Sportzware Central 7.0 - Release Notes

Online software registration

Re-registering your copy of the SWC7 software is now done through an automated online system. This means manual input of codes is no longer necessary for re-registration. You will only need to manually enter your registration code the first time you register SWC7.

Member Season Functionality

The software will now work in conjunction with the new Seasons Module in the Online Membership system. This will make it easier for administrators to track any individuals’ playing history as well as players in competitions.
This functionality eases the rollover from one season to the next, allowing administrators to begin the process of importing members into the next season during the current season.

New Graphical Interface

New look menus, tabs and buttons makes it easier to navigate through the program.
New grids that have extra sorting and filtering functionality have also been added.

New Reporting Engine

The new reporting engine significantly improves the quality of exported reports to formats such as MSWord and PDFs. It is also far more compatible with Microsoft Vista.
The reporting engine is built upon Crystal Reports version 11 allowing for improved custom reports to be created.

Custom Fields

Custom Fields have now been added to the Clubs and Teams sections allowing for a more thorough collection of data and information.
There have also been more Custom Fields added to the Members section to improve administrators’ capacity to collect member data.

Add Button in Full Match Entry Removed (ARLD version only)

All new players must be entered and validated into the system prior to match entry through the normal member interface.

Use of Secondary/Tertiary Fields as Home Venues

A Team can now have more than one home venue. This means that if there are any clashes these secondary and tertiary fields can be used to rectify the problem.

Sub-Venues

Sub-venue functionality has been improved meaning the user no longer needs to specify the main venue in the sub-venue name.
Sub-Venues can now be used in Fixturing and Venue Allocation. This functionality allows for the allotment of specific competition types to venues that have the necessary fields for that competition.

A Network Install error involving a client installation file not registering the new license key has been fixed.
Reports can be previewed without a printer needing to be installed/attached to the computer.
Bugs related to incorrect zones and regions have been fixed.
The inability to maximize the tribunal window has been rectified.
A bug that was stopping error logs being sent to support has been addressed.
An error preventing details being entered into the Intermediate section for a Round Robin competition has been fixed.

The initial release of SWC version 7.0 (27 January 2009) does not yet include French and Spanish language versions or sport-specific versions. These versions will be available shortly.
