Overview
The Cards feature allows you to create ID cards or certificates for your members or participants. These cards are generated with specific information when certain criteria are met, such as program registrations, member or participant creations, or during the login process.
The Cards page is found by navigating to Forms & Documents > Cards. In order to access the Cards page, you will need the following permissions: Admin, Manage Policies.
Create A Card
- Select New Card
- Add the Card information as desired
- Select Create New Card
To create a Card please navigate to the Cards page. Select New Card from the toolbar to open the Card form. Fill in the form information as desired and click Create New Card to save your new card.
Policy Information
Card Type: The type of policy you are creating. While Uplifter's default term is "card" you can create your own terms like "certificate", "ID Card", etc. You can then select the desired card type.
Card Name: The name of your policy. Seen in many locations and often used as a link for users to click on to view the details of the policy.
Card Status: The status of your card which can be either Public - will be show on the public side under the correct circumstances; or Unavailable - removed from public-side application and display. Perfect for policies you don't need right now, but wish to retain for later.
Applies To: The individual to whom the card applies. This can either be the member or the participant.
Presented At: The moment/time at which the card is generated. This can be during the invoice creation, when a specific payment method is selected, on member or participant creation (based on the Applies To option selected), or Creation & Login (based on the Applies To option selected).
Payment Method: The payment method users must select in order for the policy to be displayed. Only an option when using the Payment option in Presented At.
Duration of Card: How long the Card is valid for after it has been created. This can be None, meaning it is generated every time the Applies To/Present At settings are met; Effective Until, meaning it is generated once if prompted within the set time frame; Expiry, meaning the card is valid until your duration passes; or In Perpetuity, meaning only generated once and is valid until the card is deactivated. Please see our section Card Durations below.
End Date/Duration: The duration value entered when selecting a Policy Acceptance Duration that requires a value to be set.
Required: Card must be ACCEPTED to complete an invoice: Make the policy mandatory. This means the policy must be viewed and accepted in order to proceed. Leaving this unchecked means the policy must still be viewed, but does not require the user to accept.
Email the policy for acceptance to the primary account holder for a participant: Toggle whether or not an email is sent out in advance of the event. Available only when using Apply To: Participant; Presented At: Event Attendance.
Store a copy of accepted policies: Mark this to prompt the system to store a PDF copy of all accepted policies. This is useful if you will have many policies on a single invoice, or have members who will have many policies accepted over time. By saving a copy you can download the results much faster as the system will not be regenerating a new PDF upon request. Please note that this feature takes up space on your Uplifter database and exceeding 10GB on your database is subject to fees. Only enable this if you require it.
Skate Canada Season for COVID-19 Waiver : This drop down allows you to associate a Skate Canada season to your policy for purposes of submission to Skate Canada. This should only be used for your official COVID 19 waiver, and only once per year.
Presentation Details
Preview: Click the preview button any time to see how your policy will look to end users.
Min Member/Participant Age (Age of Majority): The minimum age a member/participant must be in order to accept the policy. Setting this value alone has no effect. You must also use the Prompt to Acknowledge Age of Majority setting if you wish to enforce the age requirement.
Max Participant Age to Present Policy: Set the maximum age a participant can be before the policy is no longer presented to them. For example, setting this to 17 would mean that 18 year old participants would not see the policy.
Prompt to Acknowledge Age of Majority : Toggle whether or not a member/participant must meet your Min Member/Participant Age (Age of Majority) age settings before they can accept the policy.
Only Present If Participant is Age of Majority : Toggle whether the policy will be displayed to all users or only those who are above the Min Participant Age (Age of Majority) setting.
Prompt to Acknowledge Identity: Set whether the user must confirm their identity as the parent/legal guardian or participant (based on Apply To settings) when accepting.
Request digital signature as typed name : Toggle whether or not the default signature request box is appended to the bottom of the policy. This signature box must have a value entered before the user can proceed. Though, please note that there is no validation on the data they enter, so they could potentially enter gibberish.
Allow policy acceptance to be sent to another party by email: Offer the ability for users to defer the acceptance of the policy and send it to another user via email. If your policy is set to be required (must accept), then the initial user will be restricted from moving forward until their recipient has received and accepted the policy.
Policy Details: The core content of your policy that users will view and accept/reject. Please see the Policy Details section below for more information on using this feature.
Registration Checkout & Invoices
Link To: The products and/or programs that will prompt the display of this policy. Only available when selecting the Invoice option for Presented At. Note that you can tag categories and category levels instead of each individual program. Please see our article Tagging for more information.
Remember to hit Create New Policy when you are happy with your policy's setup.
Edit/Replace a Policy
- Click Edit
- Update the information as desired
- Select to Replace Policy
To edit a policy/waiver select the Edit option to the right of the desired policy. The policy, in its current state, will populate in a pop-up. Update the information and tags applied to the policy as desired and select to Replace Policy.
Please note that most changes to your policy settings or content will actually generates a new policy. This is so that Uplifter can track the versions and variations that have been reviewed and accepted by each user. As such, there may be circumstances where editing a policy requires users to re-accept it. This may be confusing for some users, especially if it was just a simply typo that was changed so please be sure to verify and validate policy information before releasing it to the users.
Preview A Policy
- Click Preview
While creating or editing a policy/waiver you can preview the policy by clicking Preview at the top left of the Presentation Details section. This will showcase a preview of the policy as your end users will see things. At the top right you will see three icons.
Font Selection: This icon will be visible to users on the public side as well. Clicking this icon allows the user to select a font for their signature. This icon only displays if there is a signature or initials element in your policy.
Download PDF: This icon is only available to you on the admin side during the preview and will not be available to end users during their review of a policy. Click this icon to see what the PDF version of the policy will look like. Please note that after users have accepted a policy they can then access a PDF version of the policy on various pages (depending on the type of policy).
Test Ages: This icon is only available to you on the admin side during the preview and will not be available to end users during their review of a policy. Click this icon to test varying ages for your member and/or participant to review what will display. This icon only displays if there are sections with differing age requirements within your policy.
Copy A Policy
- Click Copy
- Update any desired information
- Click Create New Policy
To copy a policy/waiver simply select the Copy icon to the right of the policy listing. The system will generate a new policy with all of the same information and settings. You can then adjust any elements you wish and click Create New Policy at the bottom to save.
Reorder Your Policies
- Drag and drop your policy into your desired order
Your policy order can be quickly updated by simply dragging and dropping them into the preferred order. Please note that you do have to 'grab' them by their left-most side, indicated with the textured edge.
Deactivate a Policy
- Select to Deactivate
To deactivate a policy/waiver from your site select the Deactivate icon to the right of the policy name. Deactivation is technically permanent so please ensure you have all desired elements you wish to retain from the policy before deleting it. However, you can Copy deactivated policies which would effectively re-enable them. Though the system would see this as a new policy so though who have already accepted the older, deactivated version would have to accept the new, copied version again.
Policy Acceptance Duration
The duration of a policy can have an effect on how often it is presented and when it is no longer valid. The following duration options can be selected. Please note that some duration may not be available depending on your Apply To and Presented At settings.
None
When the Policy Acceptance Duration is set to None the policy is presented each time your Presented At settings are met. The policy then expires immediately, meaning if a user were to complete their activity and once again prompt the system by hitting the same Presented At setting, the policy would display again.
For example, a policy with a Presented At setting of Invoice would show the policy one time, each time a user creates an invoice in the system. This could be within seconds or years of one another.
Be careful with this setting when used in tandem with the Presented At setting of Creation & Login, as this will mean users have to review the policy each time they log into your organization's Uplifter system.
Effective Until
When the Policy Acceptance Duration is set to Effective Until the policy is presented one time, at the selected Presented At location, between the moment of policy creation and the set End Date. Once the End Date is met the policy expires and is no longer valid. This means users will no longer be prompted to review/accept the policy, though it will still exist in your system.
Users are made aware of the End Date you have set during the policy acceptance. As such, this is an effective option for policies that are temporary for your organization.
Should you need to adjust the End Date before it has been met this will affect users on a go-forward basis. This means users who have already accepted the policy before the adjustment will not have to accept again until the original date is met, at which time they will have to accept the policy again should they meet the Presented At setting. Users who accept the policy after the adjustment will not need to accept again.
If you would like to enforce a renewed acceptance for users who have accepted the policy with the original date you can update the content of the Policy Details and save. The change you make can even be as small as adding a space. Once saved it will populate the policy on the Policy page for each user who has accepted the past instance.
Adjusting the End Date after the original date has been met resets the policy and all users will have to accept it once more, once they reach the selected Presented At location.
For example, a policy with a Presented At setting of Invoice would show the policy one time upon a user's first time checking out since the policy creation. They would then not have to accept again regardless of how many times they checked out after that. The policy/waiver's "applicability" would then expire on the set date.
Expiry
When the Policy Acceptance Duration is set to Expiry the policy is presented once per duration, at the selected Presented At location. Once the duration is met, the policy is automatically renewed and must be accepted again.
