This tool provides administrators for the Chester County Antique Automobile Club to administer data belonging to
the club.
The club organizes the application fee by family. Typically there will be a primary member that fills out the
application. On the application they can list other
members in their household they wish to include such as spouses/significant others and children. Much of the
data (address, contact, cars, app data, etc.) on this tool
is centered around a family that signed up. Some choices, like Executive Committee, Directors, and Committee
Assignments allow selecting from all family members. The rest
of this document helps assist in discovering how this tool is organized and can be used to administer this
information.
This tool is best used on desktop computer monitor that can display a web browser at least 1024px wide.
The site is organized as tabs with categorized functions available. The tabs are described below.

display of the data is displayed with various actions that can be performed as described below.

as a drop down on mobile devices. These are the main categories of data that can be viewed, created, edited,
and in most cases removed. Clicking on a Data Item will retrieve and display it's viewable content in the
