v1.4.5

2026-05-19

New Feature Improved CPSA Lookup Accuracy: The CPSA member lookup now handles a wider range of number formats — including country prefixes (EE, WW, SS, II) and suffix-letter numbers such as II832L — with more reliable exact-match logic to avoid misidentified classifications.
New Feature Shoot Report with Smart Insights: A new Shoot Report is available from the GroundAdmin panel. Filter by date range, view occupancy trends, booking type breakdowns, and a set of AI-generated Smart Insights that surface patterns in your data automatically.
Update Sheet View Default on Mobile: The booking page now automatically opens in the compact Sheet view on mobile devices, making it faster to scan squads and availability at a glance.
Update Collapsible Ground Info Panel: Ground information (location, map, contact details) is now tucked away by default. On desktop a « tab on the right edge expands a smooth sidebar; on mobile a tap reveals the panel above the squads.
Update Various Booking Page UI Improvements: A range of visual refinements across the booking page, including wider squad cards on desktop to prevent text truncation, corrected badge sizing on CPSA days so shooter names are always visible, and consistent button sizing for admin controls on mobile.

Update Click the Waitlist to See the Queue: When a squad is full and shooters are on the waitlist, the waitlist badge on the Squad Full banner is now clickable — opening a panel showing each person's name, email, and when they joined the queue.
Update Ground Billing & Plan Management: Tiered billing is now live. GroundAdmins can view their current plan, see a full billing history, and manage plan changes from the new Billing page in the Admin Panel. Grounds are automatically assigned a tier on sign-up.
