# What is the Guardian Portal?
> The Guardian Portal is the family side of Uplifter: one sign-in for all your athletes at every club in your country, with your schedule, invoices, waivers and more.
**Must know**
* **One sign-in for every club in your country** (the US or Canada). A club in the other country needs a separate account with a different email ([why](/families/families-getting-started/why-cant-i-use-my-account-at-a-club-in-another-country)).
* **Who you can see.** Your own athlete profile, every athlete in your families, and any athlete someone has shared with you (only the parts they shared).
* **Registering and waivers.** You register, and buy your first membership or pass, on your club's website. Waivers can be signed in either place.
* **One medical record.** It follows your athlete to every club.
**What it is.** The Guardian Portal (these help pages call it the family portal) is the family side of Uplifter, where you keep up with your family's clubs: sign in once to see all your athletes, even at different clubs in the same country. Knew it as the Athletes Portal? It's the same place under a new name, and old links, even in past emails, open the right page.
**What it opens on.** The **Dashboard** greets you with **Hey \[your first name]** and shows your next class, action items (**Pay**, **Review & sign**, **Update info**), membership alerts, each athlete's **Attendance**, **Streak** and **Skills**, and a **This week** list. With two or more athletes, **Viewing** filters it by athlete. See [What's on my family dashboard?](/families/families-getting-started/whats-on-my-family-dashboard). The bell at the top right holds club [announcements](/families/families-following/club-announcements-in-the-bell).
**The menu.** On a computer, it's on the left.
| Menu item | What it is for |
| - | - |
| **Dashboard**, **Athletes** | Your starting page, and a card per athlete |
| **Family** | People, invitations and **Shared access** ([What is a family?](/families/families-household/what-is-a-family)) |
| **Registrations**, **Applications** | Registrations, and requests to join approval-based programs |
| **Waivers** | Signed waivers by club, with **View** and **Download PDF** |
| **Schedule**, **Memberships** | Your athletes' classes and events; memberships, renewals and payment status |
| **Invoices** | Every charge billed to you |
| **Gift Cards**, **Punch Cards** | Cards you hold |
| **Billing Details** | Payment methods, contacts, addresses and upcoming payments |
| **Chat**, **Settings** | Messages with clubs and coaches; your profile, phone, email preferences and signature |
**Memberships** appears only if a club of yours uses memberships or passes. **Punch Cards** appears only if one uses punch cards. Press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K to search athletes, programs, action items and menu pages.
**On a phone.** The bottom bar has **Dashboard**, **Athletes**, **Chat** and **More**. Everything else, plus **Sign out**, is under **More**.
**Who you can see.** Only these athletes:
* Your own athlete profile, if you have one.
* Every athlete in a family where you are a **Family owner**, **Co-manager** or **Guardian**, which can include another adult's children.
* Athletes shared with you through **Shared access**: only the shared parts, sometimes only at certain clubs, until it ends. It never includes signing waivers.
* Athletes you were a guardian for before Uplifter added families, unless that access was removed.
Missing one? Ask that family's owner or a co-manager to invite you.
**The Athletes page.** Each card on **My athletes** has **Skills**, **Achievements**, **Attendance**, **Evaluations** and **Medical**, plus **View profile** for the athlete's full page, from **Progress** to **History** ([What's on my athlete's page?](/families/families-following/whats-on-my-athletes-page)). **Add Athlete** adds one to a family of yours. An athlete added here shows **No organization** until you register them. One added on a club's website joins that club right away. **Combine duplicates** appears when you have two or more athletes you can [combine yourself](/families/families-getting-started/combine-duplicate-athletes).
**Invoices.** This page leaves out drafts, cancelled invoices and history imported from a previous system. Open one marked **Due soon**, **Overdue** or **Failed** to [pay it](/families/families-payments-billing/pay-an-order-that-is-due-or-overdue). If it needs waivers, sign them first, and then **Pay this order** appears.
**Registering and waivers.** Registering, and a first membership, pass or punch card purchase, happen on your club's website. You can also sign waivers here: on a registration's **Waivers** card, on an invoice, or on the **One more thing** screen after sign-in. Signed copies are under [Waivers](/families/families-getting-started/find-signed-waivers).
One record serves all of an athlete's clubs, so its form shows every club's questions under **Additional Questions**, headed by club name when more than one asks.
The menu has no link to it. On the **Dashboard**, **See all programs** and each program card under **Discover new programs at \[club name]** open the club's website, if it has a published one. Otherwise, go to your club's web address.
On your club's Uplifter address (ending in .uplifter.app), one sign-in covers both. On your club's own web address you can register and check out right there. Signing in passes briefly through Uplifter's sign-in page and brings you back.
