The Organization Dashboard includes the ability for a member organization to login and edit their own content, as well as other privileges. These include:

1) Post new events

Member organizations can post a new event via their dashboard. However, new event entries still require approval by the site administrator before the event is launched to the public.

2) Edit existing events

Member organizations can edit approved events via their dashboard. Once the member edits their event it will NOT go back into the pending events queue. Changes will appear on the site immediately after the change has been submitted.

3) Post and/or edit their Organization Directory page

Member organizations have the opportunity to either enter new information about their organization or edit existing information. This information appears in the Organization Directory.

4) Post a news or review link

This feature allows the organization to copy and paste link information to news or review articles that exist on other websites. Currently the links must be associated with an existing event. These links will appear under the Media Reviews tab of the associated event listing and also under the organization's directory detail page Media Reviews tab.

5) View organization-related site usage statistics

The new Organization Dashboard includes a "Reports" tab that allows the organization to view the following information:

- org directory page views
- event page views
- Official Website link clicks
- Buy Tickets link clicks
- # of User Reviews posted

 Example of the Org Dashboard:

If you would like to provide a member organization access to their dashboard, you will need to create a login account for them via the "Users" control panel tab and then send them their login info. We currently do not allow member organizations to create their own logins in order to avoid possible errors with that organization associating themselves with the wrong member account.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOW TO CREATE AN ORGANIZATION LOGIN:

Step 1: Go to the Users tab in the Admin Control Panel > http://www.yoursitename.com/artsadmin/user

Step 2: Create a new User account by selecting "Add" at the bottom of the list of users; then "Save User"

Step 3: Find the user account you just created on the main Users list and then select the "Edit" link under the "Roles" column

Step 4: On the roles list select "Calendar Partner" and click "Save"

Step 5: Go back to the main Users list and find the user you created. This time select their link under the "Username" column

Step 6: On the User account form select the name of the organization you would like to associate that user with from the "Content Partner Org Association" drop menu; then click "Save User"

Step 7: Make note of their login; then you can test their account login at the following URL: http://www.yoursitename.com/partner/login

Once logged in you will see options for adding events, editing existing events, editing the org directory profile, adding news links, and viewing reports.
