===Staff/Employee Logins and Permissions===

Many settings in this area have been preset based on your individual configuration with ChamberMaster. You may not have to change any selections shown here.  Contact [[Main_Page|Customer Support]] if you are unsure of the effect of changes. If making any changes, please record the current settings '''before''' making any modifications.
Our support team will provide your initial login name and password for a single staff person. Additional login names and passwords may be created at your convenience under '''Setup''' > '''Employees/Reps'''. Default address, phone number and email address information for each staff person are modified here as well.
 
  
You will assign a certain level of permission to your staff based on their need for access to financial information, administration tools and basic member information.

Getting Started

When your ChamberMaster software if first installed, one or more users will be designated as Administrator. These individuals should ensure that your database is configured with some basic settings. As you continue using your software, you may desire to customize many different settings such as Custom Fields, Online Event Calendar preferences, and Member Information Center options.

If you are just getting started with Admin Tasks, watch this 32 minute overview video Vid.png

Configuring Basics

The ChamberMaster/MemberZone support team works with your association as your data is converted and imported. Many items will already be customized to you. However, having a comfort level with viewing these selections and knowing where to change them if needed may be desired.

Four areas are commonly referenced in the first weeks of using your software:

  • Business Information (association name & address etc)
  • General Options (integration settings)
  • Employees/Reps (staff login names and passwords)
  • Business Categories (member online directory categories)

Setup Organization Information


Information in these fields will be the default business information displayed within your software and on certain integrated web pages. This information should be populated on initial setup of your database, and anytime your contact information (address, email, etc.) or your logo changes.

  1. Click Setup in the left-hand navigation bar.
  2. Click Association Information in the Association Options area.
    General Assocation Info CP.JPG
  3. Edit the desired fields on the General Association Information screen.
    • Ensure your association's name and address is complete and accurate. This address is used where addresses are automatically pulled from the database. For example - it will be used on the default invoice template.
    • Select the correct country and time zone.
    • Update your phone numbers and website.
    • Enter in your association's generic email address. NOTE: This email is used when automatic emails are sent from the database as the from address, as well as when your organization's email is merged as a database field, such as on on invoice templates.
    • Upload your association's logo for display at various places through the software. See Upload Your Logo for details.
  4. Click Save.


Your association logo will appear at designated areas throughout your integrated website and in the Member Information Center if you have it uploaded. If using Integrated Billing, it will also display automatically on default Invoice templates.

  1. Click Setup in the left-hand menu.
  2. Click Organization Information.
  3. Click the + (plus sign) in the Business Logo area.
    Upload your logo-AdminTasks.1.57.1.jpg
  4. Click the + (plus sign) to browse your drive for the desired image.
    Note: The folder path that is displayed here is not significant and is not accessible at this time at any other location in the software. Future plans are that these images should be accessible at a common location so they can be used throughout the software. This folder is not visible in the Cloud Drive at this time. You are not able to navigate up to any other folder from this location.
    Upload your logo-AdminTasks.1.57.2.jpg
  5. Once you’ve selected (clicked) the desired image, click Upload.
  6. Click OK on the successful message.
    Upload your logo-AdminTasks.1.57.3.jpg
  7. Click the desired image Name in the list.
  8. Click Select.
    Upload your logo-AdminTasks.1.57.4.jpg
  9. Position the selection window around the area of the image that you’d like displayed.
    Upload your logo-AdminTasks.1.57.5.jpg
  10. Click Crop & Save.
  11. Click Save Changes.

General Options & Settings

Many settings in this area have been preset based on your individual configuration with ChamberMaster. You may not have to change any selections shown here. Contact Customer Support if you are unsure of the effect of changes. If making any changes, please record the current settings before making any modifications.

