The “Explore” shows the users that you provide a rich set of classes. Create web categories for all kinds of classes. If you want them to only show up in the new app, disable “Show on web”. The generation 2 of the app does not support web categories for classes, so if you use that app in parallell the web categories will not be visible there.

Message templates for the info page

• Change or create message templates for the six sections in the information page.
  • Opening hours / Öppettider
  • Info page for mobile applications / Infosida i mobilapplikation (also used in app generation 2)
  • Terms and conditions for internet bookings / Villkor för internetbokning (also used on web)
  • Terms and conditions for cancellation of booking / Villkor för avbokning
  • Terms and conditions for waiting list / Villkor för reservlista
  • Terms and conditions for no-show / Villkor för no-show
• You can create multiple message templates for the same section, depending on language and facility. For example, you can have different opening hours for different facilities, and present them differently depending on the language set on the phone.
• The templates can be plain text or HTML (for rich formatting)

Clear cache to see changes done with BRP Configuration

Both mobile app and web app cache data in the mobile/browser to improve the performance for the user. Some data are cached (message templates, app objects, products, ...) and some are not cached (classes, subscriptions, ...). The most usual cache time is 1 hour. That means that 1 hour is the longest time for a user to get the changed data (mean time is 30 minutes).

You don't want to wait 1 hour to see the changes that you have done with BRP Configuration. That is why you'll need to clean the cache to see the changes. That is done in different ways for the mobile app and web app.

Clean cache in mobile app

1. Do your changes with BRP Configuration.
2. Open the "Go Active!" mobile app.
3. Click on the "Info" tab.
4. Swipe down in the middle of the screen to force the mobile app to clean its cache.
5. You will now be able to see your changes.

Clean cache in web app

1. Do your changes with BRP Configuration.
2. Navigate to the web app on your desktop browser (don't do this from you mobile phone).
3. Right click at the middle of the page and select "Inspect". That opens up the "Developer tools" (1). It might be a tool window to the right or a floating window.
4. Click and hold down left mouse button at the "Reload page" button (2). That will show a dropdown menu with three options.
5. Click the "Empty Cache And Hard Reload" menu item (3).
   
   
   
   
6. You will now be able to see your changes.
