SafeConfig

Your club's rules.
Your fields. No extra software.

SafeConfig is Club 360's custom-fields system - so you capture club-ops details beside affiliation, without another subscription, another spreadsheet, or another place for volunteers to look.

  • Fewer tools to pay for
  • Fields where you already work
  • Friends with BowlsLink

Every bowls club keeps a few things that don't fit a standard roll. Dietary notes for barefoot catering. Which members hold a Working with Children check. Preferred locker side. A sponsor contact who isn't on BowlsLink. Today that lives in a secretary's Excel file, a Facebook group poll, or a sticky note on the bar fridge.

That scatter has a cost. You pay for spreadsheets and forms that don't talk to membership. Volunteers spend evenings re-typing the same fact into three places. When the long-serving secretary steps down, the club loses half the story. SafeConfig puts those club-owned fields inside Club 360 - on the member record first, and later on bookings, sponsors, equipment and more - so the club manages itself with one login.

BowlsLink stays the home for affiliation and pennant. Club 360 is friends with BowlsLink: NIN and competition data sync in, while SafeConfig holds the operational extras your committee actually runs on. You don't replace the national platform. You add club-ops fields beside it, and stop paying for parallel spreadsheets and form tools.

How SafeConfig works

Define once. Use where the work already happens.

Admins set the fields. Volunteers see them in the same forms and detail screens they already use - no separate "custom fields" tab to hunt for.

1

Choose the area

Start with members. Later phases cover reservations, events, sponsors, greens, equipment and more as your club needs them.

2

Add the field

Text, number, date, yes/no or a short list. Labels, help text and required rules that match how your club actually works.

3

See it inline

Fields appear on add, edit and overview screens in the natural place - not buried in a separate tab volunteers forget.

4

Keep history safe

Deactivate or retire a field without wiping stored answers. Soft delete keeps past values for the next committee.

What clubs gain

Lower cost. Clearer club management.

Fewer paid tools

Stop buying another forms product or cloud sheet just to store club-only facts. SafeConfig is included in Club 360.

One member truth

Club notes sit on the same membership record as renewals and emergency contacts - ready for the next secretary.

Volunteer-friendly

Inline fields mean less training. If you can edit a member, you can fill the club's own questions without learning a second screen.

Beside BowlsLink, not instead

Affiliation and pennant stay in BowlsLink. SafeConfig holds club-ops fields beside that work - friends working together.

Typed and validated

Text, numbers, dates, yes/no and select lists - with required rules, min/max and help text so data stays useful.

Data stays with the club

Retiring a field never scrapes old answers. Soft delete keeps history for audits, AGMs and the next committee handover.

Why it matters

Run the club you have, not the spreadsheet you inherited

SafeConfig turns "we keep that in a side file" into "it's on the record, where the work happens."

Reduce running costs

One Club 360 subscription covers members, bookings and SafeConfig. You avoid stacking form builders, survey tools and duplicate cloud drives for the same facts.

Manage the club better

Committee decisions get easier when dietary, compliance and preference data sits beside the member - not in a private folder only one person can open.

Handover without panic

When roles change, SafeConfig definitions and values stay with the organisation. The next treasurer or secretary picks up where you left off.

Friends with BowlsLink

Keep BowlsLink for affiliation and pennant. Use SafeConfig for club-house reality - then see both worlds through Club 360's BowlsLink sync.

Questions

SafeConfig FAQ

What is SafeConfig?

SafeConfig is Club 360's reusable custom-fields system. Your club defines the extra fields it needs (text, number, date, yes/no or select), and those fields appear inline on the forms and detail screens where staff already work.

Does SafeConfig replace BowlsLink?

No. BowlsLink remains the official platform for affiliation and pennant. SafeConfig holds club-specific operational data that sits beside that sync - Club 360 is friends with BowlsLink, not a replacement.

What can we use SafeConfig for today?

Member records first - dietary notes, club tags, compliance reminders and any other facts your roll needs. Further modules (bookings, events, sponsors, equipment and more) follow the same pattern as your club grows into them.

Will deleting a field wipe our answers?

No. SafeConfig soft-deletes definitions and never scrapes stored values when you deactivate or retire a field. History stays with the club.

Is SafeConfig a paid add-on?

No. It is part of Club 360 - one simple monthly fee with every module included. See all features or join the waitlist for current pricing.
