How to Create and Manage Contacts in HQ

  • Updated

Your contacts are the staff or coaches at your school who need access to your PlayOn HQ account or information to access event settings, receive reports, or use Box Office. You may want a contact to have access to add events but not see weekly payment statements. You can also designate a particular sport or event to which the contact will have access, as you might not want your dance coordinator to have access to your sports account.

How to Create a Contact

From your PlayOn HQ Dashboard, click Accounts from the left-hand menu.

PlayOn HQ Accounts

On the Account tab, click Add contact + in the Contacts panel.

Click Create Contact when you're finished.

If the user does not have a password yet (i.e., they did not have an account previously) or if they're a new contact, they will get an automated email with a link for setting up a password, or you can have them set it themselves at GoFan Sign Up.
