Global Settings

Configure language, currency, distance units, sport category, and branding for all your events.

Overview

Global settings define the baseline configuration for your events.gofo.rest account. Settings apply to all your events and merchandise unless overridden at the event level. Configure language, currency, distance units, and your organisation's branding once, and they're applied consistently across all events.

General Settings

Language – Select default language for your dashboard, event pages, and participant communications (English, German, French, etc.).
Currency – Set default currency for all pricing (registration fees, merchandise, shipping). Individual events and regions can override this setting.
Sport Category – Choose your primary sport (running, cycling, orienteering, fitness challenges) to determine default templates and terminology.
Time Format – Display times in 24-hour or 12-hour format across your event pages and results.
Number Format – Set decimal separator (comma or period) for times, distances, and prices.
Distance Unit – Use kilometres or miles for all course distances and GPS-tracked distances in results.
Weight Unit – Kilograms or pounds for merchandise shipping weight calculations.

Organisation Branding

Configure your organisation's visual identity:

Logo Upload – Upload your organisation's logo (PNG, JPG). It appears on your event pages, merchandise invoices, certificates, and the gofo.rest app. You can upload multiple versions for different uses and select which is active.
Logo Placement – Appears in event header, participant emails, printed documents, and the gofo.rest app.
Event Colours – Set default event page colours (accent colour, background). Individual events can override these for unique branding.

Sponsor Management

Upload and manage sponsor logos displayed on your event pages:

Add multiple sponsor logos to support your event.
Sponsors are displayed prominently on public event pages and in the app.
Assign sponsor logos at the event level if sponsorship varies per event.
Download sponsor logo files for your marketing materials.