    Gen Options and Settings CP.JPG

General Settings

  • Auto-update representative contact information when updating members': This will default to on for new associations. Existing associations will have to check to select this option so that individual representative information will automatically update when matching member information General tab is updated. When the member's address, primary phone or fax number is updated and it exactly matches the representative's address, work phone or fax then the matching representative(s) field(s) will be updated as well.
  • Send automatic email notification to member when their submission for deals/jobs/events/news etc is approved: Defaulted to on. Members will receive an automatic email when staff sets their submission to Approved. No notice is sent if a submission is disabled or deleted. The email is sent to the following email address based on this criteria:
  • Member created the content, no primary rep designated: Member is recipient.
  • Member created the content, 1 or more primary rep designated: Primary rep(s) is recipient.
  • Rep created the content: rep is recipient
Note: if a valid email address is not associated with the rep or member, then no email will be sent.
  • Default Member Status: When new members are created by clicking the Add button on the toolbar, the Status drop-down will have the default status selected here. Choices are: Active, Courtesy, Non-Member, Prospective, or Dropped.
  • Newsletter Solution: If you have a subscription to Constant Contact, select Constant Contact. This will display Constant Contact menu choices within ChamberMaster/MemberZone. Note: Also complete the Constant Contact section in the Add-On Manager area below.
  • Active Social Network Services: This will display the Social Networks that you have enabled. Click the edit social network services link to add or delete social networks.
  • Allow representatives to create a login/password from the Login screen: When this option is selected, a No Log-in created? Sign Up Now link will be displayed on the MIC log-in page. After clicking to Sign up now, the rep enters their email address. If their email address exists in your database, on only rep, a verification email is sent to that address where the Create Account link is provided. Last Name is requested if the rep email exists more than once on a single member. If their email address does not exist in your database, they are advised to contact your organization for additional information.
  • Redirect /login page to the https:// secure version: With the January 2017 release of Chrome version 56, we are making an SSL login page available for your members - to be enabled at your discretion. As a trusted voice to your membership, we are allowing you to enable this secure login page when you desire since we realize that a redirect from a familiar login page to a different-looking login page could cause concern without proper warning.
  • Use drop-down lookup list that is optimized for a larger number of records: Select this option if you wish to use the type-ahead search result that not only displays results that match the "start of the record" but also displays those that match 'any part of the record name".

Enable Social Network Services

You can select with Social Network Services you wish to enable for your members under General Options & Settings.

  1. Click Setup in the left-hand navigation panel.
  2. Click General Options & Settings in the Association Options section.

Email Server Settings


Email Relay Service:

SPF Record Check.JPG

In Outlook (or whatever email program you use), include your association’s unique archive address as a BCC. The software will look at the address sent/replied to and place it on the communication history of the associated member. Emails with addresses that are not recognized will still be archived but placed under Communication > Manage Unmatched Archive Emails where you can go to view and manually match them to the appropriate member. Vid.png View a video showing how to archive an email

Emails Letters and Mailing Lists-Archive emails (record) in the database even whe-Communication.1.004.2.jpg

In the example above, this email will be recorded on the member record that has the email address of Joshua.johnson@gvpiping.com

One Row.png

NOTE::
  • To use the archive feature, you must be sending the email from an email address that is listed as a staff email address.
  • Emails forwarded or cc'd to archive@youraname when multiple members/reps in your database share the same recipient address will be recorded in Communication > Unmatched Archive Emails.
  • In cases where there are two reps with an identical email address that belong to the same member, it will be recorded on that member’s history.
  • In cases where two reps with identical email address belong to two different members, the archived email will still go to the unmatched archive email list.


SPF Record check prior to sending email: Select this setting if you have properly configured your SPF record with the appropriate entry. See details on how to do that here. If this setting is enabled, emails that are sent through your database will only be sent on to the recipients after being checked against your SPF record. Having this extra check against the SPF record will eliminate scenarios where someone maliciously sends an email making it look like the email came from you but really was sent from another IP address. This extra check will verify that the sender of the email is truly from your domain.

Opt Out Messages


Opt-out message display at the bottom of emails sent from groups. Default messages have been configured for you, but you may customize them as needed. Setup > General Options & Settings > Email Relay Service.

Disclaimers.JPG


  • Internal Email Disclaimer:appear on emails sent from inside the database, typically emails sent from you to your members.  Disclaimers do not appear on the bottom of emails sent using the “Send with Outlook” selection.
  • Public Email Disclaimer: Click Here for details of the Public Email Disclaimer messages.

