Transport Methods
Location in standard build: Administration > Drop-Down Lists > Transport Methods
The drop-down list of Transport Methods is used by the Clubs and Clinics module. Each client can have a Transport Method stored for their membership of each club/clinic/group on your system. Sometimes you will not need to know anything about their transport methods, but for some scenarios it is important. If your organisation arranges transport for the attendees (on a minibus, in taxis etc) then you will need to know which clients are travelling by which method.
You can use as many transport methods as you like for reporting purposes, and you can also have the option to produce a transport list for each method. A common method is bus/minibus so that you can produce a list of clients for the driver to pick up. Select “Transport Methods” from the menu bar (“Administration” > “Drop-Down Lists” > “Transport Methods”). You will be shown the list of methods already set up, if there are any.
Click the “New Method” button and the following page will appear:-
Note that there is an option for 'Include in Transport List?'. This means that you will be able to print a list of all the clients who use this transport method. You would probably select 'No' for transport methods such as “Walking” or “Uses own transport” etc. The "Header" and "Footer" fields only come into play when you create a transport list for this method. The header and footer will appear at the top and bottom of the list produced, and these are ideal for writing a message to the driver of the minibus, etc.
