Club Member Pages
Club Admins can now have more control over what their members see in the Club Members Area.
We know that not every club uses every feature in Golden Records Online, and having unused features on the menu can be confusing for members. To help with this, you can now choose which pages are visible to your club members. If a particular feature isn’t relevant to your club, hide the page so members only see what they actually need.
This is a great way to keep things tidy and make it easier for your archers to find their scores, records, and the tools they use most often.
You’ll find this new setting in your Club Admin area at:

Change to API Key Management
API keys for all users except Personal accounts are now managed by Club Admins and are no longer issued by default to club officials. Existing keys will remain valid. If a club official wishes to use the API and they do not have a key, the Club Admin will need to issue one.
Club Admins can now revoke and regenerate API keys if they are exposed in a data breach or to prevent misuse.
Club Admins can manage API keys from the DATA menu.

New Rounds
We’ve added support for three additional World Archery metric rounds in Golden Records: WA 40m (Recurve), WA 40m (Compound) and WA 30m (Barebow).
These rounds are now available for selection when entering scores and viewing results. The classification and handicap tables have also been updated to include these rounds, so classifications and handicaps will be calculated correctly for any new scores you record against them.

Allow Members to View All Club Scores
Some clubs have asked for members to be able to see all club scores, and this feature has now been added. Club administrators can choose whether or not to enable it, and it is turned off by default. When enabled, members can view all current scores in the member area in a layout similar to the records officer view, but it is completely read-only.

New Feature
When setting up club members to use Golden Records, as an alternative to emailing them, it is now possible to print details with a QR code that can be given to the member.
If a member did not receive the email, the details can also be printed off.

New Feature: Calendar Import from .ics Files
We have added the ability to import a calendar from an .ics file. The import will not affect any existing calendar entries and will not create duplicates. Duplicate detection is based on both name and date — if either changes, a new entry will be created.
Please note that the calendar import does not sync — it can only add items that do not already exist.

Data Export
We’ve increased the extent of raw data you can export.
You can now export a wider range of data, and the export format now matches the data provided by the API.
Exports are available in CSV and XLSX formats.
This feature is available to Club Records Officers and Personal Account holders.

Updates to Golden Records
New Settings
Here's something that a few clubs have been asking for — and we're delighted it's now live!
We've added a brand new setting that gives you control over whether your club records officers are able to approve their own scores. It's a small change, but it can make a big difference to how your club manages score integrity.
How does it work?
By default, records officers can approve their own scores — so if you're happy with the current arrangement, you don't need to do a thing. But if your club would prefer a bit more separation of duties (and many do!), you can now switch this off.
Once you do, any scores that a records officer adds or edits that are their own will remain in the queue as pending approval — meaning someone else will need to give them the green light. It's a great way to add an extra layer of accountability and keep everything above board.
Only club administrators can change this setting, so it's safely tucked away from sneaky records officers. It can be found at https://archery-records.net/clubs/settings as "Officers Can Approve Their Own Scores"
Smarter Multiple Score Entry
If you regularly use the multiple score entry page, you're going to love this one. We've made things considerably smoother!
Previously, when entering scores for a member, you'd have to manually select their bow class and age group every time. Now, as soon as you pick a member from the list, those fields automatically fill in for you. Magic!
That means fewer clicks, fewer chances of accidentally entering the wrong age group, and a much faster experience overall — which is exactly what you need on a busy club night when there's a queue of archers waiting to get their scores logged.
New Club Onboarding Wizard
Getting a brand new club set up on the system just got a whole lot easier. When a new club signs up, they'll now be walked through a handy onboarding wizard that guides them through all the key settings and options from the very start.
No more hunting around menus trying to figure out what needs configuring — the wizard takes care of it all in one smooth process. A much better first impression for new clubs joining the platform!
Achievements Now Visible from the Members List
Want to quickly check what a member has achieved? You can now view member achievements directly from the members list inside the Records Manager — no need to dig into individual profiles. It's a handy little shortcut that saves you a few extra clicks.
Improved Scoresheet Rendering
We've been doing some work under the bonnet on scoresheets, and things are looking much better. Rendering has been noticeably improved, so your scoresheets, certificates, and logos should display more crisply and consistently than before.
On top of that, all score sheets, logos, certificates, and related files are now hosted via a Content Delivery Network (CDN). In plain English, that means they'll load faster and more reliably for everyone, no matter where they are in the country.

Coaching Reports and Export
Golden Records online now includes a new way to review and share coaching activity and coaching development activity, making it easier for organisations, coaches and administrators to access important information in the format that suits them best. Users can now generate a clear PDF report for quick reference or export the same data to .xlsx format for further analysis.
