You can send a general (free-form) SMS in bulk to participants within your organisation from this page. You can send to your entire list, or to a custom list that meets a certain search or filter criteria.

Using a Person Filter

If you have setup one or more Person Filters, you can select a filter from the drop down. This will display all participants who meet the filter conditions. When a filter is selected, other Search Criteria is not shown. To re-display, choose NONE from the Person Filter dropdown list.

Using other Search Criteria

Role selection

• Select a role. The list of sub roles will automatically be populated.
• ANY ROLE means the selection of person records that currently have at least one role assigned.
• NO ROLE means the selection of person records that currently have no role assigned (for example, these might be past players). If NO ROLE is selected, you can optionally select from the Last Sub Role the person held with your organisation.

Sub Role selection

• Choose ANY Sub Role to include records with any sub role within the selected role (i.e. this will include ALL the sub roles).
• Or, choose Select Sub Roles, then select one or more sub roles to only include these sub roles.

For example, to choose SENIOR PLAYERS, select PLAYER in the Role dropdown list, choose Select Sub Roles and select SENIOR.

Person Name

Enter part of the person name to search/filter for. This may be left blank to match all names, and be any number of characters. The search will match both first and last names. Make a selection in the dropdown list relating to whether the name starts with, ends with, or contains the search text.

Date of birth (DOB) range

Optionally enter either one or both of the From DOB and To DOB to search.

For example:

• DOB before a given date - leave From DOB blank, and enter the To DOB. Records with no DOB entered will not be returned.
• DOB after a given date - leave To DOB blank, and enter the From DOB. Records with no DOB entered will not be returned.
• DOB between dates - enter both From DOB and To DOB.
• All DOB - leave From DOB and To DOB as 'none'. In this case, records that have no DOB will also be returned as well as those with a DOB entered.

Gender

Select one or both of M(ale) or F(emale). If neither is selected, gender is ignored, and records will be returned that have a M,F or no gender entered.

Registration

This option only displays on certain sport platforms, and further filters the list to registered players of a selected association, period and type.
