About community members

A community member visits or works at your location but isn’t employed by your organization. Each member has their own profile.

You can add a community member individually.

Community: means a group of people (which we refer to as community members) whose community name uniquely describes them distinctly from employees, contractors, visitors or other communities in the account. Examples of a new community are:

  • Residents - to describe people occupying units in an aged-care facility or people occupying units in a multi-family facility.
  • Students - to describe children attending a school or any form of education service provider facility.
  • Volunteers - to describe people providing a volunteer service to the client.

Add a community member

The only required field is their full name, but if you have added mandatory custom fields, you must complete this information.

To add a community member:

  1. Go to Locations > click on your community.

  2. Click Add member.
  3. There are two options available to add members:
    Manually - Enter the member's details
    Import List from a SCV File - Add members in bulk
  4. Select Manually
  5. Complete the profile information and complete other member settings as outlined below.

Profile information

Complete the member's profile information:

  1. Enter the member’s full name. You must add a first and last name.

  4. Enter the member’s title if applicable.
  5. Add their email address. This sends notifications, invitations, notices and inductions to the member.

  7. Select the member's role type.
  8. Click Save & close.

If your organization uses custom fields, you may have extra fields to complete and tabs to click through.
