Customers themselves can represent a segment. On the web, this person is known as the "Group Manager", which is the person assigned to manage a segment or group of people. For example, a company can be made into a segment and add its employees to this segment. Then, an employee from the company can be given control over a segment(s) and can perform the appropriate customer management functions. The permissions you assign to a group manager determine what customer record management functions he/she can perform on the web using the Group Management controls. See Configuring the Group Management Controls for more information.
As
of 7.5.1, on the web, segmentation is referred to as "Group Management”.
In 7.5.0 it was refereed to as "Corporate and Staff Management"
and in releases prior to 7.5.0, it was referred to as "Affiliate
Management".
The following are different permissions that you can assign to your group manager:
· Online Group Manager checkbox
When checked, a web user becomes a group manager.
· Edit Individual Profile checkbox
When checked, it allows the group manager to be able to edit individual
group members' profiles on the web.
· Edit Group Profile checkbox
When checked, it allows the group manager to be able to edit the group's
profile on the web.
· Add Individual to Group Profile checkbox
When checked, it allows the group manager to add new individuals to the
group on the web.
As of 7.5.2,
for the Chapter
Management workflow, group managers are unable to add/remove individuals
from their group. In order for group managers to view the most up-to-date
roster on the web, a staff member must, first, run MBR700
to pull in new members and remove expired members, next, run CUS603
to maintain the segment based on who is currently in the subgroup, and
finally, run MBR900
to update the Fulfill Status of membership orders and to populate a reporting
table called Cus_Current_Membership_Info. See Maintaining
the Roster for Chapter Management for more information.
· Remove Individual from Group checkbox
When checked, the manager can remove members from the group on the web.
This only
applies to the Corporate
and Staff Management workflow.
· Identify Group Manager checkbox
When checked, the group manager has the ability to assign another user
to be a group manager, as well as change the existing manager's permissions
from the web.
· Place Order checkbox
When checked, the group manager can place orders for members in the group
on the web.
For example, if the Edit Individual Profile field is enabled in the
back office, as highlighted below, on the web, the group manager would
be able to edit a group member's profile, such as his/her contact information.