Add-on Manager

  • API Access: An Application Programming Interface (API) is available to 3rd party developers that wish to create their own applications from your database. If you have someone wanting to develop a special-use application for you, contact support@growthzone.com to receive a unique API key for your developer and the API documentation. Access is only granted to a 3rd party developer with your express permission.
  • AccuWeather: If you will include the weather module on your web-site, enter the zip-code to be used in gathering weather information.
  • ConstantContact Integration Setup: If you have a subscription to Constant Contact, record your subscription login and password here. Having the login credentials recorded here will allow automatic opening to your Constant Contact account from certain menu selections in ChamberMaster/MemberZone. For example: Communication-> Newsletters/Email Campaigns. To also allow ChamberMaster/MemberZone to automatically update your Constant Contact lists, select one or both of the synch checkboxes. See Enable Constant Contact Synchronization for more information.
  • Fax Solution: If you have a subscription to an Internet Fax Service, select that here and record the appropriate email addresses. These settings allow you to configure ChamberMaster/MemberZone to use your fax server. When sending letters, and designating that communication is delivered via fax, the appropriate output will be sent to your selected email fax service who in turn will deliver it to your fax recipients.
  • LiveEdit: If you are using LiveEdit as your Content Management System, record your login credentials here. This will place a shortcut button on your toolbar to allow quick access to edit your website. See Enable LiveEdit button for more information.
  • Votility Integration Settings: If your organization uses Votility you can integrate your Votility account with your ChamberMaster or GrowthZone account. This provides a more seamless experience for your members by enabling them to access Votility directly through the Member Information Center without them ever needing to create a separate login or account on Votility. (requires Member Information Center v4). To integrate Votility you simply need to supply two pieces of information from your Votility account: Your Votility Organization ID and your Votility API Access Key. To find this information, log into votility enterprise management and use the navigation links on the left to find the "API Settings" page. From that page, copy your Organization ID and API Access Key to these boxes and click the Update button. This will complete your integration, enabling a link to Votility in the Member Information Center for your members and an Administrator login link on the backoffice dashboard.

Security & Privacy Settings

Within the Security & Privacy Settings you can set optional password requirements as well as configure optional terms and conditions that your members must agree to to apply for membership and access the MIC. These settings are optional and comply with GDPR.

Configure Password Requirements


Password requirements are optional. If enabled, these settings are enforced at all locations where passwords are created for member logins (i.e. MIC login page, Membership Application, Event Registrations, etc).

    • Set the number of days after which a member must change password in the After "x" days text box.
    • Set an exact date on which the member must change password in the On a specific date text box. Using this option might be beneficial if you have made recent changes to your password requirements, and want to ensure that all members are forced to update their credentials by a specific date.
    • Set Password Reuse: If you to ensure that the new passwords created by the user are unique, you can set the number of previous passwords that may not be reused in the Do not allow reuse of the last <1-4> password text box. Valid values are 1, 2, 3, 4.
    NOTE: When Force Password Expiration settings are enabled, the user will be given the option to reset their password as soon as they are notified, or they will be able to click ‘’’Later’’’. If ‘’’Later’’’ is selected, the next time the user logs in, they will be prompted to change their password and will see the number of times they can hit later again.
  7. Click Save if you have made changes.


Smallest.png

NOTE: In addition to setting password requirements, when Enable Password Requirements is checked, all locations where a password reset link is sent out, an expiration is set on the link (24 hours), with the exception of the initial email sent to a new representative with instructions to create their user name and password.

Configure User Agreement/Privacy Policy


You can configure an optional user agreement/privacy policy that your members must accept prior to submitting a membership application. This is optional and complies with GDPR. Additionally if enabled, members logging into the MIC, the first time after the policy was enabled, must agree to the terms of the agreement prior to accessing the MIC.

Updating your User Agreement/Privacy Policy


When a member or applicant accepts the privacy policy, the database will record the date/time of agreement and version of agreement agreed to, IP address and browser version. In the future, when edits are made to your policy text, you'll be asked if you want users to be prompted to agree to your new edited version if they have already accepted a previous version. This allows you to make typo corrections without requiring another agreement from your member. To view who has agreed and to what agreement version, view the Privacy Policy/User Agreement report.

If answering Yes, this will prompt users that have already agreed, to agree again. No, will not prompt only those users who have not yet agreed to the privacy policy.

Privacy Policy/User Agreement Report


The Privacy Policy/User Agreement Report provides a way for staff to see who has agreed to your policy (and to what version of the policy, etc). The report can also be a source for viewing if someone had agreed to an older version of the policy, in case there is a dispute. The report may be filtered on member status, rep status and agreement version date.

Staff/Employee Logins and Permissions

Our support team will provide your initial login name and password for a single staff person. Additional login names and passwords may be created at your convenience under Setup > Employees/Reps. Default address, phone number and email address information for each staff person are modified here as well.

