Part 2: Club Route Library

  • Updated

The Route Library is your central location to organize and share Club routes to your members. Add tags for organization, and manage route level visibility all from a single page.

When you first set up your club account, we will happily transfer over all of your existing routes from an established account or group so that all existing routes and URLs to the routes will remain intact.

The Route Library

The Club account acts like a separate account, so you will have to sign into the club to plan/edit routes, add routes to the club, and add tags.

 

Click SIGN INTO CLUB.

The top of the menu will turn yellow to signify that you have signed in as the Club. Only an approved route manager will ever see this option.

Route Managers can click Sign into club account to start making any changes additions to the route library.

The top toolbar on the website will turn yellow to signify you are signed in with another account.

If the toolbar is grey, then you are still signed in with your own account.

Click Sign Out while the toolbar is yellow to return to your account.

Copy Routes to your Club Library

What good is a Club account if you don't have any routes to share with its members? Here are a couple of ways to add routes to your club route library.

  1. Bring up any route that you want to add to your library.
  2. In the left side panel, click More > Copy to My Routes. You can optionally change name and permission on the following screen
  3. Select the organization you want to add the route to under the Account dropdown. You will only see this if signed into your personal account.
  4. Click Copy to my Routes to finish

Tag Routes

From the Route Library

  1. Select the routes you wish to tag.
  2. Click set tags
  3. In the Route Tags field, type in the desired tag or click to show the list of available tags.
  4. After you have typed a tag, press enter to complete the tag. It will appear in a small box.
  5. Repeat these steps to add additional tags to the same route.

While Saving a Route

You can also add and edit tags on a route while saving the route.
After you have added tags, you can further sort your routes by clicking filters. This will allow you to sort by tags, minimum or maximum distance, minimum or maximum elevation, route name, and location. You can add multiple tags to further filter your routes and better organize large route libraries.
Here's a quick demo on adding tags:

Route Privacy

Routes in the library can have their own privacy settings. Only a route manager will have access to these options.
  • Public - Anyone including members and non-members can view these routes. Both members and non-members can take advantage of all the signature features for these routes.
  • Club Members - Only members of the club can see these routes and take advantage of the signature features. Non-members will not see these routes at all.
  • Route Managers - Only members with the ability to "Manage Routes" will see these routes. This setting is for routes that are considered a work-in-progress, or you don't yet wish to reveal to the members until a specific date or event.

 

 

Archive Routes

Routes can be archived from the route library. These routes will not be visible to club members for viewing on the web, or for downloading and navigating on the app. These routes can be added back into the route library for use by members. Only a route manager will have access to these options.
  1. Select the routes you want to archive by clicking the checkboxes adjacent to their names
  2. Click Archive at the bottom row beneath route table
  3. View your archived routes by clicking View Archived Routes in upper right

  2. Click the selection box to one or more routes.
  3. Click the Set City button at the bottom of the list.
