Connect is a mobile-friendly, easy-to-access feature that allows participants to apply for services, view and make updates to select information and gain a deeper understanding of their progress through the organization’s programs. This feature is designed to alleviate some of the administrative workload from day-to-day operations and give participants increased access to services and insight into their progress and achievements.
Using Connect's Administrator Features
Participant Type: This is a high-level view of the participant type and the registered/unregistered participants in Connect within that Tier 1.
NOTE: When you create a new Participant Type, you will not be able to change which Tier 1 form is assigned to that Participant Type retroactively, nor will you be able to archive or delete the Participant Type. It can, however, be renamed and repurposed. The fields used to map names and emails must be in unhidden sections.
Registered Participants: This view shows which participants within that Tier 1 are registered. This view also shows which of these registered participants are enabled and disabled.
Unregistered Participants: This view will show you which participants are currently unregistered.
Enabled: This will display the number of participant spots you have used. There is no limit to the number of Participants you can enable in a Participant Type.
Edit Permissions: Admin ability to change participant view/edit settings. Clicking the Edit Permissions button will allow you to configure the permissions for your participants.
Age Restriction: Notification for potential underage participants
Note: When registering or enabling participants in Connect, please limit to 1,000 at a time (subject to change). If exceeded, it may constitute email abuse by Amazon Web Services and may result in not all registered/enabled participants receiving welcome emails.
