I've noticed a new area within the member tab: position. Can you tell me how it is used, please
Thanks

Hi Julie,

Great question!

Positions are actually used by some chapters to keep record of and to indicate who holds which Position within the Chapter. A lot of chapters use this for President, VP of Communications, etc. You can set a start and end date as well, thus keeping track of which positions a person has held throughout the years.

Hope this helps! If you have any other questions about positions, just let me know.

What happens when a member has two positions? For example, President and Board of Directors. You want to note the position, but be able to filter by Board. Will this then count this member twice in the totals?

Hi Kyle,

A member can have as many positions as they'd like on the website. If they hold the position of Board Member and President, the filters on the website will still work correctly if you are filtering them by position. For example if you have a member in both of those roles and you use the filters to look for someone in the "President" position, the member will still appear once the filter is ran, even though they are listed in two positions.

The member will only be counted once in the totals, since they only have one member record. Positions do not effect total number of members or hours on the website.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Thank you!