Add Top Level Directory Categories


Top Level Business Categories are used to group related members by their business type. Categories should be broad enough to encompass multiple members but specific enough that visitors can drill down to the member that they're looking for.

Smallest.png

NOTE: If you are just getting started with the ChamberMaster/MemberZone software and you have provided directory categories, the GrowthZone support team will import your business directory categories and maintain their association with the designated member(s). On a go forward, these categories are under your control and may be modified at your convenience. After the initial import, it is also a great idea to double-check the categories and view the entire structure including sub-categories and associated QuickLinks, which may be new to your member business directory and thus may not currently be assigned.

  2. Click Define Directory Categories in the Member Options area.
  3. Click the Add a New Top-Level Category.
  4. Enter the name of the category in the New Category Name text box.

For example, for restaurants, you could specify an attribute group called "Cuisine Type" with attribute tags of "Italian", "American", "Mexican", etc. and another group for "Average Entree" price. You Member Directory can then be searched by these attributes.

NOTE: Attributes will only display on the public website for those with 3.0 SEO website modules but staff with any website module version may enter and apply these to your members, allowing preparation of your member data prior to upgrading to the 3.0 modules. Not sure which version you have? Select "View Website Integration Instructions" from your Dashboard. Your module version will display in the heading at the top of the screen. Contact Customer Support for assistance or with questions.

  1. Select Setup in the left-hand navigation panel.
  2. Click Define Directory Categories in the Member Options section.

What is an email fax service?

An email fax service, sometimes known as an internet fax service, provides it’s subscribers with ability to receive their faxes via email and typically allows the reverse as well -- sending of emails out to fax machines. This service bridges the gap between the older technology of fax machines, well-established in the business environment and the newer technology of documents transmitted via email.
In the simplest terms, when you sign up with an email fax service, you will be assigned a dedicated fax phone number that will convert incoming faxes to email attachments that are automatically sent to your email address.
This also works in reverse with most email fax services if the recipient has a physical fax machine and you send a document via email to these fax services; they would be received in their fax machine just as if you had sent them using a standard fax machine.

Configure ChamberMaster/MemberZone to use my email fax service

From the Setup menu in ChamberMaster, select General Options & Settings. Open the Add-On Manager area and complete the Fax Solution fields.

When designating that communication is delivered via fax, the appropriate output will be sent to your selected email fax service who in turn will deliver it to your fax recipients. 

Which email fax services are supported?

Currently eFax, MetroFax, RapidFax, MaxEmail, and MyFax are supported. Additional email fax services may also work if they accept the standard email format generated by ChamberMaster.

Miscellaneous Settings

There are a variety of custom settings that may be put in place. Most of these selections are found by clicking Setup in the left-hand menu. A few miscellaneous selections are identified here.

  • Enable LiveEdit button
  • Enable Constant Contact synchronization
  • Upload your logo

Constant Contact Synchronization

The ChamberMaster/MemberZone member management system allows you to connect to your Constant Contact account to automate updates to your Constant Contact lists based on updates made in the database. Once configured representatives that have been added to the database or specific groups will automatically be added to Constant Contact. Any reps that are disabled within in a group will be removed from their respective lists.

Note: Any Representatives that are deleted from the database or removed from a group will still remain in Constant Contact. These contacts would need to be manually removed from Constant Contact in these circumstances. For best results avoid deleting or removing representatives within your database and instead simply disable them within the group.

Constant Contact has a special pricing program for Chambers of Commerce see the details here.

Enable Constant Contact Synchronization

You must have an active account with Constant Contact to setup and use the synchronization tool.

  1. Login to your database with administrator privileges.
  2. Click Setup in the left-hand menu.
  3. Click General Options and Settings in the Association Information (or Chamber Information) area.
  4. Select ConstantContact from the Newsletter Solution drop-down box.

