Our Website Management / CMS offering experienced many limitations that made managing a website a difficult task.

What's new

Here are just the highlights of what is available with the new CMS:

• Create a dynamic, engaging front page with options to include different articles, polls, newsfeeds and other content.
• Create pages with sections that display based on permissions, allowing for customized content delivery.
• Unlimited Customizable Menus - create as many menus as your site needs that can be shown on specific pages or sections of your site.
• Tag all of your images, documents and other media and organize them into folders.
• Use our completely overhauled sponsor ad component to display and track any kind of sponsor ad on your site.
• Add and manage RSS feeds that you can quickly and easily incorporate into your site.

And that's just the start! The possibilities opened up by the new CMS are vast.

Unlike the other features in this release, it will not be available automatically - MemberClicks must migrate your existing solution over to it. We are currently scheduling migrations, which will occur from now until November. In the meantime, sit tight and a MemberClicks representative will contact you to discuss when your migration will take place. When you are migrated, you will receive detailed documentation going over all the new features.

Up until now...

Parent / child features were extremely limited and only applied on the individual profile level.

What's new

• Group Management section has been overhauled to allow for parent / child groups.
  
  What this means - You can quickly spot parent / child relationships due to the way groups are displayed in a hierarchical tree structure on the Group Management page. You can drag and drop groups to instantly create parent / child relationships between them.
  
  
• Unlimited hierarchical levels are possible.
  
  What this means - You can have a child group that has children itself. For instance, if you had an organization with members organized by State and then by City within the state, the organization would be the parent group of the State groups, and the State groups would each be parents for their respective City groups.
  
  
• Cascade attributes from parent to child groups.
  
  What this means - If child groups share common attributes with the parent group, you can pre-populate the child's value with the parent's when parents are adding new children via an application form. For instance, if your Company is the parent record and your Employees are the child records, the child records could automatically be pre-populated with common fields like company address, phone number, website, fax line, etc.
  
  
• Limit the number of child profiles that can belong to a parent.
  
  What this means - You can restrict how many child profiles any one individual in a parent group can have.
  
  
• Parents can apply, register, and renew children on forms.
  
  What this means - When filling out application, dues renewal or event registration forms, parents can enter their child information on the same form and the system will automatically recognize the parent / child relationship between the profiles / registrants. Your organization could save significant amounts of money by registering children with their parent members on the same form and paying only one transaction fee instead of several.
  
  
• Linked parent / child relationships can be quickly accessed via the Relationships tab on user profiles.
  
  What this means - Parent profiles can modify all of their child profiles quickly by accessing their own user profile.

The HTML editor located in many areas of our product would mangle existing code. It was difficult to edit text and perform other simple changes.

What's new

Our new HTML editor is much more intuitive in how it handles. Simple edits won't cause you any more headaches. The editor no longer relies on a Java applet, so there's no more software to download.

What this means

You can feel free to go in and edit your pages, HTML emails, and other HTML content without worrying about whether or not it will inadvertently destroy your design in the process.

MemberClicks had to manually configure each E-List for your organization. Management of existing E-Lists was cumbersome and sometimes impossible.

What's new

  What this means - You can ensure that all posts are appropriate and on target by having someone read them before they go out to the list.
  
  
• Administrators can configure pre-subject indicators that prefix each message subject.
  
  What this means - You can make the subject line of each message on your list easily identifiable, so that users can quickly sort those emails in their inboxes.
  
  
• Welcome and goodbye emails can be designed with or without HTML.
  
  What this means - You can personalize the user experience by creating welcome and goodbye emails tailored to each user and branded for your organization.
  
  
• Users can be subscribed by groups, attributes or a combination of both.
  
  What this means - It's easy to add exactly the users that you want from your database.
  
  
• All users can quickly access the messages and options for the E-Lists to which they are subscribed through their user profiles.

All currently existing E-Lists will be migrated over to the new system, so that you can gain the benefits of it with your current lists! If you are currently using E-Lists, a MemberClicks representative will contact you in the coming weeks to discuss migrating your existing lists.

* - NOTE: If you are using a custom domain name with your solution, contact the MemberClicks Help Team to use that domain name with your E-Lists.
