When “adding” a
new member to your club, the club secretary puts in a “0″
for the RI ID# (unless they already have an RI ID#
from being a member of another club).
NOTE: Only RI
assigns the membership number to new members! When you ADD a new
member, we immediately send this information to RI, and then when
they process it. The new member gets their RI ID# assigned
in the RI database (but NOT in the
DaCdb).
Also, the newly assigned RI ID# shows up on ANY reports from RI
(such as the CRS and SAR).
So, the Club
Secretary must update the new member records in the
DaCdb
with the newly assigned RI ID#. We have added another “quick link”
to the Member Roster (while Viewing your Club Membership). New
members (after 30 days) that still have a “0″ RI ID#,
will have a “0″ link into the RI database; this “0″ link is
after their Name, and before the Edit link in the member roster.
Here are the steps to get the RI ID# from the RI database and then
update the Member record in the District and Club database (DaCdb).
1. Click on the
“0″ link after the Member’s name (this takes you to the RI
database).
2. Sign IN - using the UserName and Password at RI database, as
required
3. Click ON the [Update Membership Data] (It is the first selection
on left side)
4. VIEW the record
of the MEMBER you are researching
5. Copy the assigned RI Membership ID (highlight and CTL+C)
6. Then go back to
the DaCdb
screen,
and EDIT Member who has the “0″ RI ID#
7. Paste their RI ID# into the Membership ID field (CTL+V)
8. Click UPDATE button to apply change to database
That’s it
9. Now click ON the [<-BACK] button twice and
go to the NEXT “0″ member to edit in district database, and
proceed to step #4 above to get next member record…
(then, VIEW record of that member in the RI database).
ANOTHER
option is to get the RI ID# from the printed Semi-Annual Report (SAR)
that comes from RI in January and July. Then use steps 6-9 above to
update the member record in the
DaCdb,
using the RI ID# assigned.
