Setting Up a New Affiliate

There are three childforms under the Affiliate Information tab that you must consider and set-up before you begin adding affiliates.

 

Click the Add hyperlink to add a new option just as you normally would with a set-up option. They are: Affiliate Type, Affiliate Status, and Affiliate Region. Each is described below.

  • Affiliate Type – used to designate what type of group or affiliate you are adding such as a chapter or section.
  • Affiliate Status – used to specify the status of an affiliate such as active, pending and so forth.
  • Affiliate Region – used to designate the location of an affiliate.

Once you have defined your set-up options, you are ready to begin adding affiliates.
