Create a Member Database & Print Mailing Labels

Get in touch with us

One really useful feature of your teamthing.com website is that you can create a customized list of all your member details.

 

Once this list has been compiled it can be exported and used to print mailing labels.

 

In this article we describe how you can quickly add member lists and export your list to a csv file, all from within your teamthing.com dashboard.

 

Projects  = Database

Every teamthing.com website comes loaded with a plugin called the ‘Projects’ plugin.projects_menu

This plugin is used to create lists/databases of details about anything related to your site e.g. members, objects, players etc.

Every site will already have a single ‘Members’ project created for you to start adding member details to your site. You can change this project, delete it, or add a completely new project/database using the ‘Projects’ menu.

For the sake of this article, we will only show how to edit the existing ‘Members’ project that has already been created for you.

 

Members Database

The members database project has already been created for you and all options are available from the members menu in your dashboard.

The menu contains the following sub menus:

  • Overview: Gives you an overview of all entered member details
  • Add Dataset: Brings you to a screen where you can quickly add a new member
  • Form Fields: Define what details you wish to collect about the member e.g. phone number, D.O.B. etc
  • Settings: Where you can define settings related to the project e.g. project name, default image settings etc.
  • Categories: Add/Edit categories used within your site.
  • Import/Export: Import your list from a csv file, or export your data to a csv file.

To add a new member:

  • Click the Members>Overview menu item from your dashboard.
  • Click the ‘Add Dataset’ link from the top of the screen.
