Introducing the New Backoffice Calendar on SportsEngine Motion!

by Simon MacKenzie

Sr. Manager, Product Marketing at SportsEngine

February 1, 2024 | 2 minutes, 21 seconds read

The new Backoffice Calendar in SportsEngine Motion is one of the many steps on a long journey ahead to creating a more unified, connected experience across all your SportsEngine accounts. Here's a sneak peek at why you're going to love this new feature:

 

 

Total Sync with Mobile App 📲

Gone are the days of manual syncing between devices! Any changes you make on the mobile app will instantly appear on your desktop. This means seamless access to your calendar, whether on the go or at your desk. You'll always have the most up-to-date information at your fingertips.

Customize Your View 👀

Tailor your calendar to meet your specific needs with our new filter options. You can choose exactly what you want to see: appointments, classes, or practices. For our swim organizations, we've added a special filter for workout status, making it easier to stay organized and focused.

Superuser Superpowers 💪

For those with superuser or instructor permissions, communication got a lot easier. You can now directly communicate with attendees or other instructors, streamlining coordination and collaboration within your organization.

Subscribe Button 🔗

Stay in sync with your favorite external calendars. Whether you use Google, Apple, or Microsoft calendars, you can now link them with your SportsEngine Motion practices, classes, and appointments. This integration ensures you're always updated and connected, no matter where you are.

⏰ Note: Sync frequency with external calendars may vary. Be sure to check with your specific calendar service for details. For more information, check out our helpful article.

 

A Future Full of Possibilities

Remember, this is just the beginning. We're committed to creating a unified calendar for all your SportsEngine accounts. It's an ambitious goal, and while it may take some time, launching the Backoffice Calendar is a significant first step towards achieving it.

We're excited to have you on this journey with us, and we can't wait to show you what's in store. Thanks for being a part of our SportsEngine family. Together, we're making sports organization management smoother and more connected than ever before. 🏆
