Getting started

Velos is where a federation, club or academy keeps its people and runs its competitions. Athletes, coaches, judges and staff live in one place; competitions are set up, entered, scored and published from that same place; and training and performance records hang off the same athletes.

This guide is your first hour. It assumes nothing except that someone has created an account for you.

What this guide covers

• Signing in — the sign-in code, what to do when it does not arrive, and staying signed in.
• Roles and access — the six built-in roles in plain language, what your account can reach, and why two people see different things.
• Finding your way around — the dashboard, the sidebar, your own profile, and switching language or appearance.

Where to go next

Once you can sign in and read the sidebar, the rest of the documentation is organised by what you are trying to do:

• Competitions — running an event from setup to published results.
• Clubs — clubs, their athletes, and moving athletes between them.
• Training — recording and reviewing training.
• Performance — what the numbers say over time.

A note on what you will see

Velos is not identical everywhere. Each federation, club or academy chooses which sports it runs and which features it uses, so your sidebar will be shorter or longer than someone else’s and some pages in this documentation will describe things you do not have. Where that is likely, the page says so.

Next

Signing in is only the door. Competitions covers the work most people open Velos to do — setting an event up, taking entries, scoring it, and publishing the results.
