Logging In
How do I log in to GameDay?
To login to GameDay as an administrator, you first need to have been granted access to the relevant database. If you are unsure whether you have access to a database, please contact an existing database administrator for your organisation.
If you have been granted access to a database, you can log in to GameDay here using the email address and password you created when you were initially set up as an administrator.
How do I get access to my GameDay database if there are no other administrators in the organisation?
If your GameDay database has been recently created and doesn't yet have any administrators, it is likely that you have either been given a project or sales contact at GameDay, who can organise this type of access for you. If you are unsure of your contact at GameDay, please contact us here.
How do I reset my password?
You can reset your password as an administrator by clicking here, then using the 'Forgot?' button and entering your email address. This will send an email to your inbox if your account is active, where you can set a new password to log in.

This powerful tool allows you to customize your experience by adjusting the display, content, and navigation to meet your individual needs. It includes a wide range of features, from simple text and contrast changes to advanced tools like screen readers and dyslexia-friendly fonts.

To find and open the widget, follow these steps:
Navigate to the top-right corner of the platform.
Click on the Settings Cog.
Select Language & Accessibility from the dropdown menu.
What are Accessibility Profiles?
Accessibility Profiles are quick, pre-configured bundles of settings designed for specific accessibility needs. When you activate a profile, it automatically enables a group of tools to enhance your experience for that particular requirement.

Seizure & Epileptic: Stops all flashing animations and reduces colour saturation.
ADHD: Provides a reading mask to help users focus on specific sections of the page.
Can I adjust individual settings instead of using a profile?
Yes. If you prefer more granular control over your experience, you can enable and adjust individual tools from the main widget panel. These tools are grouped into three main categories: Content & Readability, Colour & Display, and Navigation & Orientation.
What options do I have to improve content readability?
These tools adjust how you read and interact with text on the platform:
Screen Reader: Reads the on-screen text aloud (pace can be set to Normal, Fast, or Slow).

Line Height: Increases the spacing between lines of text.
Text Align: Adjusts the alignment of all text (Left, Right, Center, or Justify).
Dictionary: Allows you to look up the definition of words on the page.
What options do I have for improving colour and display of the platform?
These tools help adjust the visual appearance of the platform:
Contrast: Adjusts the site's colour scheme (Invert Colours, Dark Contrast, Light Contrast).
Smart Contrast: Intelligently inverts the colours of specific on-screen elements.
Saturation: Adjusts the colour intensity of the page (Low, High, Desaturate/greyscale).
Which options will assist with navigation and orientation?
These tools help you navigate and focus on the page more easily:
Highlight Links: Makes all clickable links and buttons more prominent.

Cursor: Changes the standard cursor to a larger, more visible one.
Tooltips: Displays text labels for certain on-screen icons and elements when hovered over.
Page Structure: Displays a pop-up showing all headings, landmarks, and links for quick navigation.
Reading Guide: Adds a high-contrast horizontal bar that follows the cursor to help focus on one line of text at a time.
Can I change the language of the GameDay platform?
The widget also functions as a language switcher. To change the display language:
Open the Accessibility Widget.
At the very top of the widget panel, click on the current language (e.g. 'English (Australian)').
Select your preferred language from the extensive list that appears.
The on-screen text, both on the platform and within the widget itself, will automatically translate.

User Management
What is the purpose of User Management in GameDay?
GameDay's User Management feature allows you to view and control who has access to your organisation's GameDay data and features. You can assign roles and permissions to users, enabling collaboration while maintaining the security of your information.
Where can I find the User Management section?
You can find the User Management section by expanding the Account Menu in the top right corner of the screen and then selecting User Management.
What information is required when creating a new user?
When creating a new user, you must provide their first name, last name, email address (which will also serve as their username), mobile phone and the appropriate user role.
What are the different User Roles available in GameDay, and what are their permissions?
There are four main User Roles in GameDay:
- Super User: Has full access to manage all modules, including financial settings and user management. Assumes the role of 'Primary Contact'
- Administrator: Has full access to manage all modules with create, edit, and view access excluding financial settings, billing details and the ability to grant access to other users
- Edit-Only: Can edit, view, and export data but cannot create new records or access financial data.
- Read-Only: Can only view and export data, with no ability to make changes or create new content.
How do I disable access for an existing user?
To disable access for an existing user, navigate to the User Management screen, find the user, click Edit then update the user status to Disabled. The user will no longer be able to log in and access the database.
How do I edit the contact details of an existing user?
As an administrator, you can edit the contact details of existing users by going to User Management, clicking Edit next to the user, make the necessary changes, and click Save. However, to change an admin's email address, you'll need to disable the existing user record and create a new one with the updated email.
How do I grant a new admin user access to my organization?
If you're a Super User, you can grant a new admin user access by going to User Management and clicking Create User. Then, enter the required information, including the appropriate user role, and save. The new user will receive an email to set their password and log in.
If I am part of a hierarchy, can I manage users in organizations below me?
Yes, if you are a Super User you can disable or add administrators to organizations below you in the hierarchy. To do this, log into the relevant organization through GameDay and follow the same process as you would for your own organization.
How do I change the email address used for my GameDay admin account?
If you need to start using a different email address to log in to GameDay, for security reasons, you will need to have a new admin account created for you by an existing administrator of your organisation using the new email address, then the admin account will need to be disabled. See below for help guides that step you through granting and disabling admin access:
How do I know what each user role has access to within my database?
If you're a Super User of a GameDay database, you have the ability to add new users into your database to grant them access, however as part of this process, you need to assign a User Role to each user, which will determine the level of access and permission they are granted.
