Committee Management - Roster Control

After setting up the Roster control, your committee manager will see the Roster control similar to the one displayed below, for Committee Management.

The Roster page for Committee Management is sequenced by hierarchy and NOT by alphabetical order. After position hierarchy, the second sort level is last name. In addition, past committee members are NOT accessible on the roster, because the length of this list can be extensive. However, you could run a report to see a list of past committee members. See COM103PE - Analysis of Past Committee Members for more information.

Committee's Name

If the Edit Group Profile checkbox is checked on the Organization Segmentation screen in the back office, the committee's name displays on the Roster page as a link. When the committee manager clicks the committee name link, as highlighted below, he/she is redirected to the committee's profile page. The information that the committee manager can edit/view is based on the profile controls you drop on the committee's profile section (e.g., contact information, addresses, pay open orders, etc.).  See Committee Profile Page for more information on setting up this page. For more information on where this information is stored in the back office, refer to Adding a Committee Profile.

Status is used to indicate a TEMPORARY leave, (e.g., maternity, an extended vacation, short term disability, a sabbatical, etc.). It does not automatically exclude someone from a committee, since it is expected that the absence will be temporary. This is simply an indicator so group managers and staff can act accordingly (e.g., they do not send meeting invites until the status goes back to Active). This does not END someone’s service; in order to end some ones service, the person’s service END DATE should be updated. For more information, refer to Adding a New Committee Member.

Add Committee Member

When the committee manager selects Add Committee Member, he/she is redirected to the Add New Individual page, as shown below. Here, the committee manager enters the email address of the individual that he/she wants to add to his/her roster. If you do NOT allow multiple constituents to share the same email address, this check ensures that users do NOT have same email address in your database and helps to prevent duplicate users from being entered into your database. Please note that the system searches on primary email address ONLY.  For more information on where this information is stored in the back office, refer to Adding a New Committee Member.

If the URL of the Add New Individual Page field is defined for this control, but the Add Individual to Group field is NOT enabled in the back office, the "Add Committee Member" button does not display and the committee manager is unable to add new individuals to his/her roster. See Setting up a Group Manager's Permissions for more information.

 

When the committee manager enters the individual's email, the system checks to see if he/she already exists in the database. Please note that the system searches on primary email address ONLY. When the committee manager clicks Add Individual Details, the committee manager is prompted to enter the individual's information, as shown below. When the committee manager clicks Continue, the committee manager is redirected to the Committee Term Detail page.

When a committee manager adds a new committee member that is NOT in the system to his/her roster, a SSO login is created for the new individual. The following are the two ways that you can notify the new individual that a SSO login was created:

1.    The first option is to set up a notification, which will notify the new individual that a SSO login was created when he/she was added to the committee. See Setting Up Notification Events for more information.

2.    The second option is if the committee manager checks the Send login details to email address checkbox, as highlighted below, the committee member will receive an email with a link in it to reset his/her password. This workflow is handled by Single Sign-on (SSO), which is independent of the notifications system. For more information, refer to Setting Up the SSO and IMS Admin Module.

Or, if the committee manager does NOT check the Send login details to email address checkbox and the new individual tries to register for your website, he/she will be redirected to the You appear to already be registered on our site page, as shown below. Here, the new individual can log into your website, retrieve his/her forgotten password, or provide an alternate email address in order to log into to your website. See New Customer Registration Page for more information.


If the individual's primary email is in the system, the page displays as shown below. When the committee manager clicks Continue, the committee manager is redirected to the Committee Term Detail page. A group manager may select the None of the Above- Create New Employee Record radio button if the email was generic to a department/family and has already been claimed by a different person.

Send Email

This email feature is provided so a group manager can easily reach out to a small subset of their group. It is not intended for large blast emails. Keep in mind that emails with large distribution lists can get caught in spam filters, or worse, put the sender’s address on a watch list. Make sure your group managers understand their options for mass communications (e.g., if they can provide someone at your organization with a list that they wish to mass-market to). For more information, refer to Emailing the Committee.
