Your Association Settings are where you manage your organization's contact information, some brand elements, enable or disable select features, and set the defaults for your members' experience and interaction with your website.

To access Association Settings:

  • On the backend of your site, click the gear icon (top right).

  • In the drop-down menu, under Settings, click Association Settings

  • A new window will pop up with a navigation menu of settings for your organization.

Learn more about each of the tabs below...


Alerts

  • Novi Tip: If you copy/paste your verbiage into either alert, be sure to paste as text!


Association

  • Update your organization's logo, name or abbreviation, time zone, and contact information (including Address, Phone, and Fax).


Communication

  • Add or update the social media links listed in the footer and on the Contact Us page on your website.


Blog

  • Update the name, tagline, and default featured image of your Blog pages.

  • The URL prefix may also be updated, but a note of caution as changes could result in broken site navigation, as well as bookmarked or saved links. If your organization is needing to update the URL, consider using 301 redirects to avoid navigation errors. *Note: Similarly, updates to the URL prefix for Membership, Events, or Ecommerce should be done with caution.


Membership

  • Change the default featured image for your website membership pages, if your site template uses featured images. This image will display throughout the member directory pages.

  • Customize your Member List Stage by adding a custom field to be summed and displayed among member type summary information. Only numerical fields, like unit count, number of employees, etc., will be available here.

  • Select which Custom Field you want to use as your Member List Filter, which will allow you to search by the values of that custom field when in Member List View or in event Attendee Lists.

    • Note: Novi only allows one custom field as search criteria to maintain the performance of the Member List and Attendee Lists and keep your search results clean.

  • Includes settings for the Member Directory and Member Compass (see below).

    • Enable or disable users with management access to be able to edit their company's staff.

    • Allow staff members with management access to move staff to another parent.

    • Enable the ability for renewal from the member compass, with or without the ability to update member type.

    • Set the Member Compass Dashboard Default Content
      (This content will show for non-members, prospects, expired members, and any member types that don’t have Member Compass Dashboard Override text.)

  • Member-to-Member Contact Form

    This option allows site users to contact members and officers via a form that appears from their profiles (such as in a directory), rather than showing their direct email address. Please read the Member-to-Member Contact Form article for more information.

    • Check to enable the member-to-member contact form (emails will be hidden in the member directory). Uncheck to disable.

    • After enabling the member-to-member contact form, the ability to edit the subject line, header, and footer regions of the form will appear. Learn more.

    • Utilize the Contact Form Limit setting to limit the number of messages a user can send to other members via the contact form. The system will check a few different identification points for users to enforce this limitation.

  • The URL prefix can be updated in this section. Note: Changes here will update the URL for your organization's Events page and could result in navigation errors for site visitors.

  • Add a unique message that will be displayed only on event invoices.

  • Choose to display (or not display) your Event Policy (aka cancellation policy). You also have the option to make it required at checkout so attendees can confirm they've read the policy.
