Breakdown of the Tabs

General Information

The fields and options will vary slightly between an organization profile and individual profile. Most of them are straight-forward (e.g., Address, City, and State), but several are listed below for clarification:

Report Name: This is how the individual or organization will appear when searching MC Trade or running a report. Click here for more information about all of the name fields.
Inherit Address: This option allows you to tell this profile to automatically use the address entered for a related profile. If you place a check here, a drop down list of Related Profiles will appear. Choosing a related profile will link the address fields of this profile to the address fields of the related profile.
Inherit Phone: This option allows you to tell this profile to automatically use the phone numbers entered for a related profile. If you place a check here, a drop down list of Related Profiles will appear. Choosing a related profile will link the phone number fields of this profile to the phone number fields of the related profile.

If you check either inherit options and click Save, you may have to refresh the page for the address to appear. If it does not appear, you may want to confirm that the related profile even has an address.

Default Phone: This allows you to choose which Phone Type should be displayed in the relationship grid (when viewing this profile's relationship to another profile).
DBA Name: This allows you to store the "Doing Business As" name of an organization.
Preferred Method of Billing: In MC Trade, you may either send a printed invoice or email a link to the invoice. This option allows you to change the profile's preferred method, so that, for example, you can search for profiles that have Email as the preference.
Number of Full-Time and Number of Part-Time Employees: These numbers will also appear on the Profile View screen and can be added as criteria in the Profile Selector. For example, you search for profiles that have more than 100 full-time employees.
Customers: Similar to the previous in that it can be added as criteria in the Profile Selector.
Profile Status: This allows you to choose from a list of profile status codes, if these have been set up (Admin > Manage Codes > Profile Codes > Profile Status). A profile status code can indicate a member's standing (e.g., Active and Inactive) or can indicate why a non-member is in the database (e.g., Former Member or Vendor).

The profile status code can be automatically assigned through membership levels or automatically taken away through drop automation.

Assigned To: This allows you to assign the profile to a user who could be responsible for retention or outreach efforts.
Sold-By: This allows you to indicate the user that should appear in the line items of an invoice as the default sold-by user (although this can be changed).
Prospect: This classifies the profile as a prospect.
Do Not Send Email: If you place a check here, you are indicating that this profile should not receive email. There is criteria on the Profile Selector for this and a warning if you attempt to email anyone who has been set to not receive email.

Affiliation Codes

The Affiliation Codes tab allows you to choose from a list of Affiliation Codes on the left and click the arrow to move each wanted code to the right or move each unwanted code back to the left.

Billing

The Billing tab allows you to create a billing record which will be used when you generate invoices.

The Billing Cycle will be the schedule used when you generate invoices (Revenue > Generate Invoices). See the example below.

Example: Assume that your anchor is March 1, 2024.

Billing cycle	Billing will fall on
Every Month	March-December of 2024 and then every month of 2025 and on
Every 3 Months	March, June, September, and December of every year
Every 6 Months	March and September of every year
Every 12 Months	March of 2024, March of 2025, and on

The Yearly Total will first determine a monthly total by multiplying the Amount Unit Price and Quantity. Then it will multiple the monthly total by 12 months.
The Base Price, if clicked and entered, will be added after (Amount Unit Price x Quantity + Base Price) while the Flat Fee, if clicked and entered, will override everything - the Amount Unit Price, Quantity, and Base Price.

Web Portal Credentials

The Web Portal Credentials tab allows you to manage this profile's username and password for the member portal.

The username can be defined or left blank and the profile's e-mail address would be used.
The username and password may be set manually or set by pushing a reset link to the member.
Another option is to push the reset link to the member in a customized email (Communication > Send Email) which means this could be sent out to multiple profiles at once.
