Organisers can do everything that players can do, and also:
To access Organiser features, you need to log in. Click the log in link at the top right on the screen, and enter your username and password in the usual sort of way.
Once you are logged in as an organiser, you will be able to edit any players' attendance in the register.
In addition, you will get an extra option in each dropdown menu that lets you indicate that a player is not required for a particular rehearsal.
Underneath the register, you will get some extra links. Use the Edit list of players link to edit the list of players(!)
That lists all the players and the part they are currently playing. At the bottom of the list are the users who are currently not playing. If you change the values in the drop-down menus, and then click 'Save cahnges', you can change so is, or is not, playing, and which parts they are playing.
Someone can only be made a player for a particular event if they have been entered into the system as a user. To do that, use the Edit the list of users link. That takes you to the list of users. One thing to note about this list is that it gives the special link (URL) for each player. You can use this list if a player has forgotten their special URL and asks you for it again.
Next to each user, there is an Edit link to edit that user's details.
Top and bottom of the list of players are Add another user and Back to the register links.
This is accessed using the Edit the list of rehearsal series link. It works very like the Edit the list of users page, but there are two special things to note.
Next to each rehearsal series (except the current one) there is an Archive button. This lets you effectively hide old series of rehearsals, without losing that date about who came to each rehearsal. A series that has been archived can be brough back using the Restore button.
When you create a new series, you can choose to set up the list of players from the list for another series. This can save a lot of time if the list of players is similar. It is quicker to copy the old list and then edit it a bit, rather than having to set up the list of players from scratch.
Works just like the edit event series interface, but with the obvious differences.
You can add new sections or parts using the Edit the available sections and parts link underneath the register. You can also change the order in which they are displayed. You can only delete a Section or Part if there are no players of that part in any rehearsal series, even archived ones.
Using the Edit introductory message link, you can set a message, with an optional heading, to appear above the register. The message uses MarkDown format to allow basic formatting in the message.
Suppose (by way of example) you would like to get the email addresses of all Brass players who are not coming to the next rehearsal. You can do this using the Get a list of email addresses link. On this page, you can choose one or more parts (CTFL + click to select muliple parts), and optionally, you can choose an event and a list of attendance statuses, then click Get email addresses, and you will get a list of the email addresses of all the people you asked for, in a format suitable for copying and pasting into your email program.
Under the register you will also see a link List of events to copy-and-paste into the wiki. That takes you to a page that formats the list of events in a format suitable for copying and pasting into a MediaWiki site.
If the an administrator has set it up, there will also be a link that takes you directly to the editing page where you need to paste the list.
