Running more than one allotment site

One Allotmin account can look after several allotment sites. This suits federations, councils, and any committee that runs more than one piece of ground.

Adding one

Use the account menu at the top right — Add a site.

As soon as you have two, a site switcher appears in that same menu, and an overview page showing all of them side by side.

If you only have one site, none of this shows up at all and Allotmin looks exactly as it did before.

What is separate

Almost everything. Each site has its own:

• plots, members and waiting list
• billing year and rent
• charges, concessions and reminder settings
• public sign-up link
• website
• inspections, keys and deposits

Plot numbers only need to be unique within a site, so both your sites can have a plot 1.

What is shared

Your account-level settings, your email templates and sender profiles, your member groups and your people. These describe your association rather than any one piece of ground.

Email templates can be pinned to a single site if one of them only makes sense there.

You are always looking at one site

There is no "all sites" view, on purpose. Whatever you are looking at — members, plots, money — belongs to the site you have selected, so a figure on screen is never a total of two places you were not expecting. Allotmin remembers which site you were last in.

The one screen that shows everything at once is the site overview, which gives you a card per site.

A member who has plots on two sites

They are two member records, one on each site. That is deliberate — the two sites may have different committees, different rent and different rules, and joining them would mean neither could be looked after on its own.

Removing one

A site you added by mistake can be taken away again — see deleting a site.

What it costs

There is a charge for each site after the first. See the pricing page for the current figure.
