FAQs

This section of your Campus Settings lets you manage how clubs operate on your campus. You can control sales restrictions, feature access, bank details, and cash payment settings.

Club Controls & Restrictions

Club Types define the categories available for student execs when creating a club on your campus. This allows your union to organize clubs by type and helps students find clubs that match their interests.

Managing Club Types

This section of your Campus Settings allows you to control how students log in, what information they provide, and how their data is accessed.

The Forms Manager is where you can create, edit, group, and manage all types of forms across your student organisation. Whether it's for grant applications, case management, or general data collection - it all starts here.

Forms Manager Overview

The Forms Manager allows you to create custom forms for clubs, societies, or general users, from grant applications to general feedback forms.

Creating and Publishing a Form

Once a form is created, you can edit it, duplicate it, share it with students or clubs, or adjust its approval/rejection email templates. You can also activate or deactivate a form, depending on whether it’s ready to go live or still in draft.


Editing and Managing Existing Forms

All general form submissions appear in a dashboard under Forms > Submissions. This dashboard allows you to review, approve, reject, and manage all responses in one place - eliminating the need for back-and-forth emails with clubs or students.

Clubs Directory

The Clubs Directory is a list of all clubs on campus - affiliated or not - that can be embedded on your website. It lets students explore and discover clubs easily while driving more traffic to your student body’s site.

Managing the Clubs' Directory

Event Approval

Event Approval in Rubric ensures all club- or student-led events meet your organisation’s standards before being promoted or ticketed. It helps you maintain compliance with your policies, safety requirements, and venue guidelines, all in one streamlined process.

Affiliation and Renewal

The Affiliation module is where you set up the affiliation and re-affiliation forms and processes that clubs must complete to become (or remain) officially recognised by your student union. It also allows you to manage and review submissions efficiently.
