TECH TIP: Setting Up Contacts For Your Account

Setting Up Contacts For Your Account

In our Newcomers Club, membership is at the household level; yearly membership dues are charged to the household, not to each individual.

This is also true in our web-based membership system: each household has a single account. Within each account, one login (email/password) is designated as the primary contact. The primary contact can perform account level administration, such as:

• Pay membership dues online
• Set the directory photo (encouraged!)
• View the history of registrations and payments
• Create additional contacts

However, all contacts, including the primary contact and any additional contacts, can perform many actions on the website, such as:

• Register one or multiple attendees for events such as general meetings
• Pay online for general meetings or special events
• Sign up for interest groups
• View the event calendar, the member directory and all other sections of the website

To create an additional contact, the primary contact can log into the website and perform the following steps:

1. Go the ABOUT YOU page
2. Click the Contacts tab
3. Click Add New Contact
4. Enter the contact's full Name and Email address
5. Enter their Phone or Mobile number (optional) - all other fields should normally be left empty
6. Clear the red circle to deselect Do not show this in my public profile (assuming that it's OK for other members to see this contact)
7. Click SAVE
8. Click SAVE & CONTINUE
