The Word Mail Merge templates are available in the Advanced Custom Report Builder. Run your report to view and filter to the desired content. Click Word Mail Merge and pick from envelopes, labels, name tags and tent cards. Then click Perform Merge which will open the merged results in Microsoft Word, ready for you to print.

Note: The fields in your report must match exactly the fields in the Word template. So open and run a coordinating report template so you don't have to select the fields yourself. Click More Info to view the needed fields and suggested report template..

Template doesn't fit your needs exactly? Click Customize to open the raw template, make your changes, save and upload your custom version. Then Perform Merge to view and print your own unique version.

Security Tightened

Customers that began using ChamberMaster / MemberZone prior to May 2015 are being upgraded to the same level of password security that is already in place for newer customers - password hashing. Existing passwords will be switched over throughout the next few weeks until all passwords in all customer databases are fully hashed. No action is required on your part.

  • Member, rep and staff login passwords will no longer be displayed on-screen as clear-text but will always appear with **** (asterisks).
  • Reports that previously included the password will now display say [Password secured - not displayed]
  • Mail merge fields that previously included the password will now provide a link to the Forgot Password page
  • If staff previously used the clear-text password to
  • Login in as a member to check member experience, we would recommend a new way of accomplishing this - - click the login selection next to the representative's name on the Reps tab or if still using the legacy member logins, use the Login as this Member link next to the member name when in the Members module.
  • Tell members their forgotten password, we recommend a new way of assisting — click the change/send password button in the Login Permissions section on the Reps tab. Provide your member with a new password or send them a reset password link.
