Group Settings
Group settings control how your ASM group operates - from basic info to notification preferences and scheduling behavior. Only administrators can access these settings.
Accessing Group Settings
- Go to Settings → Group from the side menu
- You'll see the available configuration options for your group
General Settings
Group Information
- Group Name - the name that appears to all members
- Sport Type - the sport your group manages (e.g., hockey, baseball, soccer)
- Region - your geographic area or league
Contact Information
- Admin Contact Email - the email members see when they need to reach an administrator
- Admin Contact Phone - optional phone number for urgent issues
Notifications
Control which email notifications your group sends to members:
- New assignment notifications - alert members when they're assigned to a game
- Schedule change notifications - notify affected members when a game is moved or cancelled
- Availability reminders - remind members to submit availability before the due date
Tip: Enabling availability reminders reduces the number of members you have to chase down manually.
Scheduling Preferences
These settings affect how the scheduling workflow behaves:
- Draft visibility - whether members can see draft (unpublished) assignments
- Auto-notifications - whether assigning a member automatically sends them an email, or if you prefer to publish in bulk and notify everyone at once
Tips
- Turn on availability reminders - they save you time chasing members
- Review your group settings at the start of each season to make sure everything is current
- Consider whether members should see draft assignments - some groups prefer to keep drafts private until they publish, while others like the transparency
