ARCOS 7 Help

Edit Person

The Edit Person screen provides a comprehensive view of an individual member of your list.

At the top of the screen you will see the basic contact information that is known about this person: his or her name, email address, and physical address along with a Map button to pull up the address on a map.

Edit Person header

You will also see:

Member Since

The date this person first entered the ARCOS database. A person may enter the database in one of several ways: by submitting a form on your website; by being entered directly in ARCOS by an administrator (either manually or in a batch upload); or by direct import from a third-party database if ARCOS is integrated with one for your organization.

Joined Via

The way in which this person first entered the ARCOS database. Usually this is one of two things: either 1) a URL (link) to a form on your website or 2) a list upload source code. A list upload source code lets you know that this person entered the database via a list upload and the source code identifies which upload it was.

Referred By

If at any point before this person entered the ARCOS database they received a tell-a-friend email from your website, the Referred By field will appear on the person's record. It lets you know who sent them the tell-a-friend email.

The following actions are available at the top of the Edit Person screen:

Edit Email

Lets you set or change the email address associated with this person

Set Password

Lets you set or change the password associated with this person's account on your website

Add Payment

Lets you process a credit card transaction for this person, or add a record of a cash, check, or credit card payment that has already been made

Opt Out

The Opt Out checkbox at the top right corner of the Edit Person screen indicates whether this person has opted out of your global email stream (checked) or not (unchecked). A person who has opted out may not be emailed through ARCOS. To opt a person out, check the checkbox and click the green Save button at the bottom of the screen.

Further down the page you will see a set of tabs:
