2. Presence points allowance
When the event gets closed by the administrator the presence points are automatically booked to the personal
presence point balance of the active members, and of the guests and visitors . Closing an event is described in Event life cycle.
Guests and visitors from other clubs will also receive their presence points with this action. Filling a presence card is not necessary anymore. For guests from other countries or from clubs not using Polaris you will still have to issue a printed presence card. This will then be recorded by the secretary of the home club as compensation.
Each visitor is responsible for obtaining from the host club either an assurance that his presence is recorded in Polaris or a guest card.
Members attending events in other clubs will thus get their presence points by that club.
This is also true for district events.
Compensations
When the visited club does not capturie attendance with Polaris, e.g. a club in another country, the member will bring back a printed presence card. The presence points for such an attendance must be manually entered as a compensation in the menu "Members > Active members > tab Presence". Here is also the place where presence points for voluntary work can be allocated. On this page the presence points of the member can also be checked by the administrator.
One of the three roles
"Presence administration", "Member Admin." or
"Unit Admin (all rights)"
is required for the maintenance of member compensation.
