Parameters (Setup) (SK EC)

This program sets up and maintains the information and images that will be displayed in the Sports Fixtures & Results portal.

Refer to How To Set Up the Sports Fixtures and Results Portal for more information.

This is the first setup step required in the Staff Kiosk after the sports have been created in the TASS.web Extra Curricular module.

Fields that require further explanation

Activity Type

In this field, you need to enter an 'Activity Type' that relates to sports played against other schools.

'Activity Types' are setup in TASS.web program Student Admin > Extra Curricular > Setup Information > Extra Curricular Setup on the 'Activity Types' tab.

This 'Activity Type' field cannot be changed after the initial setup. Refer to Can I change the Activity Type linked to the Sports Fixtures & Results portal? for more information.

You can edit the 'Activity Type Description' in TASS.web program Student Admin > Extra Curricular > Setup Information > Extra Curricular Setup > 'Activity Types' tab.

Wet Weather Notification

This field will indicate whether the Wet Weather symbol will be displayed in the Sports Fixtures & Results portal.

Visitors to the portal will see an image of an umbrella when this has been activated. They can then drill down on the 'Click here to see Wet Weather Information for the current round of Fixtures' link.

This will take them to the file that you attach using the next field.

Wet Weather Notice

Use the 'Browse' button to locate the file that you want to attach as the wet weather notification. This will be displayed in the Sports Fixtures & Results portal when the Wet Weather link is activated (by ticking the 'Wet Weather Notification' above).

Once this has been saved, a 'Paperclip' icon will indicate that there is an attachment. You can click on this to check the attachment.

The attachment can be deleted by ticking the 'Delete Attachment' box.

This could be a document that you have prepared detailing postponements, cancellations or alternative venues. Because the school controls this document, you can, therefore, use it as a means to notify parents and students of wet weather arrangements for an individual round.
