If you've a new email address or a new telephone number, please check Update My Details on your home page, and update the record. Any changes you make will automatically update the records in the Office.
The details are used by:
- The club to communicate with you
- BRS (Timesheets) - you'll get an email when your name is added or removed from a timesheet
- Directory of Members - you can opt in or opt out of the directory.
Directory of Members - Decide if you want a listing in the directory
The Directory of Members is not linked to the BRS Timesheets. You will receive an email when your names goes on a timesheet, even if you are not listed in the Directory of Members.
Only members have access to The Directory of Members. The public do not have access.
If you want your name to appear in the directory you must give the system permission to display your name. If you are happy for your name to appear in the Directory of Members, set the setting to "opt in".
If you do not want your name to appear in the Directory of Members, you can "opt out" by changing the setting to "opt out".
Decide what you want fellow members to see
If you "opt in" you must choose the information that you want to appear in the Directory of Members. If the checkbox in the ‘Publish?’ column is not ticked then that piece of information will not be visible to other members. For example, if “Publish” is not ticked beside your address, then your address will not show up in the directory.
The diagram shows you my account. My name, email address and mobile is published in the directory. My land line is not published, because the Publish check box beside the number is not ticked.
If you "opt in" please ensure there is a check mark beside your name and telephone number or email address.
There are numerous records where a member has "opted in" but removed check mark beside their name and telephone number. This produces an entry in the directory with no name!
Security - Only you can change the record
If you make a change to My Details, you'll be asked to re-enter your password before saving the changes. This is to check that it's you who made the change.
It's a good idea to check that everything is OK
When you’re finished, check your listing in the Directory of Members to ensure everything is OK. If nothing shows up, or you're not happy, go back to Update My Details and check the “opt in” and "Publish" selections.
An example of a listing in the Directory of Members
This is my entry in the Directory of Members. It only contains my name, a photo, email address and a mobile number. I've chosen not to display my address or land line.
If you need help, why not talk to a fellow member?
