Please take a few minutes to read through this getting started guide, which provides an overview of the core features of ResultsVault and aims to help new users familiarise themselves with the software and complete some key tasks.
Once logged into ResultsVault, detailed help files are also found on each screen, specifically for that task.
A Welcome email is sent to all new users containing a Login ID and Password with a link to the Administration page.
Navigating ResultVault is performed via a series of menus organised into a set of 4 task-specific modes.
Mode | Description | Top Level Menus |
Organisation | Organisation contacts and office bearers and details, Member Signup, Account Management and User Maintenance. | Organisation, Webstore, People, Members, Users, Help. |
Competition Management | All competition management functions including grade and fixture management, ladders, umpire management, reports, etc. | Competition, People, Players, Umpires/Referees, Communications, Reports, Help |
Competition Participation | This mode is used by Associations that manage teams that participate in competitions run by another organisation (Eg: Representative teams) Functions include team selection, match results / player score entry and registering players to a governing body | Matches, Teams, People, Members, Players, Communications, Configuration, Help |
Website (SportzVault) | Only available to organisations with a SportzVault website this mode is for managing online content. | Content, Site, Webstore, SportzVault Options, Help |
As a starting point we suggest a change of password to something more memorable. To do this navigate to
MODE: Organisation MENU: Users -> My Account -> Change Password
The new password must be at least 6 characters long and should ideally contains a mixture of numbers, capital and lower case letters (other forms of punctuation are also acceptable).
Now that that is taken care of the real work can begin. ResultVault offers a Competition Setup Wizard and we recommended starting there.
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Competition -> Setup Wizard
Each step can be performed via the standard ResultsVault menus, navigation directions and a brief description are provided for each below the following screen.
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Competition -> Competition Settings
The most important action to perform here is to set the current season for the Association and its affiliates. Other tasks that can be performed here include managing the past Season List, Player Registration and Clearance setup and Result type configuration.
MODE: Organisation MENU: Users -> User List
Additional users can be created to assist with admin tasks. The level of access a user has is determined by the User Roles assigned to them.
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Competition -> Venues -> Manage Venues
The definition of a Venue in ResultsVault is quite broad and can range from an individual court to a multi-field park. A good rule of thumb is to create a single venue for each specific location that a match can be played.
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Competition -> Ladders -> Maintain Ladder Point Schemes
Point values are assigned Result Types and Match events and ladders are automatically calculated overnight after results have been entered.
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Competition -> Ladders -> Maintain Ladder Display Schemes
The way the ladder is displayed and the method for calculating percentage is set here.
This option will vary depending on the team mode selected but in both cases it refers to managing the teams that will be competing in competitions.
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Competition -> Teams and Affiliates -> Child Organisations (affiliates)
This page allows you to set up contacts for each of your member organisations as well as create club administrator user ids or perform admin tasks on behalf of clubs (If you want to. But seriously, who would want to?).
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Competition -> Teams and Affiliates -> Maintain Entity Teams
This page allows associations to create their own independent teams, with no club affiliation required.
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Competition -> Grades -> Maintain Grades Teams and Ladders... Grade Management
Create the grades that will be open for competition in the current season. Data from previous seasons can be rolled over when a new season begins.
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Competition -> Grades -> Maintain Grades Teams and Ladders... Allocate Teams
Allocate teams into grades. Other grade configuration options are applied at this step including Ladder point and Display schemes. Navigating to the team settings tab allows for more in depth team configuration such as default (home) venues and starting times and Fixture display and Media report names.
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Competition -> Draws -> Create Draw
Create the fixtures
When a person is added to the database a new person record will be created. Each active record must be assigned on of the following roles: Player, Umpire / Referee, Team Official, Office Bearer, Contact or Subscriber. Multiple Roles are allowed and sub roles help to further define records. New records can be individually entered or uploaded in bulk (with a defined, downloadable template) from a spreadsheet.
MODE: Competition Management / Competition Participation / Organisation MENU: People -> Add New Person
Player management is primarily completed by Clubs, however Associations can access player reports via Competition Management mode and the players menu. Tasks can include player registration, suspensions, transfers and clearances.
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Players
Match officials can be assigned to matches manually or via an automated process. The automated process requires
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Umpires > Umpire Allocation Setup / Referees > Referee Allocation Setup
Many features are available in this management area, they can be assigned to panels and regions, and communicated with by SMS or email.
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Umpires > Umpire Allocation / Referees > Referee Allocation
Plus you can generate 'health reports' to ensure equitable workloads, double-ups or matches without officials.
MODE: Competition Management MENU: Umpires > Umpire Allocation Reports / Referees > Referee Allocation Reports
Each page on ResultsVault has a detailed help file, specific to that task, which will guide you through each step – click on the <help on this topic>.
