Add a site

Priya is setting up the Claymont club in PTRS. This page is how to create a site with a complete profile, which takes two passes, because the Add Site sheet throws three fields away.

Three fields on this sheet are thrown away

Site Director, Fire Marshal Approved and Fire Marshal Inspection Date are collected and not saved. The site is created without them, with no error. Set them from Edit straight afterwards, in step 8.

What you need

  • The site's licensed capacity from the OCCL certificate, if it has one. It is optional here and it is the figure that later refuses an over-capacity enrolment.
  • Map coordinates, if you want the site on the Site Map. A site without them is left off the map silently.
  • Your organisation is taken from your sign-in, not from the sheet.

Step 1: open the sheet

Open Site Directory and press Add Site, top right of the filter bar. A sheet slides in from the right, headed Add New Site, "Create a new Boys & Girls Club site location".

Step 2: Site Information

FieldRequiredWhat PTRS accepts
Site NameYesUp to 200 characters
PhoneNoUp to 20 characters
Site DirectorNoA list of up to 200 active staff members. Thrown away.

Step 3: Address

FieldRequiredWhat PTRS accepts
Street AddressYesUp to 300 characters
CityYesUp to 100 characters
StateYesTwo characters. Pre-filled with DE.
ZIPYesUp to 10 characters
CountyNoUp to 100 characters
Latitude and LongitudeNoAny number. PTRS does not check they are real coordinates.

PTRS checks all of these only when you press Create Site, not as you type.

Step 4: Classification

Four lists, all optional:

FieldValues
Site ClassificationUnit, Extension, Community Impact, Mobile Program, Virtual Programming
Site StatusActive, Temporarily Closed, Permanently Closed. Starts as Active.
Facility OwnershipOwned, Leased, MOU
Year OpenedBetween 1900 and 2100
Setting the status to Temporarily Closed here does not set a closure date

The closure date and reason are not on this sheet. PTRS's nightly closure check only flags sites that have both the status and a date, so a site closed at creation is invisible to it for ever. Set the closure date from the Edit sheet afterwards.

Step 5: Medical & Health

This section does not go to the site record. If any of its four fields is filled in, the sheet makes a second request after the site is created, to Health and Safety, to create the site's health profile.

FieldValues
Medication Policy TierNot Configured, No Medication, Prescription Only, Full Medical (Rx + OTC)
AED on site, then AED LocationFree text
First Aid Kit LocationsFree text
Designated Isolation AreaFree text

If that second request fails, the site is still created and the message still says it was created successfully. Check the Medical Support card on the new site's profile.

Step 6: Capacity & Details

FieldRequiredWhat PTRS accepts
Operating CapacityYesGreater than 0
Licensed CapacityNoGreater than 0
Square FootageNoGreater than 0

Licensed Capacity is the enforcing figure. Once set, enrolling a child in a programme at this site is refused when active enrolments reach it. Leave it empty and PTRS enforces Operating Capacity instead.

Step 7: BGCA & Compliance

FieldRequiredWhat PTRS accepts
BGCA Charter #NoUp to 50 characters. The directory search finds it.
Registration StatusNoPending, Registered, Lapsed
Fire Marshal ApprovedNoThrown away
Fire Marshal Inspection DateNoShown only when the switch is on. Thrown away.

Press Create Site.

Step 8: open the new site and press Edit to set the three fields

Open Claymont and press Edit. The Edit sheet carries everything the Add sheet does, plus Closed Date, Closure Reason and the three fields that were thrown away, and it saves only what you change. Set the site director, because the nightly licence check reads that person's email address, and set the fire marshal approval and its date.

What you now have

A site with a complete profile, a licensed capacity that will be enforced at enrolment, and coordinates that place it on the map.

What you cannot undo

Delete Site, on the three-dot menu of the site's page, removes the site permanently, and every licence, inspection and violation for it goes too. The confirmation says so and is accurate. There is no way back. Site Status: Permanently Closed keeps the record and its history, and is almost always what is meant.

When something goes wrong

What you seeWhat it meansWhat to do
A message about a field after pressing Create Site, not beforePTRS checks the sheet only on submitFix the named field and submit again
The site is created but Director and the fire marshal fields are emptyExpected. The sheet throws them away.Press Edit and set them, as in step 8
The site is not on the mapIt has no coordinatesAdd them from Edit
A site created as Temporarily Closed is never flagged by the closure checkThe check needs a closure date, which this sheet cannot setSet Closed Date from Edit
The site director cannot be cleared once setChoosing None sends nothing, so the existing director staysAssign a different director instead
An enrolment is refused with "Site '…' is at licensed capacity"Active enrolments have reached the licensed capacity you enteredRaise Licensed Capacity from Edit, and only if the OCCL licence actually allows it
