How to use the Edit a Company tool

Search

Search for a company or set of companies by setting any or all of the optional fields to refine the search criteria. To view all available companies, leave the search fields set to the default values. If you set search criteria in more than one field, the results will only show companies that match all search criteria.

Note

Depending on the path you took to this page, the Search and Select steps may have been accomplished through another tool, in which case you will not see the forms described in these first two steps.

Options

Company

Enter a full or partial value for the company name. The default is 'Any Company'.

Current Status

Set this value to search for companies with this status type. This can be 'Active' or 'Inactive', or use the default value 'Any Status' to retrieve both active and inactive companies.

Purpose

Set this value to search for companies with a specific purpose: 'Member Company', 'Company for Individual Members', 'Nonmember' or 'Staff or Administration'. If set to the default, 'Any Purpose', the search results will not be restricted by purpose.

Company Type

Set this value to search for companies with this specific type, or use the default value 'All Company Types' to retrieve all types of companies.

Select

Company Info

This page allows you to edit general information about the company, including purpose, name and address, and privacy preferences. Most options are self-explanatory.

Options that may not be self-explanatory include:

Purpose

This company's purpose. This can include 'Member Company', 'Nonmember' or 'Staff or Administration'. If this is a mixed or individual-based organization, the list of purposes will also include 'Company for Individual Members.' 'Nonmember' will only appear if this organization is configured to track nonmembers.

Company Name

Enter the company's full name as it should be printed on a roster or a mailing label.

Company URL

Enter the full, official URL for this company, including the prefix http:// (e.g., http://www.example.com).

Preferences

Depending on organization policies, these privacy options may or may not be displayed.

Privacy Option

This option controls whether a Company Roster will be available for this company.

Note

This setting DOES NOT impact any other mailing lists or contact options on this site, including those in Kavi® Groups.

  • If set to 'Yes, share information', a roster of this company's users will be available on the Company Roster page.

  • If set to 'No, do NOT share information', a roster of this company's users will not be available on the Company Roster page.

Show on Signup

This option controls whether the company will or will not be displayed on the Company Representative Signup form.

  • If set to 'Yes, show on signup', this company will be displayed in the pulldown list that company representatives use to select their company.

  • If set to 'No, do NOT show on signup', this company will not be displayed in the pulldown list that company representatives use to select their company.

Admin Info

Depending on site configuration and the purpose of the company you are adding, the options may include:

Administration-Only — General Access

Use this section if you wish to assign any access types to this company in addition to those granted by any memberships this company holds.

Company Representative Signup
Show on Signup form

Select whether this company is to be included in the companies listed on the Company Representative Signup form.

Accepted Email Domains

Enter a complete set of accepted domains for this company. A company's email domain is based on the domain of the company's URL, and appears in company email addresses following the @ symbol (e.g., username@example.com). The list of accepted domains provided by a company should include all the domains that may be used by users signing up as company representatives. Users whose domains are not included in this list will not be able to signup until the domain is added. In domain matching, subdomains such as 'research.example.com' match 'example.com', so as long as 'example.com' is on the list of accepted domains, it is not necessary to include subdomains.
