Settings

Settings is where you manage your organisation's core details — its name, contact email, timezone, public directory categories and web address (slug). You'll find it in the admin sidebar under System → Settings.

Who can use this

You need to be an admin for most of this page. The Settings page opens for both admins and moderators, but the save actions for organisation details, the slug, parent affiliation and the danger zone are admin-only — moderators will be blocked if they try them.

The one exception is the Categories section: both admins and moderators can add and remove categories.

There's no extra feature flag or permission to switch on — Settings is part of the platform core and is always available.

What's on the page

The page is a stack of cards, each handling one job:

• Organisation details — your name, description, contact email, timezone, whether registrations are open, and your search-engine visibility.
• Categories — directory tags so your club shows under the right filters.
• Slug — your organisation's URL identifier.
• Parent affiliation (or re-affiliation) — join or leave a parent organisation.
• Danger zone — request deletion of the whole organisation.

Step by step

Update your organisation details

1. Edit any of the fields under Organisation details.
2. Tick or untick Registrations open to control whether people can register.
3. Tick or untick Allow search engines to index this site to control whether your public site appears in search results (paid plans only — see the field reference below).
4. The floating save pill (top right) flags your unsaved changes as you type — click Save organisation details to apply.

Add a directory category

1. Under Categories, choose a top-level option from the Add category dropdown (e.g. Sport).
2. Optionally pick a Sub-category (e.g. Hockey) — this stays disabled until you've chosen a category with sub-categories.
3. Click Add. The new tag appears as a pill above. To remove one, click the × on its pill.

Rename your URL slug

1. Under Slug, type your new slug into New slug (lowercase letters, digits and hyphens). Use the ? for a reminder of the format.
2. Click Rename. Renaming creates a 301 redirect from your old address and is allowed once every 30 days.

Join or leave a parent organisation

• If you have no parent, pick one in Apply to join a parent and click Submit application — it enters the parent's approval queue.
• If you already have a parent, click Leave parent to detach. Members, content and billing stay put.

Request organisation deletion

1. In the Danger zone, type your organisation's slug into the confirmation box — this guards against accidental clicks.
2. Click Request organisation deletion. Your public site is hidden and custom domains are released immediately, and a 30-day grace period starts. An export is emailed 24 hours before data is removed.
3. The Danger zone now shows the scheduled deletion date. To change your mind, click Cancel deletion any time within the grace period — your public site and custom domains come straight back, and nothing is lost.

Tips & FAQ

• My slug rename was refused. It's limited to once every 30 days, and the new slug can't be reserved or already taken — pick another.
• Where do my categories show? On the public directory's filters. With none set, your club only appears under "Any category".
• Registrations toggle here is the master switch — see Registrations for the full flow.
• For company/ABN and invoicing details, use Business details; for plan and payment, see Subscription & billing.
• Changes here are recorded — review them in the Activity log.
