The example below makes a calendar showing only Nippers and Social events. The same steps work for any combination.

Step 1 — open the calendar

Go to the club calendar. You will see every event for the month, and a button marked Filters.

Step 2 — tap Filters and choose what you want

Tap Filters. A panel slides up listing every type of event. Tap Nippers and Social — they turn coloured with a tick to show they are on.

Step 3 — check the list looks right

The calendar now shows only the events you asked for. The Filters button carries a number so you can see a filter is on.

Changed your mind? Tap Clear next to the Filters button to go back to everything.

Step 4 — save it as a PDF

Tap Save as PDF. You will be asked how much of the season you want.

• This month only — just the month you are looking at

• 3 months or 6 months — starting from that month

• Rest of season — everything from that month to the end

Choose one, then tap Save as PDF again. Your phone or computer will ask where to keep the file — on an iPhone choose Save to Files, and on a computer pick Save as PDF as the printer.

What you end up with

A clean sheet with the date, event name, start time and location — colour-coded, and with a line at the top recording which filters you used.

Follow the section for your phone. The pictures below show what to look for — your screen may not look exactly the same, as phones differ, but the buttons are named the same.

iPhone and iPad

You must use Safari for this. It will not work in Chrome on an iPhone.

1. Tap the Share button

It is in the bar at the bottom of the screen and looks like a square with an arrow pointing up out of it.

2. Choose Add to Home Screen

A grey list slides up. Scroll down it until you find Add to Home Screen.

3. Tap Add

You can change the name first if you like. Then tap Add in the top corner.

Android

These steps are for Chrome, which most Android phones use.

1. Tap the three-dot menu

It sits in the top right corner, next to the web address.

2. Choose Install app

Some phones word this as Add to Home screen instead. Either is the right one.

3. Tap Install

You are done

The Trigg Hub icon now sits with your other apps. Tap it any time to open the handbook and calendar.
