Configuring the Affiliate Management - Segment List Web Module

The Affiliate Segment List Web Module, offered in 7.2.1 and above, provides you with the ability to create a page that displays only the affiliate segments a user controls when the associated user is logged into the site.

 

This page also serves as the Affiliate Management homepage from which point the user can purchase products on behalf of Affiliate Members or manage the segment group depending on the rights assigned to the user through the Organization Segmentation (ORG002) screen in the back office.

Create the Affiliate Segment List Page

You must create a new page before you can configure the Affiliate Segment List page. You can give the title page a unique name. For example, we titled our home page “Affiliate Management Home”.

To create the configure the affiliate segment list page:

1.    Log into your site as Host.

2.    Navigate to the blank page you created.

3.    Add the Personify - Affiliate Segment List module to where you want it to be located on your page. See Adding a Web Module to the Webpage for more information.

4.    From the pencil icon, select Edit, as highlighted below.

This displays the Segment List settings, as shown below.

Configure the Segment List Settings

The sections below lists the various settings for the Affiliate Segment List Web Module and the impact each setting has on the customer experience. The Segment Listing section of the settings page displays two radio buttons that determine which segments the customer can see on this page.

Customers will never be able to view any segments they are not granted rights to control from the Organization Segmentation (ORG002) screen in Personify360.

To create the page display setting:

1.    Select the radio button that you want to be displayed on the screen:

a.    Display All – all segments the customer has rights to control display on the page, as shown below.

b.    Ordering Segments Only – only segments the customer has right to control AND are available for the customer to purchase products for display on the page, as shown below.

2.    Click Save.

Configure the Edit Segment Listing Settings.

1.    From the homepage, select Edit Segment Listing.

2.    Choose which actions you want your customer to perform based on the configurations described below.

·            Allow Creating New Segments – checkbox. When checked, this allows the user to create a new segment (employment or committee) if a system administrator has already provided the user rights to this action by way of ORG002 in Personify360. An “Add Segments” button displays on the screen when you activate this feature. Please refer to Affiliate Management Workflows for more information on enabling this button.

·            “Create New Employment Segment” Action URL – drop-down. Only needed if you enabled the Allow Creating New Segments checkbox. The page you select determines what page the user is directed to. For example, if they click the Create New Employment Segment button after clicking the Add Segment button.

·            “Segment Edits” Action URL – drop-down. Only needed if you enabled the Allow Segment Edits checkbox. The page you select determines what page the user is directed to. For example, if they click the segment name in order to edit the segment’s contact or demographic information. You should direct them to a page that has the Customer Address, Customer Communication, and Alter Customer modules installed.

·            Allow Segment Ordering – checkbox. When checked, a Buy Product link displays under each segment which allows the user to purchase products specifically for the segment. For the link to work, you must configure the Affiliate Management Buy Product workflow as discussed in Configure the Buy Product Workflow.

Configure the Committee/Employee/Membership/Miscellaneous/Geographic Settings

The sections for Committee, Employee, Membership, Miscellaneous, and Geographic list the same settings (with exception to Committee and Employee, as discussed below). These settings deal with displaying each type of segment and the action that occurs when a user clicks on any of the links under each segment.

·            Display on Page – checkbox. When checked, this ensures that any segments of that specific type (committee, employee, etc.) in which the user has control over will display on the screen when the user is logged in.

This option is provided so that associations may create multiple segment list pages if they want a separate page for each type of segment type.

·            Action URL – drop-down. Only available when you set the Segment Listing Mode to Display All. The page you select determines which page the user is directed to when he/she clicks the List All link next to the segment. Make sure to select the page that includes the Personify – Affiliate List module for that specific segment type. For example, you may have created a page entitled Employee Affiliate List which uses the Affiliate List module.
