This article will help you understand each section under the General Setting in the Admin Site
The General Settings section is accessible exclusively through the admin site, which is designated for use by administrators only. In this area, you will have the opportunity to customize the configurations for each tab displayed on the member site. Additionally, you can manage the branding elements of your community, update your association's contact information, define the template for user agreements, and set up the email templates for communications sent from your association.
Account Creation
There are two options available for determining how users can create their accounts on Tradewing. The first option allows users to freely create their own Tradewing accounts by navigating to your association's Tradewing website and signing up directly. The second option is more exclusive, known as the invite-only option. In this option, users can only establish an account if their profiles have been pre-created by an administrator from the association, after which an invitation can optionally be sent to them via email by the association's admin.
Community
In this section, you have the ability to manage the privacy settings of your community. Additionally, you can customize the name of the default group, initially referred to as the General group. This group encompasses all users in your association who have been granted access to the community. Feel free to modify the name of your General group to better reflect your association's identity. For comprehensive information regarding the privacy levels of your community, please consult the guide provided below:
- Public: Anyone who possesses the link to the community.
- Logged-In Users: Any user who is logged into their Tradewing account associated with your organization.
- Members Only: Users who hold an active member status within your community.
Member Directory
The member directory can be found in the upper tab sections of the member site. Within the Member Directory, the "People" tab displays a comprehensive list of all users in your association with member status, while the "Companies" tab provides a listing of all companies that hold member status. You have the ability to manage the privacy settings of your member directory, utilizing the same privacy options available for your community. Additionally, you can choose to hide the Member Directory from view within your community. Furthermore, you have the flexibility to rename the Member Directory to suit your association's needs, with examples including Membership Roster, Member Registry, or Contact Directory, among others.
Events Feed
Users can access information about upcoming events by navigating to the Events tab on the community site. Here, they will find essential details such as the event name, time, location, and registration information. Additionally, users can view past events and any available recordings.
