Web Interface Options

These options can only be edited if you have enabled the Web Interface option on the Web Interface Main Tab.

1 . Enable bookingsEnable bookings


If ticked (Yes) allows your members to make a booking on-line.

 

Selecting 'No' will suppress the Submit Booking form on the web page however you and your members will be able to view your facilities usage / availability via the web site.

2 . Number of daysNumber of days


Select from the spin edit command the number of days (including today) that you wish to display the bookings for on the web site.

 

For example, if you select 8 then a web page will be created and upload for today as well as each of the next 7 days.

3 . Mail check intervalMail check interval


MyCourts automatically downloads email from the mail server. Using the spin control, select the period in minutes between each mail check.

 

Mail checks take approximately 5 seconds to determine if there is any mail and can take a further 1-2 seconds for each email it needs to download. These times are based on an internet connection speed of about 7 megabytes with no other traffic.

 

If set to 5 minutes, if a booking is made immediately after MyCourts has collected the mail, the member will need to wait approximately 6 minutes before a confirming email is sent to them.

 

Please be aware however that some mail servers do not immediately send mail that they receive. They can sometimes store this mail for later delivery when the network is not otherwise congested. Additionally, some mail servers require individual mails to be delivered twice, the first being rejected in an effort to reduce spam. MyCourts has no control over these delays.

4 . Update web intervalUpdate web interval


Using the spin control, you can select the time interval between MyCourts creating and uploading the web pages to your web site.

 

If you leave this at '0', MyCourts will automatically update your website every time there is a booking made for any of your facilities. That includes whenever a booking is received via the web.

 

If you receive frequent bookings, it may be preferable to set this time other than '0'.

 

This setting does not affect your Mail check interval. They are two separate processes.

5 . Force User PasswordsForce User Passwords


If ticked (Yes) then each member will need to have their own password entered into the membership database before MyCourts will record the booking.

 

If set to 'No', the member will need to enter the 'common password'. If there is an empty 'common password' then no password checking will be carried out by MyCourts.

6 . Select FacilitiesSelect Facilities
