Invitation Codes / Inviting New Users
What is an Invitation or Invitation Code?
- An Invitation or an Invitation Code is a 10 letter random code that is linked to a specific team in the system. The invitation can be used to create a new GameSheet Teams account or to update an existing account with access to that particular team.
Who are they for?
- Invitation Codes are designed for Coaches and Managers to access teams. They can be reused and they do not expire.
How do I accept an invitation code?
On GameSheet Teams (For Managers & Coaches)
If you don't already have a GameSheet account, create a new account by following these steps:
- Go to https://teams.gamesheet.app and click "Signup"
- Fill in the Invitation Code and click "Continue."
- Note that the invitation code is 10 characters long and is composed of random numbers and letters. If you did not receive an invitation code, contact your league administrator.
- Verify that the correct team is listed, and click "Continue."
- Fill in the required fields and click "Create Account"
If you already have a GameSheet account, accept your invitation by following these steps:
- Sign in to the GameSheet Teams using your existing account credentials.
- Tap "More" in the bottom right hand corner on mobile, or click your email address in the top left corner on Desktop.
- Click on "Accept Invitation" from the menu.
- Paste the invitation code into the field and click "Continue."
- Verify that the correct team is listed, and click "Continue."
- There are 2 options to choose from:
- Do you want to add this team as a New and Separate Team?
- If this is the case, then select the option "Without Linking".
- If you'd like to link this team to another team that you already have access to then select the option to "Link to an Existing Team".
- Select the team from the drop down list to "link" to.
- Linked teams will have their rosters synced
- Example: A team uses GameSheet for their regular season. The team plays in a tournament that also uses GameSheet. These teams should be linked.
- Do you want to add this team as a New and Separate Team?
How are Invitation Codes created?
- The Invitation Codes are automatically generated whenever a new team is created in the system. The level of access / rights is set to "Manager" by default.
Where are team Invitation Codes found?
- Each team's Invitation Code in the system is listed on both the Season's Teams page and the Divisions' Teams page.
How are the codes distributed to the appropriate individuals?
- To distribute invitation codes for multiple teams in your season, click "Download Invitation Codes" on the Season's Teams and Divisions' Teams pages. This will download a CSV file with the names of all of the teams that a user has access to in their season. This file can be shared to provide teams with their invite codes.
- The codes can be highlighted and copied directly to the teams or distributed through a Club / Association contact person. It is up to the League Administration to distribute the codes, either directly to the teams or through the Club / Association contacts.
Pro Tips
- Only share a team's invitation code with the people who should have access to that team. Do not share all of the invitation codes with all of the teams.
- Copy and paste the codes for each association and email them separately to the association contact. Have them distribute to each team
