Utilities - Configuration Manager

The Configuration Manager allows you to set system configurations, including configurable texts such as "from/subject/body" texts for system confirmation emails; mappings for default edit profile, password recovery, and lookup forms; Dashboard display settings; online payment settings; and various other settings.

This lesson provides detail on these settings and configurations.

Configurable Texts

ONEcount forms have a progressive lookup feature whereby a user will be identified by demographic information entered on the form. The system will look up the user based on the information being progressively entered – e.g. first name, last name – and auto-populate the form when the user is identified. Please see Progressive Lookup documentation for more information.

Mappings

Screenshot A

Email (Question ID 388), First Name (Question ID 424), Last Name (Question ID 425), Title (Question ID 399), and State/Province (Question ID 420) are displayed on search result results.

Screenshot B

The Edit Profile/Unsubscribe form in this example has one question: Email. You can create a form with as many questions as you wish. Notice the list of subscribed products and the option to renew or unsubscribe from each at the bottom of the form. You can select products that you don't want to appear on this form, e.g. promo mail lists, inactives, etc. This is done in the Other Setting section of the Config Manager.

Dashboard

Dashboard configurations allow you to set what components will appear in a Dashboard.

1 = True/Show; 0 = False/Don't Show

For example, in the screenshot above you will be able to select and pull statistics for Banner and Email Campaigns, but not for BG2GO supplier directory (if you have BG2GO). The BG2GO default is always "0".

Payment Method

If you will be using ONEcount forms and accepting payment through ONEcount, you'll need to configure this section. ONEcount currently uses the PayPal Payflow Pro payment gateway, so you'll need to have an account set up with them.

Simply enter the account information here and you're done!

Other Settings

*Not displaying products allows the fom to be use solely for changing demographic information, with no transactional activity. If you set this option to False, be sure that there's a mechanism in place for your users to opt out, e.g. one-click opt-out option where a user can simply click on a link to be removed from a list, rather than being sent to an edit profile/unsubscribe page OR that your email opt out link is the renewal link for a form and that the product being opted out of is attached to that form OR that you provide a contact email or telephone number to opt out.

This option is used in conjunction with "Edit Profile Form ID" under "Mappings" above.
