Review, edit or delete added memberships

When memberships are added or imported, the system automatically analyzes the memberships to identify those missing required data and/or those that potentially match existing member profiles within your chapter. If a potential match is found, an FFA ID will be provided in the FFA ID column.

Memberships highlighted in red are missing required data. Hover your mouse over the row to see which data points need to be added. Click the to edit.

Review:

Before registering your memberships, it is important to carefully review your added/imported memberships. Look for:

• Memberships that were left off/omitted and need to be added
• Memberships missing required data and need to be edited
• Duplicate and/or unintentionally added memberships that need to be deleted

Analyze added/imported membership(s) again:

Even though the system analyzes the data when added/imported, you may find it helpful to analyze the memberships again.

1. Select Membership(s) to analyze by one of the following methods:
   • Select checkboxes to analyze one or more memberships
   • Click the top-left checkbox to analyze all memberships on the current page
   • Choose Select all ## memberships to analyze all memberships on all pages – This option only appears when there are more than 20 memberships
2. Click Analyze Added Membership(s)

Watch for a message at the top of the screen. A green success message indicates all required data points were supplied and no potential matches were found. A yellow warning message indicates one of the following:

• Memberships are missing required data
• A potential match to an existing member profile was found within your chapter and may require further review
• Memberships are missing required data and a potential match was found

Potential match(es):

If a potential match is found, you can review the similarities between the existing member profile data (i.e., text in red) and the imported member profile data (i.e., text in the editable fields). After reviewing:

1. Select one of the following options:
   • Update Existing Member – Implies, YES, this is the same person; keep this FFA ID and update his or her profile upon registering
   • Treat as New Member – Implies, NO, this is a completely different person; assign a new FFA ID upon registering
   • Discard – Deletes the membership from the Register Added Memberships section only
2. Click Save. Watch for a green success message at the top of the screen.

Export added/imported membership(s):

If you have multiple memberships to review, you may find it easier to review your added/imported memberships in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

1. Click the – A Microsoft Excel file will be generated
2. Retrieve the Microsoft Excel file – Locating the downloaded file will depend on your internet browser

After identifying memberships that are missing required data, you can now edit the membership(s).

   • High School Graduation Year (Students)
   • High School Graduation Month (Students in Grade 12)
4. Review and/or add the following state-required data points (Students):
   • Email – may be required by your state, check your chapter profile
   • Gender – may be required by your state, check your chapter profile
   • Race/Ethnicity – may be required by your state, check your chapter profile
5. Click Save. Watch for a green success message at the top of the screen.

6. Next, choose one of the following options:
   • Click Return if you have additional memberships to edit and/or register
   • Click Register to register this membership only

If you chose Register, watch for a green success message at the top of the screen.

Edit multiple added memberships:

If you have several memberships missing required data, it may be easier and more efficient to edit your original roster template and then re-import the template. If you choose this method, first, you will need to delete your existing added/imported memberships, as they will not be overwritten by the new import.

Final review

• Memberships awaiting your approval
  • Renewed
  • Added/Imported
  • Self-registered (Except Alumni memberships paid via PayPal)
