# Club settings, tab by tab

> The tabs of Settings, what each is for, who can change it, which Save button keeps it, and the article that explains each tab.

Who this is for: Anyone with “Club settings” or “Function rooms, prices and terms” or “Run classes” or “Dynamic tag rules” or “Wording of text messages” or “Run competitions” (by default: Administrator, Head Coach, Sports Convener, Functions).

Admin > Settings holds the club's set-up, in thirteen tabs. Each person sees only the tabs they may change. This page says what each tab is for and links to the article that explains its settings, what each starts at and what it changes. To set a new club up in order, see [Set up Sports Club OS for your club: the steps in order](https://sportsclubos.net/help/setup/overview/index.md).

## Who sees which tabs

| Tabs | Who can change them by default |
|---|---|
| Club, Booking rules, Sports & courts, Membership types, Price list, Invoice reminders, Tags & fields, Communications, Reports | The Administrator |
| The wording of text messages to staff, at the foot of Communications | The Administrator alone |
| Functions | The Administrator and the Functions role |
| Classes | The Administrator and the Head Coach |
| Tag rules | The Administrator |
| Scoring | The Administrator and the Sports Convener |

Your club can change who holds each of these on Roles & permissions, except the wording of text messages, which stays with the Administrator. Someone who may change only one tab (the Functions role, for example) sees only that tab.

## Saving

The tabs do not all save the same way:

- **Club**, **Booking rules**, the **Sports** part of Sports & courts, **Invoice reminders** and **Tags & fields** share the **Save settings** button at the top right. **Unsaved changes** shows beside it until you press it, and your browser asks before you leave the page with changes not saved.
- Courts and tables, membership types and price list items each open in a side panel with its own **Save** and **Delete**. A message says **Saved** or **Deleted**.
- **Communications** has **Save communications settings**, and the text messages have **Save text message wording**.
- **Reports** has **Save report settings**.
- **Functions** has its own **Save changes**.
- **Classes** saves each change as it is made.
- **Tag rules** saves each rule with its own **Save**.
- **Scoring** saves each change as it is made.

## Club

The club's name, ABN, contact details and address, which go on invoices, receipts and emails. The same tab holds how invoices are numbered and paid, how far ahead renewals are looked for and raised automatically, the membership year's rules for people who join part-way through, and how names show on the court boards on the club's TVs. See [Enter your club's details](https://sportsclubos.net/help/setup/club-details/index.md), [Set up invoices, renewals and auto renew](https://sportsclubos.net/help/setup/invoices-and-renewals/index.md) and [The court board in the foyer](https://sportsclubos.net/help/bookings/wallboard/index.md).

## Booking rules

The rules for bookings members make online: how far ahead, how long, how many a week, the cancellation cut-off, guest fees and peak times. The office can book outside them. See [Booking rules, sports and courts](https://sportsclubos.net/help/bookings/booking-rules/index.md).

## Sports & courts

One row for each sport with its hours and calendar grid, and the courts and tables that belong to each. See [Booking rules, sports and courts](https://sportsclubos.net/help/bookings/booking-rules/index.md) and [Set up courts, tables and booking rules](https://sportsclubos.net/help/setup/courts-and-rules/index.md).

## Membership types

Each kind of membership the club offers, with its fees, GST, when it renews, the sports it covers, its booking limits and whether it can be paid monthly. See [Membership types and the membership year](https://sportsclubos.net/help/membership/types-and-the-year/index.md) and [Set up membership types and fees](https://sportsclubos.net/help/setup/membership-types/index.md).

## Price list

The items that go on invoices, with their prices, GST and the income they count as in reports. The list shows each price including GST. See [Set up the price list](https://sportsclubos.net/help/setup/price-list/index.md).

## Invoice reminders

When each reminder about an unpaid invoice falls, and what it says: up to six. Sports Club OS does not send them yet, and the tab says so. See [The reminder schedule (reminders are not sent yet)](https://sportsclubos.net/help/invoices/reminder-schedule/index.md).

## Tags & fields

The club's list of member tags, and the extra fields the club records on every member, such as a locker number. Taking a tag off the list does not take it off anyone who has it. See [Tag members](https://sportsclubos.net/help/members/tags/index.md).

## Communications

The kinds of email members choose from, where replies go, and, for the Administrator alone, the words of the texts Sports Club OS sends staff about their shifts. See [Change email categories, the reply-to address and staff text wording](https://sportsclubos.net/help/communications/settings/index.md) and [Set up email categories and how members choose them](https://sportsclubos.net/help/setup/email/index.md).

## Reports

What "this year" means in reports and widgets, the smallest group shown to someone who cannot see the member list, the reasons offered when someone leaves, and the AI Report Assistant's limits. See [Change the reports settings](https://sportsclubos.net/help/reports/settings/index.md).

## Functions

Function rooms, the items and packages on a quote, deposit and hold rules, and the terms a hirer accepts. See [Function settings: rooms, items, packages, rules and terms](https://sportsclubos.net/help/functions/settings/index.md) and [Set up function rooms, items, packages and terms](https://sportsclubos.net/help/setup/functions/index.md).

## Classes

How classes treat a waitlist, late cancels, make-up credits, terms and visitors. See [Classes settings](https://sportsclubos.net/help/classes/settings/index.md) and [Set up classes and coaching](https://sportsclubos.net/help/setup/classes/index.md).

## Tag rules

Rules that tag members automatically while their conditions hold. See [Make a tag rule](https://sportsclubos.net/help/members/make-a-tag-rule/index.md) and [How tag rules work](https://sportsclubos.net/help/members/how-tag-rules-work/index.md).

## Scoring

How matches in each sport are scored: a section each for squash, tennis, padel, pickleball and badminton, with whether the sport is offered for a new competition, its built-in rules, the older and local rules the club offers as options, and the club's default for a new competition. See [Choose the club's scoring rules](https://sportsclubos.net/help/competitions/scoring-settings/index.md).

## Settings that are elsewhere

- **GST codes and whether prices are entered including GST** are on Finance > GST and prices, not here. See [How GST is worked out, and how prices are entered](https://sportsclubos.net/help/finance/gst/index.md).
- **The till's settings** are on POS > POS settings. See [POS settings, tab by tab](https://sportsclubos.net/help/pos/settings/index.md).