  6. Follow the prompts to authorize the database with your Constant Contact account.
  7. Choose which items you would like to have automatically synchronize each night. Automatically synchronize membership types daily, Automatically synchronize groups daily, and/or Automatically sync all active reps for active and courtesy members to allow ChamberMaster to pass all ChamberMaster Membership Types, active reps and/or Group updates and additions nightly to your Constant Contact account. To select only specific groups, click the Synch tab in the Groups module.
    If you’d rather select only certain groups to be synched, then you’ll need to deselect all others on the Synch tab in the Groups module. See Selecting Which Groups to Synchronize below for more info.
  8. Click Save.
Going forward, make any additions to these list or changes to contact information in your software. Each night a synch takes place and any added reps will be added. Any reps disabled will be removed. If a rep is deleted from the database they will not be removed. For best results, manage all additions and updates in ChamberMaster/MemberZone only and don't delete any records.
Note: Reps that have unsubscribed from your database mailing list will not be included in the synch to Constant Contact.

FAQ
Why are there fewer contacts in my Constant Contact list than what is showing in my database?
A) When the data is pushed over to Constant Contact any emails that are invalid are automatically excluded. Any emails that are unsubscribed within Constant Contact would also be excluded from the final list in Constant Contact.


When does the synch happen each day?
A) The synch happens between 11pm and 4am Central Standard Time daily.


What happens when I change a representatives email in ChamberMaster/MemberZone?
A) The representative will be added to anything their previous email was attached to but their previous email will not be removed. If you want their previous email removed you would need to do that directly within Constant Contact.

Enable Votility Integration

Votility is an online political advocacy software solution which can be used for grassroots email lobbying, creating and managing online fundraising campaigns, pending legislation tracking, and more.  Read more about Votility at http://www.votility.com/
If your organization uses Votility you can integrate your Votility account with your ChamberMaster/MemberZone account. This enables two special Votility integration features:
A more seamless expirience for your members by giving them access to Votility directly through the Member Information Center without them ever needing to create a separate login or account on Votility.  (require Member Information Center v4)
Additionally, you can sign directly into your Votility Administrator account from the Dashboard without needing to enter additional credentials.
Integrating your ChamberMaster/MemberZone account with Votility makes using both software solutions fast and easy by only having to log into one place to access the great features of both products. 
To integrate Votility
You will need two pieces of information from your Votility account: your Votility Organization ID and your Votility API Access Key. 
1.
To find this information and integrate with Votility, log into your Votility enterprise management.
2.
Use the navigation links on the left to find the "API Settings" page.
3.
From that page, copy your Organization ID and API Access Key.
4.
Login to your ChamberMaster/MemberZone database with Admin level permissions.
5.
Click Setup in the left-hand menu.
6.
Click General Options and Settings.
7.
Open the Add-On Manager area.
8.
In the Votility Integration Settings section, paste the copied Organization ID and API Access Key from the Votility software screens into these boxes
9.
Click Update Votility Integration Settings button.
Enable Votility Integration-AdminTasks.1.58.1.jpg
10.
This will complete your integration, enabling a link to Votility in the Member Information Center for your members and an Administrator login link on the backoffice Dashboard.
 
Members access Votility directly through the Member Information Center
After your Votility integration, members that login to Member Information Center v4 will see a new menu selection, titled “Votility”, displayed on the left-hand Shortcuts menu. Single-sign-on (SSO) has been implemented which means that no additional login is needed to Votility once you are logged into the Member Information Center.
Enable Votility Integration-AdminTasks.1.58.2.jpg
Send members directly to Votility using special URL
After your Votility is integrated, you’ll be able to include a special URL inside of emails and other electronic communication that brings your members directly to the Votility screen once login credentials are entered.
Provide the following URL, replacing yoursubdomain.yourdomain with your specific sub-domain and domain name:
http://yoursubdomain.yourdomain.com/login?dest=votility
Members will login using their familiar Member Information Center login credentials and be immediately brought to the Votility screen, bypassing the Member Information Center home screen, making navigation to Votility very simple.
You can now send your members email alerts regarding pending legislation with a link to login to the Member Information Center where they will be provided tools to easily contact their representatives with their opinion.
Access to Votility Administration Center
Administrative access to the Votility Administration Center where you can track and measure the success of your campaigns is accessible from the Dashboard screen in the Applications section.
Enable Votility Integration-AdminTasks.1.58.3.jpg
Note: The email address listed for your Admin login under Setup->Employees/Reps must match the email address listed for your administrative account in Votility. If not, you will not be able to login to Votility from the Dashboard but would receive an error, “Error: We were unable to log you into Votility. This may be because you do not have an Administrator account in Votility or because your email address in votility does not match your email address in ChamberMaster/MemberZone.”
