NIF (Norwegian Sports Federation) uses branches to link members to different sports and federations. In Spond Club, branches are handled at different levels. For NIF branches to function effectively, it is essential that the membership synchronisation process is followed correctly in Spond Club.
Club Branches
A club registers its branches with NIF in Club Admin. This must be done by the general manager or someone with a senior role in the club.
Adding a Branch to a Group
For members to be assigned a branch, the group they belong to must have a NIF branch. This can be set up when creating the group or edited later.
When new members are added to a group with a predefined NIF branch, they automatically inherit the branch assignment, streamlining the process. This requires that the member has a registered NIF ID in Spond Club.
Go to "Departments and Groups" and select "Edit Group" for the groups that should have a NIF branch. In the NIF branch field, you will see a dropdown list with the branch that is registered to the club in KlubbAdmin.

Updating Branches on Members
A member is assigned a branch based on which groups they belong to. If they are missing a branch, it may be because they are not associated with a group, or the group lacks a NIF branch.
When members come from NIF (members appears under "Members from NIF"), they will be registered with the branch(es) they had at the time they were updated in Spond Club. If they do not have a group association in Spond for the same sport, there will be a discrepancy between the registered branches in NIF and Spond. If the member no longer has this branch, you can remove the branch (this will be recorded with NIF) by clicking the "Remove" button. If they are a member and should have the branch, they must be added to a group that has this branch for synchronization.

If you need to update branches straight away, you can start the synchronisation manually. Go to āSettingsā in the menu and select āSettingsā under āYour Clubā. Under āNIF integrationā, click āSynchronize NIF branches for all membershipā.

The button gives each member the correct branch based on the group they are in. This requires that the member is NIF verified or has a member type that is synchronised with NIF, that the member has been added to a group, and that the group has a NIF branch. If one of these is missing, the member will not get a new branch.

You cannot submit members until a NIF branch has been set for all of your groups. If you have not already done this, go to Departments and groups and edit your groups there.
