Administrators: You are viewing User instructions for this module. For Administrator instructions, see Interests.

Members register for an Interest by navigating to the Interests module from their website menu, if available.

Interests Main Page

Select the interest, then on the screen listing members for the interest you will see a Sign Me Up button. Select the button to be added to the interest.

Interest page with signup

Members can also register for an Interest from their MemberProfile. A screen like the following is displayed:

Member Interests Screen

This screen lists the categories and interests in the order specified, with a checkbox beside each interest. Members will check the interests for which they want to register. An Uncheck All link at the bottom of the page allows the member to clear the list and start over. Clicking Save or Cancel closes the screen and returns to the Member Profile screen.

Each interest on this screen is a link that will display the members who have registered for the interest. However, this list is available to members only. If the current user is logged in, the following screen will be displayed. If you are not logged in, the Login screen will first be displayed. Visitors will then click their back button to return to the previous screen while members will log in to view the screen above.

Interest Detail Screen

This screen shows the members who have registered for the Interest. Each member is shown with his or her name, city, state and email address. The name is a link that will display that member’s Directory entry.

If you are not on the list, the Sign Me Up button at the top allows you to join the Interest list. If you are already on the list, the Remove Me button at the top allows you to leave the Interest list. Note that the Sign Me Up button will not appear if your club or association has set a maximum number of interests that you can sign up for within a category and if you have reached this maximum.

You can also specify your Interests using the Profile – Interests screen.
