How do I set up a hunting ground?

The hunting ground settings gather its general information: name, address, photo, hunting ground type, country and payment methods offered to the hunts, plus the participants' access to the attendance sheet. The administrator and the managers can always change the settings. A syndicate member or a member can only do it if the administrator has granted them the **Edit the hunting ground** permission. For the default payment methods, they also need the **Manage the treasury** permission. ## On mobile ### Change the hunting ground information 1. **Hunting grounds** tab, tap the hunting ground. 2. "Administration" section, tap **Settings**. 3. To replace the cover photo, tap **Change photo**. It is sent straight away, without waiting for the save. 4. "Information" section, change the **Name**. 5. Tap **Address** to search for it, then **Hunting ground type** and **Country** to pick them from a list. 6. "Event payments" section, turn on the methods offered by default to each new hunt: **Bank card**, **Cash / on site**. 7. "Attendance sheet" section, turn on **Visible to participants** so that participants see it on the day of the hunt. Leave it off to keep it for the organisers. 8. Tap **Save changes** at the bottom of the screen. To change the payment methods, a syndicate member or a member needs the **Manage the treasury** permission, on top of **Edit the hunting ground**. Without it, the save fails (alert "Unable to save"). The button stays greyed out for as long as nothing has changed. Once the save is done, it reads "Changes saved". ### Place the default meeting point This works while the hunting ground has no meeting point yet. It needs the **Manage maps** and **Manage the meeting point** permissions, and a map already created on the hunting ground. 1. Open the hunting ground, "Hunting ground" section, tap **Maps**. 2. On a map, tap **Edit**. 3. In the toolbar, tap **Layers**. 4. On the **Meeting point** line, tap **Place**. 5. Tap the map at the spot you want (message "Tap to place the meeting point"). The point is saved straight away, with its address if it is found. Once the point is placed, the **Meeting point** line only serves to show or hide it on that map. To move it, use the web. ### Draw the boundary You need the **Manage the boundary** permission. 1. Open the hunting ground, "Hunting ground" section, tap **Boundary**. 2. Tap the "Hunting ground boundary" line. The map opens almost full screen. 3. Draw the perimeter with the **Parcels**, **Lasso** or **Draw** tool. 4. Tap **Save**. The three drawing tools are described in the article about the boundary, linked at the bottom of the page. ## On the web ### Change the hunting ground information 1. Click **Hunting grounds** in the menu, then the hunting ground. 2. In the hunting ground menu, "Administration" section, click **Settings**. 3. Change what you need: **Cover photo** (**Change image** button), **Hunting ground name**, **Address / Place name**, **Area (ha)**, **Hunting ground type** and **Country of the hunting ground**. 4. Click **Save changes**. ### Set the boundary You need the **Manage the boundary** permission. 1. Open the hunting ground's **Settings** page. 2. In the **Hunting ground boundary** block, click **Define** (or **Edit** if a perimeter exists). The map opens full screen. 3. Draw the perimeter with the map tools. 4. Click **Save**, at the bottom of the map. The drawing tools are described in the article about the boundary, linked at the bottom of the page. ### Set the default meeting point You need the **Manage the meeting point** permission. 1. Open the hunting ground's **Settings** page. 2. In the **Default meeting point** block, click **Define** (or **Edit** if a point exists). 3. In the window, search for an address or click the map to place the point. 4. Click **Save** in the window. ### Choose the default payment methods 1. Open the hunting ground's **Settings** page. 2. In the **Default payment methods** block, click **Bank card**, **Cash / on site**, or both, to turn them on. 3. Click **Save** to the right of the block. A syndicate member or a member needs the **Manage the treasury** permission, on top of **Edit the hunting ground**. Without it, the message "You can't perform this action." appears and the payment methods stay unchanged. ### Show the attendance sheet to participants 1. Open the hunting ground's **Settings** page. 2. In the "Attendance sheet" block, tick **Visible to participants**. The text under the box says "On the day of the hunt only". 3. Click **Save**, to the right of the box. This block only appears if you can edit the hunting ground. Unticked, the box keeps the sheet for the organisers. **Save changes** doesn't save the boundary, the meeting point, the payment methods or the attendance sheet: each one has its own **Save** button. ## Good to know - On the web, the meeting point and the boundary are also set in **Settings**. - On mobile, the meeting point and the boundary are set from the maps and the boundary. - The hunting ground country decides which rules apply to the participants' hunting licences. - The default meeting point is offered to each new hunt on the hunting ground. The organiser can change it for one hunt. - The default payment methods can then be changed hunt by hunt. - The **Visible to participants** setting applies to every hunt on the hunting ground. It is off until someone turns it on. Participants who are confirmed or marked present then see the attendance sheet on the day of the hunt only: see [How do I print a hunt's attendance sheet?](article:how-do-i-print-a-hunts-attendance-sheet). - On mobile, the area isn't entered in **Settings**: it is calculated from the **Boundary** outline. - On the web, the **Hunting ground boundary** and **Default meeting point** blocks only appear if you have the **Manage the boundary** or **Manage the meeting point** permission. The **Edit the hunting ground** permission doesn't show them. - A member who only has the **Manage the meeting point** or **Manage the boundary** permission sees the **Settings** page on the web. They only change the matching block there: the other fields stay greyed out and the payment methods don't appear. - The updated information is visible to every member of the hunting ground. ### Other hunting ground settings: on mobile Each setting has its own screen in the hunting ground menu. - Rules and safety instructions, with the instructions PDF (10 MB at most): "Activities" section, then **Regulations**. - Default guests (from 0 to 10 per hunt, and the type of guest allowed): "Activities" section, then **Guests**. - Horn calls: "Activities" section, then **Horn calls**. - Radios: "Activities" section, then **Radios**. - Hunting ground species: "Hunting ground" section, then **Harvest plan & tags** and the **Hunting ground species** button. ### Other hunting ground settings: on the web Each setting has its own page in the hunting ground menu. - Rules and safety instructions, with the instructions PDF (10 MB at most): **Safety** page. - Default guests (from 0 to 10 per hunt, and the type of guest allowed): **Guests** page. - Hunting ground species: **Harvest plan & tags** page. - Horn calls: **Harvest plan & tags** page. - Radios: **Radios** page. To delete the hunting ground, see [How do I delete a hunting ground?](article:how-do-i-delete-a-hunting-ground). ## If something goes wrong - "I can't see Settings": you don't have permission to edit the hunting ground. Ask the administrator for it. - "The Save changes button stays greyed out" (on mobile): nothing has changed, the name is empty, or no payment method is ticked ("Choose at least one payment method."). - "Unable to save" (on mobile) or "You can't perform this action." (on the web) when changing the payment methods: you have **Edit the hunting ground** but not **Manage the treasury**. Ask the administrator for that permission. - "The button reads View instead of Edit" (on mobile): you don't have the **Manage maps** permission. The map stays read-only. Ask the administrator for it. - "I can't find Place on the Meeting point line" (on mobile): a meeting point already exists, or you don't have the **Manage the meeting point** permission. To move an existing point, use the web. ## See also - [How do I set my hunting ground's boundary?](article:how-do-i-set-my-hunting-grounds-boundary) - [How do I print a hunt's attendance sheet?](article:how-do-i-print-a-hunts-attendance-sheet) - [How do I bring an armed or unarmed guest?](article:how-do-i-bring-an-armed-or-unarmed-guest) - [How do I set up the horn calls?](article:how-do-i-set-up-horn-calls)
