When a member pays their membership for the new season on ClubZap (Step A) they have a Paid membership status for the current Season. When a club Registrar registers players or when a person registers themself on the DDSL Sportslomo system (Step B) their profile appears as Active.

One of the biggest headaches for a club is identifying who has paid their membership on ClubZap versus who has been registered on the Governing Body system which we are addressing here.


Prerequisite

  1. You must first create and configure your squad reports in order to synchronise your systems.

    1. Details on Creating a Squad Report and assigning the Governing body here

    2. Details on adding members to a squad report here

Synchronisation steps

To synchronise member profiles on your ClubZap Membership management System and the DDSL Registration system please complete the prerequisite step above and then complete these 2 steps.

  1. Login to the DDSL portal and download your members registration status - View

  2. Login to ClubZap and upload the DDSL file to synchronise member profiles - View

Note:

  1. Prior to synchronisation if you could merge any duplicates on your ClubZap platform.

  2. You must ensure that DDSL is the selected Governing Body for your Squad Reports.

  3. DDSL registered players are automatically registered on the FAI registration system by the DDSL system

Once Synchronisation is completed if a match is found for the member on ClubZap their DDSL ID will be populated and their Registered status will be updated to show as Active for the current season.

Step 1: Download Member Registration Status

  1. Select 'View Members' from the Membership menu

  2. On the Filter options ensure the Season is set to the current season and the Membership Status is set to Active. (These are normally set by default)

  3. Select 'Export' under the Options tab. This exported file will be saved in your 'Downloads' folder on your device as member-export.csv

Step 2: Synchronise Member Registration Status with ClubZap

  1. Login to the ClubZap Admin portal (clubzap.com/signin)

  2. Go to Membership -> Members

  3. Select DDSL SportLoMo

  4. Drag the .csv output file (member-export.csv) you obtained on completion of Step 1 process above into the upload screen as shown here:

5. Once the import file has been processed any members matching (First Name, Last Name, DOB) will have their DDSL ID populated and their Registration status set to Active for the current season.


Tips & Troubleshooting

How can I see a count of DDSL Registered Versus Not Registered for my Paid members?

  1. Login to the ClubZap Admin portal (clubzap.com/signin)

  2. Go to Membership -> Members

At the top of the page you will see a count of how many of your Paid members have been registered with the DDSL registration platform.

Note: If the Not Registered number appears high it is most likely because there has been an influx of membership payments since you last completed the synchronisation process above.

How do I check if a members ClubZap profile has been synchronised with their DDSL Profile?

  1. Login to the ClubZap Admin portal (clubzap.com/signin)

  2. Go to Membership -> Members

  3. Search for the members name and click on the View option in the Actions column

  4. Scroll down the members profile to Governing Bodies/Associations section to see the status. A Green tick indicates the member is registered with the DDSL for the coming season.

Can I receive an automated email summarising Registered V Not Registered members on ClubZap?

Every Monday morning the ClubZap platform sends out a Club Weekly Membership Report which summarises new signups, membership revenue and a count of those Members who paid on ClubZap and are marked as Registered versus Not Registered.

To ensure you get this weekly email update check out how to turn on system emails here

What happens when a new season starts?

When a season rolls over all members on ClubZap will transition from a Paid state to a pending_renewal state. Similarly on the DDSL system they will transition from Active to Expired.

The DDSL ID will be saved and remain associated with their profile and used in the matching process when synchronising member profiles.

How can a Coach view membership and registration status for their players?

A Club administrator can create squad reports as detailed here which will be emailed to coaches on a Friday morning. The report includes details of the paid up members and registered members as shown here.
