As a user on the Players 1st platform, you likely have been invited to a club by someone else and will therefore have to create your own personal account.

In your mailbox, you will receive an email containing a sign-up link that allows you to create your personal account

After filling out the forms on the creation page you will be logged into our platform and your personal account has now been created. To log back into your account in future, use the main Players 1st login page app.players1st.sport.

Please note that the link in the invitation email is only for creating an account and will be invalid after you've created an account or if 30-days have passed since you've been invited. If the invitation email has expired, please email support@players1st.golf to request a new invitation email.

Subscribing to a product will unlock the features and surveys associated with the product, thus instantly allowing you to quickly get started.

Our product portfolio primarily consists of various survey templates and dashboards, developed in collaboration with your union or enterprise. Prices for these products may vary, as some enterprises or unions may cover or subsidize costs for individual clubs.

As a club, you can view all available products by navigating to our subscription and product overview.

After a product has been activated, you immediately gain access to its associated features.

Once you’ve unlocked access to one of our products, you will now be able to edit its settings. For survey-related products, this primarily involved tweaking the questionnaire template to fit your club’s needs

Editing your questionnaire is the most time-consuming aspect of setting up on the Players 1st platform. After navigating to your questionnaire editor, you are presented with all the questions included in the questionnaire.

In the editor, you’ll come across different types of questions:

Any changes to the questionnaire are instantly saved and applied to future respondents. You can preview the questionnaire by click on the “Preview Questionnaire” text at the top of the editor page. Filling out the survey this way will not result in a saved response and therefore it won't affect your real results.

You can read the guide on how to make changes to your questionnaire here:

When asking a respondent to answer a survey you will in most cases be sending out an email from our platform asking them to answer the survey. You can customize the majority of the content of that email, but some will remain locked to ensure that we comply with data processing laws in different countries. The feature below the email editor, you can also send yourself a test email to see how the email looks in your email client.

Collecting response for the first time marks a big milestone and can be scary in some way. We’ve created an article that outlines the steps to take before sending out a survey and provide guidance on choosing the appropriate collection method. The above video demonstrates how to create a data collection but does not cover the other collection methods.

As responses from your survey start to tick in, your dashboards will update in real-time. Analyzing and understand how to get the most out of your dashboard is a wider topic and therefore we've created help desk sections just for it.
