Kavi® Showcase Help

Chapter 31. Add a Company Profile

Overview

Use the Add a Company Profile tool to add a profile for a company that exists in the Kavi® Members database but doesn't yet have a profile. You can set the Kavi Showcase profile to be updated automatically when the company record in Kavi Members is updated.

If you want to create a profile for a company that does not exist in the Kavi Members database, use Add an Independent Profile. If you want to create a profile for an Individual Member or Company Representative rather than a Member Company, use Add a User Profile. If you are a Showcase Super Admin and want to add profiles for multiple companies at once, use the Bulk Add Profiles tool, available in the Super Admin menu.

Use the Add a Company Profile tool to:

Manually add a company profile.

How to Add a Company Profile

Select Company

A list of all companies in the Kavi Members database for which profiles do not yet exist is displayed. Select the company for which you are creating this profile, then click Select.

Link Member

This page displays whether the profile is linked to a Kavi Members account. Most profiles are linked so that the profile owner's information only has to be updated in one place. If this profile is not linked to the owner's account, the profile information has to be updated independently of the information in the account.

Add Basics

Add basic contact information for this profile and assign a category.

Test Lab

This section is displayed if the Compliance feature is enabled.

General Contact Information

Provide contact information for this profile, including an email address and mailing address. The profile name field is prefilled with the name of the company that owns this profile, but you may edit the profile name if you want it to display differently in Kavi Showcase. If the 'Automatically Update Contact Information' option is set to 'Yes', you won't be able to edit this information.

Individual Contacts

Available contacts are displayed in the pulldown lists. Select a contact person and assign an appropriate Contact Type. With the exception of the default type 'Showcase User Editor', these are custom types managed through the Manage Profile Contact Types tool. These are semantic contact types (e.g., 'Marketing Contact', 'Sales Representative', etc.) that don't confer any access privileges.

The same user may be assigned as more than one type of contact for the same profile.

Categories

Assign an appropriate category to this profile. The profile appears under this category heading when displayed. Depending on configuration, you may be able to assign multiple categories. All categories are custom to your organization, added by a 'Showcase Super Admin' through the Manage Profile Categories tool.

Add Details

Enter details about the profile including keywords to enhance the ability of users to retrieve this profile in searches, reset the state if desired, enter a URL and upload the image to be displayed for this profile.

URL

View the URL for this profile. By default, this field is prefilled with the URL from the owner's record, if this URL is available in the Kavi Members database. Depending on configuration, you may be able to enter a different URL here.

Image/Logo

Browse or enter a URL for the image or logo to be displayed for this profile.

Description

Enter the description to be displayed for this profile.

Keywords

Enter keywords commonly used in profile searches to help visitors retrieve this profile, especially keywords that aren't present in the description. Keywords aren't displayed to visitors when they view the profile.

Display Publicly

Should this profile be Displayed Publicly? Set this option to 'Yes' if it should be displayed publicly or 'No' if it should remain visible to administrators and profile owners only.

Note

If this is set to 'No', the profile will not be displayed to visitors searching or browsing profiles.

State

The current state of the profile is displayed. You may leave this at the current setting or select a more appropriate value.

Activity Note

Add a note to this profile's activity history. This note will be visible to administrators only, and can be viewed using the Profile Activity History tool.

Preview & Save

A preview shows the way this profile will look when displayed in the showcase. If you want to make more changes, click Back. When you are satisfied with the results, click Save Profile.

Send Email

Select any scheduled email you want to send. The listed email is set NOT to go out by default, so you have to set the 'Send Email' option to 'Yes, send this email.', then review the message and edit if desired. When you press the Send Selected Email button, the email you selected will go out immediately. Each scheduled email is listed by name. This list only includes scheduled email managed through this application.

By default, each email in the queue is set NOT to go out. If you want to send this email, click the 'Yes, send this email.' radio button. You may edit the message if desired. Edits made here are applied only to this specific message, and do not affect the underlying template. Selected email is sent out immediately.
