Adding Members and Guests
 
Previous Topic: Accounts Report Next Topic: Administrative Tools
Club officers can add members and guests to the Club Roster by clicking on the Add Members and Invite Guests icons on the Club Roster or the Invites pages.

The Adding Members and Guests form allows the club officer to add a new person(s) to the Club Roster as either an online or an offline member.

An online member is included in the club's roster and accounting records, can log into bivio to view the club's books and member information (other than the Social Security Numbers of other members), will have their own bivio email address, and will receive a copy of any email sent to the club's address. To add a new online member simply enter the person's name and email address on the Adding Members and Guests form. If desired, you may also include a personal message that will be sent along with the invitation and instructions on how to join your club as an online member. Once this new member receives the email invitation and joins your club as an online member, following the instructions included in the email invitation, they will be able to enjoy all the benefits of an online member of your club. Additional information for this new online member, such as address, phone, and Social Security Number, may be added or edited by a club officer or the member themselves via the Club Roster.

An offline member is included in the club's roster and accounting records but will not have a bivio email address, cannot access club data or member information online, and cannot be listed as a club officer in bivio. To add an offline member simply enter the new member's name on the Adding Members and Guests form and click OK. You can Additional information for this new member, such as address, phone, and Social Security Number, may be added or edited by a club officer on via the Club Roster. To later bring an offline member online, an officer may simply click on the Bring online action to the right of the applicable offline member's name on the Club Roster.

Inviting guests to your bivio club is as simple as going to Administration > Invites or to Administration > Roster and clicking on the Invite Guests icon. This will cause the Invite Guests form to be displayed. The Invite Guests form allows the club officer to send an email invitation to the guest(s). Upon receipt of the invitation and once each person signs up with your club as a guest, following the instructions included in the email invitation, each person will be added to the Club Roster as a guest. They will then be able to enjoy all the benefits as a guest of your club. A guest is not a legal partner of your club. Guests have limited privileges. They can view the club's data and member personal data (except social security numbers), but they cannot upload files and they do not receive messages sent to your club. Guests cannot buy units in your club, nor can they perform any functions as an officer of the club.

To subsequently convert a guest into a member of your club, an officer must click on the Make Member action to the right of the guest's name on the Club Roster. The Invite Guest to become Member form will be displayed requiring the officer to confirm that the club does indeed wish to give member privileges to the guest. An invitation to become a member of your club will then be emailed to the guest on your behalf. By agreeing to become a member, the guest is giving club officers the right to view and modify their Tax ID, Name, Address, and Phone number, if required, in the Club Roster. Once agreeing to become a member, by clicking on the link in the email invitation, this person has full privileges as a member of the club.