Updating the Duration settings of an Expiry policy will affect users on a go-forward basis. This means that users who have already accepted the policy will need to meet the original Duration settings before being presented with the policy again. At that time the new Duration will be used.
For example, a policy with a Presented At setting of Creation & Login would show the policy one time upon the user's login into the system. They would then not see the policy again until the next Duration is met. At that time the policy would be presented once again for them to accept.
In Perpetuity
When the Policy Acceptance Duration is set to In Perpetuity the policy is presented one time at the selected Presented At location. Once the policy has been accepted it is never show again to the end user. Making changes to the Policy Details will prompt all users who have previously accepted the policy to accept the newest version.
For example, a policy with a Presented At setting of Invoice would show the policy one time upon the user checking out. Thereafter, the policy would never show again, regardless of how many times the user checked out.
Policy Details
The Policy Details section allows clubs to add policy content and format it in their preferred way. Further, insertable fields and age controls give clubs complete control over what is shown and how.
Adding Content
Adding content to your policy is the same as doing so on the public pages. The system uses the TINYMCE WYSIWYG editor to allow for rich content to be added and structured how you like. If you have ever used Microsoft Word, or similar word processor, many of the features will already be familiar to you.
Insert Fields
Insert fields can be added to your policy content by clicking the Insert Field option along the WYSIWYG toolbar. Find the desired item and select it to insert the placeholder for that field (indicated by square brackets surrounding the text). You can then format that placeholder however you wish, just like any other piece of text in the editor. Click Preview to see the results of any changes.
Please note that the content in the above GIF is for example purposes only and you should confirm with your team/lawyer about what your policy details should say.
Adding A Policy Section
Adding a new policy/waiver section is as easy as clicking Add Policy Section at the bottom of the Policy Details. This will insert a new section with its own toolbar and content. By having more than one section you also activate the ability to apply additional controls on each section (see below).
Section Visibility/Control
With multiple section in your policy details you will now have access to section visibility/control. This is accessible by clicking on the small gear icon in the bottom left of a section when hovering over the section or after clicking to edit. This tool lets you select and set age range requirements. By setting a specific age requirement the section will only be visible to those who meet the requirement. While editing your policy you can hover over sections to see their visibility in a tool tip.
Where Does a Card Show?
Depending on how you have set up your policy it may show in different areas of the site. Additionally, if you are encountering these from the public side (as a regular user) or as an admin through the admin tools, their locations and presentation may differ. Please see below for a list of instances.
User Experience
Member Creation Policy
A member creation policy will show at the time of account creation. If your policy is set to mandatory a user will not be able to generate a member account within your system without accepting the policy.
Participant Creation Policy
A participant creation policy will show at the time of profile creation. If your policy is set to mandatory a user will not be able to generate a participant profile within your system without accepting the policy.
Invoice Policy
A invoice policy will show at the time of checkout. If your policy is set to mandatory a user will not be able to complete a purchase within your system without accepting the policy.
Payment Policy
A payment policy will show at the time of checkout after the specified payment method is selected. If your policy is set to mandatory a user will not be able to complete a purchase within your system, using that payment method, without accepting the policy.
Member Policy Page
The Member Policy Page can be found on the member's account. By selecting the Policies sub-menu option the user can review their pending and recurring policies.
Please note, some policies may require immediate action. Specifically policies that use the Presented At option of Creation & Login. This setting can/will forcibly move users to their Policies page if action is required by them. As such, please be mindful of when you release your policies and try your best to have them established before opening registration.
Admin Experience
Member Creation Card
Admins will not see member-level policies during the creation of members from the admin side. Instead, after the admin has created the member, the policy will be presented to the member on their Policies page.
Participant Creation Card
Admins will not see participant-level policies during the creation of participants from the admin side. Instead, after the admin has created the participant, the policy will be presented to the member on their Policies page.
Invoice Policy
Invoice policies can be seen by the admin during the creation of invoices from the admin side. It is recommended that you click Calculate during the invoice creation process (unless your current process explicitly requires that you do not). By doing so, the system will automatically apply the appropriate policies to the invoice based on the purchases being made. These will be seen at the bottom of the invoice. Note that you can add further policies to the invoice if desired.
Policies added to invoices in this manner will need to be accepted by the member via their Policies page once the invoice is posted.
Payment Policy
Adding Additional Cards To Invoices
Cards can be added manually to a user's invoice. This can occur during the creation or edit of a user's invoice via the admin side of the system. During creation/edit you will find the +Policies tab next to similar tabs for programs and products. Select this tab and choose the Add icon next to the desired policy you wish to add to the invoice. Once you post the invoice any policies that have not yet been accepted will be presented to the user via their Policy Page.
