There is room for three phone numbers and you should click on the radio button to the right of the number that you would like people to use when contacting you.

Go to the line just below the line marked Images and click on the BROWSE button. Locate and select the image file that you would like to use. The best image size will have a width of 50 pixels or about .7 inches and a height of 61 pixels or .847 inches or close enough. It is best to use a .gif file but a .jpg should work as well.

III. Event / Cruise Calendar
The next page to open will be the Calendar of Events and for the club you had chosen. Navigate through the calendar by using either the < > arrows located in the upper corners of the calendar or for big jumps in time select a month and or year from the dropdown lists just above the calendar. To select an event from the calendar, click on the underlined number which represents the day of the month located in the upper left corner of each day. For multiday events click on the day that represents the first day of the event. The event(s) for that day will now be listed in a table. If there is more than one event for that day, click on the word SELECT in the left most column of the table and the Event Detail page will appear. Your personal information is located to the top left. There are several textboxes with some of your available personal information already filled in. You may edit any of this information. You will need to fill in the items indicated in RED. Just below is the attending list with inform at ion about the other members that have already joined the event. When you have entered all of the correct information, click on JOIN EVENT/CRUISE button to add you name to the Attending List. You will see a popup box telling you that you have Joined the Event or if there any problems what they are. If you have previously joined an event use the SAVE UPDATE button to submit your changes. The process is similar to remove yourself from the attending list. If not all of the people in your party want to be removed then just edit the # IN PARTY and save the edit. It is not necessary that each member of a household individually join an event unless you just want to. Use the #IN PARTY to indicate how many people will be attending. Boating clubs will see a brown background button labeled MY BOAT, see 10 below. Use this button to open a page where you may view and edit information about your boat(s).
If one Member of a Household has joined and Event and another Member of that Household needs to change some of the information use the following. Select the Event from the Calendar page. When the Attending List comes up find the line where your Household has joined and click on the SELECT button to the left. The text boxes below will now be filled with the information that was provided at the time of the initial Join. Edit the information as needed and click SAVE UPDATE. There is a line with faint text that shows when and who created the Join and when and who last updated the information.
PAYPAL – For those Events that prepayment is either an option or required, just below the JOIN EVENT or SAVE UPDATE buttons you will see a PAY NOW button with a green background. Clicking on this button will take you to a page that will walk you through making a payment with PayPal. Having a PayPal account is not required but is an option.
You may see detailed information and pictures if available of anyone on the Attending List by clicking on the SELECT button at the left end of their row.
For those events that have a Max Attending limit once the limit has been reached those parties that are now on the Standby List will be shown in red and they are listed in the order in which they signed up for the event. If a party who is listed as attending removes themselves from the list then all the parties listed will move up in position. Remember once you remove yourself from the list there is no way to go back.
Also available are buttons to PRINT the ATTENDING lists or create an EMAIL LIST. This will generate a comma delineated email list. This format works for most email providers. If it does not for yours send me a sample of what yours should look like and I will see what I can do. The Email list is located at the bottom of the page and you will most likely need to use the farthest right scroll bar to see it. The Print Attending button will open a new page giving you a list of those attending in the order by which they signed up.

