This allows you to customise the Bulletin Name that is given to each Bulletin when a bulletin is auto-generated.
To change the auto generated bulletin name:
Edit the Scorebook, goto Scorebook Settings
Go to Bulletin Settings
Find the "Bulletin Name Template" input
Add your Bulletin Name Template using the Available Variables and Filters
Click Save
If left blank the default Bulletin Name is the current time and date using the following format:
12:56pm, 05th Mar 2014
This will be used when the Bulletin Name Template cannot be compiled or no Bulletin Name Template is set.
Available Merge Tags
Under the hood a "Scorebook" is known as a "board" and a Bulletin is known as a "release". The merge tags you can use are:
{{ release.period_start }}
{{ release.period_end }}
{{ release.release_time }}
{{ board.board_timezone }}

Characters to use when Date Formatting
You can format exactly how you want the date to look by applying date formatting characters to a merge tag.
For example, "Week {{ release.period_end | date ('W - Y')}}" might translate to "Week 03 - 2014" depending on which week of the year the score period end falls in.
