Navigation tips for power users
StandShare URLs are designed to be bookmarkable, shareable, and predictable. If you coordinate across multiple organizations or want to send someone directly to the right page, these patterns save time.
Deep links with tab parameters
Several pages use ?tab= in the URL to control which tab is active. You can bookmark these or paste them into a chat to send someone straight to the right section.
| URL | Opens |
|---|---|
/admin/users?tab=roles | Users page → Roles tab |
/admin/users?tab=groups | Users page → Groups tab |
/messages?tab=inbox | Messages → Inbox |
/messages?tab=sent | Messages → Sent |
/messages?tab=announcements | Messages → Announcements |
/messages?tab=compose | Messages → Compose a new message |
Tab parameters are preserved when you navigate away and come back using the browser's back button.
Events page filter state in the URL
The Events page stores its filter state in the URL. When you apply a search, status filter, or change pages, the URL updates automatically:
| Parameter | Example | Effect |
|---|---|---|
?search= | /events?search=spring | Pre-filters by keyword |
?status= | /events?status=active | Shows only events with that status |
?page= | /events?page=2 | Opens a specific page |
?periodId= | /ledger?periodId=abc123 | Shows a specific ledger period |
Copy the URL from your browser's address bar to share a filtered view with another admin. The recipient sees exactly what you see.
Shareable links that work for logged-out users
If you share a StandShare URL with someone who is not signed in, StandShare redirects them to the login page and remembers the destination. After they sign in, they land on the page you linked — not the Dashboard.
This means you can paste a direct link to an event, a scholarship, or a settings page in an email or group chat and it works even if the recipient needs to log in first.
Org switching for multi-org users
If you belong to more than one organization (for example, a family that volunteers across two booster clubs), you can switch between them without signing out.
- Click your avatar in the top-right corner.
- In the dropdown, you will see your current organization name. Click it (or click Switch Organization if listed).
- Choose the org you want to switch to.
StandShare refreshes your session tokens and redirects you to the new org's Dashboard at new-org.standshare.app/dashboard. Your login session stays active — no password re-entry needed.
If you find yourself switching frequently, set a default organization in your profile settings. That org opens automatically when you sign in.
Old URLs that still work
StandShare maintains redirects for renamed or reorganized pages. If you have bookmarks to older paths, they still work:
| Old path | Redirects to |
|---|---|
/admin/events | /events |
/admin/roles | /admin/users?tab=roles |
/admin/groups | /admin/users?tab=groups |
/announcements | /messages?tab=announcements |
/leaderboard | /directory |
/library | /documents |
/profile | /settings |
You do not need to update old bookmarks — but if you are sharing links with others, use the current paths so the URLs stay clean.
Sorting and searching in tables
Admin tables throughout StandShare support:
- Click-to-sort on column headers. Click once for ascending, again for descending.
- Global search — the search box at the top of the table filters across all searchable columns.
- Column picker (on some tables) — a control that lets you show or hide columns so you only see what matters for the task at hand.
No keyboard shortcuts (yet)
StandShare does not currently have global keyboard shortcuts or a command palette. The search bar (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K) in the help center is the closest equivalent. If keyboard shortcuts are added in the future, they will be documented on the Keyboard Shortcuts reference page.