VI. Event / Cruise / Social Setup
Click on EVENTS to setup Events, Cruises, Socials and event related Blasts. When the Event Setup page opens the Club grid located to the left side of the page will be set and limited to the Club for which you are a Member Officer or Chairperson. The Event grid to the right side of the page will show Events that are currently present if any. Please do not Create, Edit or Remove event records for which you are not the Chairman or the Alternate even if you feel that something is incorrect. Contact the appropriate Event Chairmen if you have questions. Below these grids are textboxes for inputting information about the Event. Remember, items in red with a * next to them are required and messages concerning errors in data entry or successful saves will be posted below the page heading.
a. First pick the type of function Event, Cruise or Social. Once chosen this may not be changed. Events and Cruises will have a Signup List, a Social will not. To change the type of function you must delete the current Event, Cruise or Social and start again.
b. The primary textboxes to fill are Event, Time, Location, Description and Date. To enter a date click on the buttons with the green background labeled DATE to open a calendar for the date selection. This is the basic info needed to list the event. When finished click on ADD EVENT and your function should be added to the list above and show up on the calendar.
c. Next enter function details. This will be the basis for any blast you will want to send out. From the two drop down lists select the Header and Event art to be used. A good way to add the Event Info is to type out and setup what you want in Word and then copy and paste it into the Event Info text box. Recheck your spacing, I like to keep any single line of text just a little wider than the Event Art image width. This will be apparent when we get to the Blast phase.
d. SAVE OFTEN, as you add pieces use the SAVE EDIT button. Saving often will keep down your frustration should things mess up because you might lose some of the work you have put in.
e. See Art Work Upload
VII. Blast Setup
Probably the best way to get a Blast started is to select the Event, Cruise or Social from the club’s calendar and then click on VIEW EVENT /CRUISE INFO. This will take you to the brochure type page for that event. Click on the button to the upper left with a light blue background marked EVENT/CRUISE BLAST. This opens the page where you will create the blast(s) for that function.
a. If this is the first time to this page then some of the needed data will already be filled in if you have a well set up function. At the top of the page are textboxes for entering the desired data such as who the email is going to or from, what the Subject of the email is and then a lot of settings for the Message. At any time you may save your work by entering a name next to the word BLAST which is located in the right hand column towards the bottom and the clicking on a button with a light blue background marked either CREATE BLAST or BLAST UPDATE. Blasts that have been created for this function will be available in a table at the very bottom of the window. You may have as many as you want.
b. TO – The dropdown list next to the word TO allows you to choose your target population for the blast. Note the second choice from the bottom, TEST SINGLE ADDRESS. When this target is chosen another textbox appears where you enter a single email address. When you click on SEND BLAST it will go to only that address and you can see what your blast will look like.
c. FROM – There is a default return address in there so that the blast will actually send,. I suggest that you put in whatever address you would like the recipients to replay to. Even if you tell them in the body of the blast what to do or where to respond to, note that most of them will just hit REPLY so use the correct email address here.
d. SUBJECT – The emails will not go through without a subject.
e. MESSAGE – the message is made up of several components. You will see a checkbox with the word USE next to it. Adding or removing the check in these boxes will control what components you want to include. Using Header and Image art is the same as described above in section 1e above. Recheck your spacing, I like to keep any single line of text just a little wider than the width of the Image Art. When the blast is sent out all of the components will be centered on the page.
f. USE LINK – You may add a link to another web page by placing a check in this box. Two new items will appear, one is the URL to the page you want to link to and the other is a place for you to enter text describing the link. Once added the link will appear at the bottom center of the blast. Save your work and use TEST SINGLE ADDRESS to see the results.
g. USE ATTACHMENT – An attachment may be added in a similar fashion. Place a check in the box for USE ATTACHMENT, use the CHOOSE FILE button to locate the file on your computer and then click on UPLOAD to place the file on the remote server. Save your work and use TEST SINGLE ADDRESS to see the results.
VIII. Attending List
To view and manage the Attending List click on MANAGE ATTENDING. A list of those who are attending will be displayed below. Below the list, if any, are textboxes with information about the attending members. Below that is a list of the Members in whichever Club you are working with. You may select a Member from that Club by clicking on the SELECT link to the left of their name in the Members grid and the clicking on JOIN EVENT. To remove them click on SELECT to the left of their name in the Attending List or grid and click on CLEAR ATTENDANT. This will allow you as chairman to assists those who are not computer friendly but always remember that removing a member from a list may have consequences especially if the Event has a MAX Attending limit.
When you are finished with this page you may either Sign Out or click on the OFFICER/CHAIRMAN button in the upper left corner of the window. This will return you to the selection page where you can make a new selection or click on the CLUB LIST button in the upper left corner which will take you back to the list of Clubs for which you are a member.
IX. Database Members
From the Office/Chairmen page click on DATABASE MEMBERS. There are no Clubs related to this page. Everything done here will affect the master Members and Households tables. This information will then be available to all of the Clubs using this system. Before you add a new Household or Member look and make sure that that entity is not already in the database. Remember that Households with Members that have different last names maybe be listed by one or the other Member’s last name. There is no standard convention.
To create a Member you must first create a Household. First make sure that the Household and or Member that you are wanting is not already present in the system. If the Household is not present, enter the desired information. The convention that is currently being used for the Household name is the Last Name, a comma and then the first names of those in the household. Click on CREATE NEW in the Household area to add the record. Remember, items with a * next to them are required and messages concerning errors in data entry or successful saves will be posted below the Club grid. Check to make sure that the Household you just created is now in the Household table.
After the Household has been added or if the Household is already present then click on the SELECT link next to the Household name. Next click on the SETUP NEW MEMBER button which will place data from the Household record into the textboxes for creating the new Member. Fill in the remaining textboxes. To add an image of yourself, go to the line just below the line marked Images and click on the BROWSE button. Locate and select the image file that you would like to use. The best image size will have a width of 50 pixels or about .7 inches and a height of 61 pixels or .847 inches or close enough. I like to use a .gif file but a .jpg should work as well. I have been using the following naming convention: (last_first.gif). After you have selected the image then click on UPLOAD to place the file on the web server. When ready click on CREATE NEW in the Member area to create the Member. The message given to you after this process should confirm that a new Member was created. Check the Members table to make sure the new entry is there.
If by chance you notice that a member name has been created twice it will be best to send me an email and let me take a look so that only the correct duplicate record is removed. You may edit either a Household or Member record but not Delete one so let me know if you need help. In addition, please contact me if a Member needs to be switched to a different Household. joepreece@peapps.com
