Goals for revisiting flaik setup
Wait, I already set flaik up last year! I gotta do it again?!
Well, not quite! But there are some areas we think you should revisit before you kick off your upcoming season. The weeks before your operations start may be the only quiet(ish) time you'll have to refine how your site works.
The top three areas we think you should focus on are Scheduling, Class Management, and Timekeeping. These three features are the most impactful to your operation, so it's worth spending a little bit of time to maintain the settings that make these features tick.
There's also some features that need to be set up fresh each season, such as Hiring and Availability. We've outlined some action items for those features, too. If you don't use Hiring and Availability, no worries, you can skip over those bits.
Why change things, though?
Year-over-year, your configuration in flaik can get bloated, as users tend to add new things without removing unused items. We recommend taking a hard look at the amount of shifts, tasks, and paid activities you're using and think about whether you can make any refinements, merge any like items, or take a more minimalist approach.
You can use the season switcher to flip back to a past season. This will show you a snapshot of your old config as well as how many times a specific item was used in the past. That last bit is crucial - if you created anything that didn't get used last season, you should consider removing it.
Before you get started
Now is a great time of year to run through your site's config before you start using it. Some things, like shifts and tasks, can only be altered before you start applying them to schedules. To start, we recommend browsing through admin settings (particularly product settings) and taking short notes of the different areas you might want to adjust before you start using flaik again. Once you're ready to start making changes, use the checklists below to stay organized.
