First Impressions - Vaccination Status

Overview

First Impressions allow for presenting the member with information immediately upon logging in, forcing them to view it before being able to continue to the website. They can be used and shown to individual members, staff, and group(s).  They have the option to select the time frame this page will be active, when it expires, and how many times it will display to users.

Accessing the Tool

To access the First Impressions tool, use the grey Admin bar and select First Impression.

The following First Impressions Interface will launch.

The First Impression Listing will list Active Pages, Pending Pages, and Expired Pages. From the interface, you may Add a New listing, or edit Active, Pending, and Expired Listings. You may also View any of the listings and access Stats on each listing.

 Activate & Expiration: sets when the the listing will post and when it will expire. Launches the date picker and time picker.

 Display Count: determines how many times the listing will display on each login.

  • Set 0 for Continuous, which means the listing will display every time the selected users login until the listing expires.

  • If set for “1”, this will display the listing only once, so that once the user logs in and sees the listing, the listing will not display upon next login.

Order: if more than one First Impression page is active during the same time frame, you may enter in which order the listings will appear. Enter “1” for the listing to show first.

Best Practices

  1. Be conscious of how often members should see a First Impression listing. It is always best to only show the listing once so members do not need to see the listing every time they login. If a listing is shown every time upon login, this can deter users from logging in since they are unable to immediately go to their desired location on the website.

  2. First Impressions are a great way to signal users to update their profile, or to alert members to an urgent message.

  3. Use Target Marketing with First Impressions by using the listings to target specific users by selecting a Static Group to show the listing to. This will ensure the message is delivered to the right users.

  4. Keep messages short and to the point within the listing so members can easily read and access the information. For longer messages, link to another page or article.
