Beta Status: CourtReserve Pulse: Settings Tab

Customize Which Tabs and Metrics Are Visible in Your Pulse Dashboard

Written by Mari Bern

This feature is currently in Beta status, meaning it is actively being tested and refined before a full release. It is not available to all organizations. Access is limited to clubs in CourtReserve's Early Access Groups. To request access, contact our Customer Success team via live chat or email.

INTRODUCTION

Feature Summary: The Settings tab in CourtReserve Pulse gives administrators control over what appears in the dashboard. You can show or hide entire tabs from the navigation, and independently control which KPI cards are visible within each tab. These settings let you tailor Pulse to reflect how your club actually operates — hiding tabs or metrics that are not relevant to your setup and keeping the dashboard focused on what matters most.

Use Cases:

  • Hide the Instructors tab entirely if your club does not have teaching staff

  • Remove KPI cards that are not relevant to your club's current reporting needs

  • Simplify the dashboard view for clubs that only want to focus on a subset of metrics

  • Quickly reset visibility across all metrics using Show All or Hide All


OVERVIEW

The Settings tab is organized into two sections: Tab Visibility and Dashboard Metrics Visibility. Both sections are on the same page and work independently of each other.

Important: Settings apply globally across your entire CourtReserve Pulse dashboard. They are not personalized per system user — changes made here affect what every admin and sub-admin with Pulse access sees when they log in.


Navigation

  1. Log in to your CourtReserve admin panel.

  2. In the left navigation menu, select Dashboard.

  3. Select the Settings tab.


Tab Visibility

The Tab Visibility section controls which tabs appear in the Pulse navigation. Each of the five metric tabs has an individual toggle:

  • Financials

  • Utilization

  • Engagement

  • Demographics

  • Instructors

When a tab is toggled off, it disappears from the navigation bar entirely — for all users. When toggled back on, it reappears immediately.

Why It Matters: Not every club uses every feature in CourtReserve. Hiding tabs that are not relevant to your club keeps the dashboard clean and reduces confusion for staff who may not need that data.


Examples of When to Turn a Tab Off

Instructors — The most common tab to hide. If your club does not have teaching staff, does not offer private lessons, and does not use the instructor scheduling features in CourtReserve, the Instructors tab will show little to no data. Hiding it keeps the dashboard focused on the areas that actually reflect your club's operations. Example shown here:

Demographics — Some smaller clubs or newer CourtReserve accounts may not yet have enough player data to make the Demographics tab meaningful. Hiding it temporarily until your player base grows is a reasonable choice.

Utilization — Clubs that operate primarily as membership-only facilities with no open court reservation system may find court utilization metrics less actionable. Hiding this tab keeps the focus on membership and engagement data instead.

For example: A recreational club with 50 members, no paid instructors, and a single court may choose to enable only Financials and Engagement — keeping the dashboard tightly focused on revenue and member activity, the two metrics most relevant to how they operate day-to-day.


Dashboard Metrics Visibility

The Dashboard Metrics Visibility section controls which individual KPI cards are visible within each tab. This is independent of Tab Visibility — a tab can be visible in the navigation while showing only a subset of its available metrics.


How It Works

Metrics are grouped by tab. Each group shows a count of how many metrics are currently visible out of the total available — for example, Financials 3/6 means three of six Financials metrics are currently shown.

Click the arrow next to any group to expand it and see the individual metric toggles. Each metric has a toggle to show or hide it. You can also use the Show all or Hide all link next to each group to reset all metrics in that group at once.

At the top of the section, a count shows the total number of visible metrics across all tabs — for example, "23 of 26 metrics visible."

Example before and after "hiding" three financial metrics:

Before (all six metrics are shown):

Three metrics are hidden:

Search

A Search bar at the top of the Dashboard Metrics Visibility section allows you to find a specific metric by name across all tab groups without manually expanding each one.


Examples of When to Hide Individual Metrics

Hiding individual metrics is useful when a specific KPI is not actionable or meaningful for your club's setup, even if the rest of the tab is relevant.

Outstanding Balances — If your club does not use membership billing or recurring invoicing, this metric will always show $0 and adds no value. Hiding it keeps the Financials tab cleaner.

Revenue per Available Hour (RevPAH) — Clubs with very few courts or non-standard bookable schedules may find this metric misleading if their court availability is not fully configured in CourtReserve. Hiding it avoids confusion until the configuration is in place.

Median DUPR — If the majority of your players do not have linked DUPR accounts, the Median DUPR card reflects a small and potentially unrepresentative sample. Hiding it until your DUPR coverage improves keeps the Demographics KPI row focused on more complete data.

Member Growth Rate — Very small clubs with a stable, long-term membership base may find this metric less useful on a month-to-month basis. Hiding it reduces noise on the Engagement tab for clubs where membership count rarely changes.

For example: A club that hides Outstanding Balances, Revenue per Available Hour, and Median DUPR would show "23 of 26 metrics visible" in the Dashboard Metrics Visibility header — a quick indicator that the dashboard has been customized without fully auditing every setting.
