The first time you login to Club Vote Count after you’ve activated your new account your “Dashboard” will display getting started instructions.<\/p>\n
The first thing to do is record some details about your Club or Association (your Organisation).<\/p>\n
The easiest way to do this is to simply click the “Get Started” button in the bottom right corner of the screen.<\/p>\n
The “Get Started” button (or the “setup your first Organisation” link) will take you to the “My Organisation” screen which will naturally be empty at this point.<\/p>\n
Just click on “Add New Organisation” (top right) and you’re away.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t worry too much, you can always go back and change any of this information later if necessary.<\/p>\n
A few tips on setting up your Organisation<\/strong><\/span>:<\/p>\n Club or Association is important as it affects fixture set up. (Associations will need to record participating club names as well)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Sections are the \u201cGrades\u201d or \u201cDivisions\u201d within your organisation.<\/p>\n Add all the sections that your award(s) cover. There\u2019s no extra cost for counting multiple awards.<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t matter at this point if you have one award per section, or one award to cover all sections, just enter the sections your club or organisation has.<\/p>\n Football clubs may want to record just one section for a vote count (eg Senior Men), or all sections for multiple counts (Senior and Reserve Men, Senior and Reserve Women, Under 18s, Under 16s etc.).<\/p>\n Later, when setting up the Awards you will set which \u201csection(s)\u201d the award covers.<\/p>\n That way, when you start a vote count CVC knows which sections’ fixtures load and you just enter the votes.<\/li>\n Get started by recording your Organisation’s details (and upload a logo!)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Record the Awards, stating how many votes you count. At this stage we cater for ranked votes – so 3,2,1 or 5,4,3,2,1 etc. Enter your player names (and there\u2019s a straight forwards import process available from common file formats so this needed take long at all).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Enter your Fixtures for the Season on the\u00a0 easy one screen entry.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Now you\u2019re ready to count the votes. Live or Precounted, you step through the rounds, showing a leaderboard whenever you like along the way.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also help screens that go into heaps more detail than this and videos that show examples of these screens\u2026.<\/p>\n Detailed Organisation Set Up<\/a><\/p>\n\n
