult competencies such as Swim 1 length.
To add a new level click Levels >> Add New - note that you will need the security token SC_UPDATELEVELS in order to see
this option. This will open the Levels window:
Enter a Name and Description. If you dont want this level to be active untick the Enabled check box.
All the competencies you created earlier will be shown in the Available box. Select the competencies you want to assess
members on at this level, and move them over to the Chosen box. You can move all competencies by clicking Choose all.
Once you have filled in every field click Save Changes and the level will appear in the levels list.
Once youve created competencies and levels, you can create your course templates. These are pre-definied fields for the
course, so you can quickly and easily add new courses without having to enter the same information every time. If you
have the same course taking place on a different day (e.g. Ducklings on a Monday & Friday night) you do not need to
create new templates for each course, as you can amend the start date, location, instructor and time when scheduling a
new course.
Short Code used for identifying the course when searching, a free text field
Level a dropdown containing a list of all the levels you added earlier
Scope Enterprise/Group/Club level, if you intend to set a specific location you will need to specify a club here
Prerequisite a dropdown containing a list of all the levels you added earlier. If you are adding a template for
Level 2 you may want to set this to Level 1, to ensure members have completed Level 1 before they can book
Level 2
Additional Assessable Competencies a list of all your competencies. You can add extra competencies that the
member can be assessed on as well as the usual level competencies
Course Booking Type choose from Whole Course Only, Whole Course or Remaining Sessions & Remaining
Sessions
Course Inventory Item the inventory item for the whole course
Session Booking Type choose from No per-session booking, Drop-ins allowed & Individual session can be
booked
Session Inventory Item the inventory item for per session bookings (if booking 2 sessions the member will be
charged the inventory price x 2, 1 for each session)
Location if you have selected a club in the Scope field, this will be a list of parent locations at that club; once
youve selected a parent location the sectors for that location will appear, allowing you to choose which sectors
to book in to. You can book the session in to multiple sectors
Please note if you have Legend Custom Client enabled with a keyboard wedge scanner, you will need to close Custom
Client, as the keyboard wedge scanner can prevent you from setting some of the values in this form.
Once you have made all your changes click Save Changes and the template will appear in the templates list.
You have now finished the configuration, and are ready to begin adding new courses and enrolling members.
Tostart scheduling your courses, click Configuration >> Expand the appropriate discipline and then click Add New Course
Once all the information has been entered a session summary will show on the right of the screen. This is a list of all the
current session dates, the instructor and the location. Any conflicts will be highlighted in red:
You can view details of conflicts by clicking the icon, to bring up a screen similar to that shown below:
Extra sessions can be added by clicking Add Session, at the top of the Session Summary. Individual sessions can be
cancelled by clicking the cross icon next to the session. This opens the window shown below:
From here you can either delete the session, or delete and create another session to replace it.
Once you are happy with your course click the Save Course button (there are 2, one at the top of the screen and one at
the bottom). Once saved, the course status will change to Created at the top of the screen:
At this point, the course can be left and you can come back to it later, or you can procede to schedule the course. If you
need to make any changes you can do so by clicking Edit Course.
The next step is to schedule the course, by clicking Schedule Course. This reserves all the resources used by the course,
so they cant be double booked. Note that the course will not be available to book yet.
Once the course is scheduled you can either withdraw the course to cancel it, publish to course to open it to booking, or
edit the course if changes are required:
When youre ready to start booking members in to the course click Publish Course. The course is now ready for
members to enrol.
Note that if you are doing re-enrolments (detailed below) you may want to leave the course in the Scheduled state, so
that re-enrolees can be booked on before the course is opened up for public booking.
To enrol a member immediately after youve created a course, click the Enrol button on the right. If the course has
already been created, search for the course, load the enrolees section (see Searching Courses below) and click Enrol. This
will bring up a search form:
You can search based on any mix of the criteria. If multiple matches are found the members will be shown with their age,
membership number and address, so you can easily differentiate.
If youre shown the missing prerequisites screen you can choose to either choose to Ignore All/Ignore Selected, or assess
the missing prerequisites by clicking Assess All/Assess Selected.
If you choose to assess you will be prompted to select an instructor and choose whether the member passed or did not
pass the requirement. If you choose to ignore you will be prompted to enter an override reason(s.
Once any missing competencies have been addressed you will be prompted to select an enrolment option. The options
you are shown are dependant on the configuration of your course (see Adding Templates & Scheduling a New Course
above).
An example of the email the member will receive is shown below. The email will contain a link to allow the member to
pay off the outstanding amount for this course online. Note that the email text is not configurable by users.
Members can be enroled in Front of House >> Bookings, by clicking the Sports Courses folder icon, selecting the discipline,
and then selecting the level. A list of Todays, Current, Future or all courses will then be displayed, dependant on the
option youve selected at the top:
Select the course you want, search for the member you want to enrol and click Enrol Member. You will be prompted to
select a course enrolment option out of Whole Course, All Future Sessions and Drop In. The options shown will be
dependant on the course set up, the availability of the sessions and whether the course has already begun or not.
