Creating a New Individual

For a video demonstrating how to create a new individual, refer to Video Demo: Adding a New Individual.

A powerful feature of Personify360’s Marketing application is that marketing lists can be created based on customer opt-in records. Prior to 7.6.1, unless a customer knew to sign up for opt-in choices from the web, staff had to manually opt them in, after first identifying customers who were missing opt-in records. As of 7.6.1, certain opt-in records can be automatically created for new individual customers so that those customers will automatically receive certain organization marketing communications. This reduces the manual setup burden on membership managers who email communications related to activities of their organization to members and interested constituents using Marketing lists based on customer opt-in records. In order for the system to automatically create certain opt-in records for new individual customers, the Auto Populate checkbox must be checked on BOTH the subcode(s) and code(s) defined for the CUS "OPT_IN_INTEREST_AREA" system type.

To create a new individual constituent:

When defining contact information for a constituent, phone, email, web/social media, and fax communication methods can be marked as “Include in Directory”. Additionally, address communication methods. can be marked as “Confidential”. In the back office, all online roster and directory reports where the last character in the report name is “E” (for external), respect the “Confidential” and “Include in Directory” definition for the listed constituents’ communication methods. For example, if John Smith has his personal mobile phone number marked as not to be included in the directory, that number will not be included in the MBR1200PE report.  For example, MBR1200CE and MBR1200PE. MBR1200CE means it is a report that lists companies first (hence the “C” in MBR1200CE), then the employees, and finally, it is an external report (hence the “E” in MBR1200CE).  This means that its intended audience is people outside the organization. MBR1200PE means it is a report that lists individuals (hence the “P” for “professionals” in MBR1200PE), and it is intended to be viewed by people outside the organization (hence the “E” for “external” in MBR1200PE). The confidential flag is ignored on internal reports, which are reports that have an “I” as the last character in their name (e.g., MBR1200CI and MBR1200PI).  The “confidential” flag is also respected in the mobile member directory.
