Update 1st November 2024 (beta Release 2.19s
A significant change has been made to improve member status records in the Attendance Module
Any status changes can now be made through the Member Detail Record. The Status can be changed to a specific date rather than Month. You can also view the dates/status of earlier entries to give a complete history for a Member. If necessary, you can also view update the dates/status of earlier entries and, if within current period, will be reflected in any session database fees.
On first using this version, the new status database will be built using existing information. It may be necessary to make some adjustments
Update 17th February 2022
A number of changes have been made to improve reconciliation of the Attendance Module
- Correction to show players with Nil Balance as Nil
- Any changes to the details in the Membership database payment related statuses only apply for the current period.
- To change any status for just one month, from the Player Tab, click on the player and adjust and Save there.
Update 11th May 2021
These further changes are mainly to the databases and underlying software to improve checks for variations of names, aliases etc. We have found that with the RealBridge Login and Bridgewebs trying to resolve invalid names, mistakes can be made by players either way, especially where they share a computer. Now that RealBridge uses Cookies to remember both the Name and Id, a player using a shared computer has to be careful to change both Name and ID Number. So we have dropped any automatic checks and allow you to verify and amend the names
In particular
- There is a new [Name Check] Tab which can be used to view and update variations in Players Names
- The previous equivalent in Adjustments has been dropped.
- The option to change the "Paid By" in the Summary Session Popup has been changed to use a name and extended to all Members picked up by the Attendance module.
Update 12th April 2021
These changes are mainly to the databases and underlying software to improve checks for variations of names, aliases etc. In particular
- Recording of Bridgewebs id rather than membership name in attendance databases to allow change of names and aliases at a later stage
- Restriction to "Pay by Partner" only allowed to Debit transactions
- Debit/Credit transfer correctly assigned
- Extension of "Pay by Partner" to full list of members in Summary "Popup" display
There have been a number of technical changes behind the scenes in the software and databases to handle the changes in this release.
Bridgewebs should automatically update all the records. If you have any issues, please use the "Administration Support Request" to report these.
