FAQs – Useful information

Can I import external email addresses as recipient groups?

Yes, that is possible. The prerequisite is a table in the appropriate Excel format (.xlsx). Special rules apply, which are described here.

What are content blocks in Polaris?

Content blocks are building blocks that play an important role in creating modern and readable websites for the club or the district. The layout of the content blocks is predefined and can only be customized to a limited extent, but they ensure that the website always looks right and also works on tablets and smartphones.

The following blocks are currently available in all Polaris applications:

• Primary image & text
• Title
• Text HTML
• Image with text
• Single image
• Single file
• Separator
• Video
• Related event
• File collection
• Image collection
• Related content
• Folder
• Member
• Button
• Plan image

You can find out here how to use the individual modules optimally.

How should I best organize folders and archives?

Folders are ideal for storing documents in the club or district and making them available to authorized persons. This is done in the "Documents" section and the visibility is set at the folder level.

A well thought-out folder structure is necessary because restricting the visibility of board documents for club members affects all lower-level folders. You can find here detailed instructions on this topic.

Can I upload several files at the same time?

Yes, this is possible, but the maximum size of a file is limited to 20 Mb and the total size of all files selected at once must not exceed 100 Mb.

Images that exceed 2000 px are automatically and proportionally reduced to this size during upload and then have a maximum size of 4 Mb. The order of the uploaded files can be changed later in Polaris.
