Online directory FAQ

By Virgle Wyatt

Published April 18, 2009 in This Week

Many of you use the online membership directory, but some of you may be unfamiliar with its many benefits. In this and future issues of the newsletter, we will be printing database manager Virgle Wyatt’s answers to frequently asked questions.

Q: Why is it asking me to log in? Do I need to create yet another user name and password?

A: If you are reading this article, then we already have an online profile set up for you. You do not have to use the “New User” option. Enter your e-mail address and password* and you’re on the site.

Requiring a login and password is what keeps your information secure. It’s not accessible to the worldwide web—just members, family, and friends of PCPC.

* If you don’t know your password, click the “Forget Your Password?” link, and it will be e-mailed to you.

Q: I would like to register for an event. Does having an account in the online directory make registration easier?

A: Yes! Almost 750 individuals registered for events in January and February.

Log in to the membership directory site first, click the “Registrations” link, and register for an event. If you log in first, you will not need to fill out the form!Just log in, then register.

Q: How do I change my contact information in the directory?

A: Click on the “Personal Profile” tab, then click on your name and edit the information on that screen.

Q: I changed my contact information. Why doesn’t it show up now?

A: Once you update your profile, I get an alert, and I have the opportunity to check the changes before they are applied to the site. I update the site daily, so you will see your changes the next time I update.
