2 From Modules, select Names, Add New Name 1 Click the + sign to add a name 3 ways to begin! 3 On the keyboard – Alt + A
You Have Choices….. With Edit Preferences… you can remove unused fields, and control the behavior of others. Only checked fields are displayed on the Name screen.
Data Validation… (fields with Dropdowns..) Pink brackets are also validated data fields.
Student ID # The SSN/ID # is the unique identifier for the Names table. Organizations have the option of entering the individual's Social Security number or allowing the system to generate an ID number for the Name record (if you do not enter a SSN, the system will generate the number when you save the record). System generated ID numbers begin with your site code (e.g. if 'X' is your site code the numbers would begin at X00-00-0001; select Edit / Preferences / Organization Defaults to set the site code.
A few fields deserve extra mention . . . Badge Name: for those people who don’t like the name their mother gave them, or prefer to go by the name “Bubba” When a husband and wife enroll for ballroom dance, you don’t need to send the household two brochures. “Don’t mail” will block one of the names on the mailing list only.
A few fields deserve extra mention . . . A complimentary field to “Don’t Mail” is Excl which excludes the name from mass emails
A few fields deserve extra mention . . . In Fee Category you can set a default for future registrations. For example, if the individual is entitled to a staff discount, select StaffFee from the Fee Category list. When registering online the individual will automatically be assessed the selected fee if the selected fee has been set up on the course screen. NEW! In 7.2 you can set a fee category as a default on the firm record. Everyone associated with that firm will receive the fee rate when enrolling in courses.
A few fields deserve extra mention . . . Source identifies how the customer arrived at your doorstep the first time. Add Interest identifies those classes in which the customer expressed an interest. As they register for courses, the subject code from the course is added to this field. No limit is placed on the amount of Interest codes a student may have.
A few fields deserve extra mention . . . Occupation and Organization are paired together. Record the student’s career choice in occupation, and the industry in which they work in organization. For example, on campus you have nurses and law enforcement officers (occupation) who work in education (organization). Recording both is more accurate when deciding on mailing lists.
A few fields deserve extra mention . . . You can temporarily change the sort order of the name records. View the list of available “sorts” by clicking on the Sort button. Make your selection with a double-click. Then use the left/right arrows to move through the data using the new sort.
WOW ! ! ! A new Membership(s) Section. . . You now have some powerful tools to manage, track, and control access to classes with the new Membership System. ( Watch for a special webinar this fall to give you all the details on the system)…
