Your information

Start by providing some basic information about yourself, like name, email address, and cell phone number. The email address you enter will be used with your password to form your login credentials.

Additional household members

If there are additional members you'd like to add to your account, you may add them in the "Additional Household Members" section. 

Joint members that include an email address will be able to log in and receive communications.

Since an email address is required to log in, members that are added without an email address will not have the ability to log in or receive communications.

Addresses

To represent all members that make up a community, there are different account types available for members to register with. Each account type has its own set of address requirements.

While some account types may require at least one address inside of the community, others may require at least one address located anywhere, or no address at all.

Depending on the account type you are registering with, you will be prompted to either add an address according to its specific requirements or skip the address section entirely.

If the account type you're registering with requires an address, provide each address that should be associated with your account in the "Address(es)" section. Designate them as being located inside or outside of your community and determine which is your preferred mailing.

Now that you have a registered and approved account on your website, you can manage your member settings, account settings, take surveys, and more! Below is an overview of how to get started.

Logging in

Before accessing restricted pages and exploring your website, you'll need to log into your member profile. To do this, click on the "log in" link in the upper right-hand corner of your website. From here, you'll be asked to enter your login credentials, which includes your email address and password.

 

Member settings

The "Member settings" area is where you can manage your member profile information. This area can be accessed by clicking on your name in the top right-hand corner of the website.

 

Below is an overview of the tabs you'll find and what information may be managed in each:

  • The "General" tab is where you can enter your contact information. This will be the information used for the communications sent to you.
  • The "Profile" tab is where you can add a profile photo, employer name, and other information about yourself. The information added here will display in the resident directory (if available) and is a great way for other members to get to know you better! This is also the tab where you can include links to your social media pages. 
  • The "Password" tab is where you can create a new password for your member profile.
  • The "Contact" tab allows you to edit your contact preferences for receiving emails, text messages, What's Happening emails, and forum notifications. The what's happening email frequency can be set to none for a member that does not want the email. It's the member settings selection in the drop-down menu beside your name then click on the Contact tab.
  • The "Privacy" tab is where you can choose what contact information you'd like to be posted to your website.

Account settings

In addition to managing your member profile, you have the ability to manage account information, and other members associated with your account, from the "Account settings" section.

Didn't receive an email?

In case you never received an email from our system, first check your spam messages. If it's still not there, it probably means that the email address isn't registered.

Types of members

There are two main types of members—joint members and specially-designated members. Joint members can either be "full" or "partial" members, depending on whether they have an email address. Read on to learn more about the differences between each of these.

Joint members

Full members (have email)

Joint members with an email address have the ability to interact with the website and be included on pages like the  "Board Members," and "Committees" pages. They can also do the following: 

  • View restricted pages on the website
  • Participate in interactive pages
  • Be added to a custom group
  • Have administrative privileges
  • Be added as a page editor

Partial members (missing email)

Joint members can also be included without an email address. Since an email address is required to log in, these members will not have the ability to interact with the website or receive communications. 

Specially-designated members

This type of member is one that is given a designation of some sort. The types of designations they could have are as follows:

  • Child
  • Pet
  • Relative
  • Other

Specially-designated members do not have the same capabilities as joint members and will only display in the "Members" section of the Admin Control Panel.
