Part VII. Kavi Members Admin Tools |

Table of Contents
Use the Manage a Company page to view a company's information and access the tools you need to edit company information, view its activity history, manage its users and deactivate or delete the company. Information presented here includes Company Types and whatever roles are conferred through these types and inherited by users who belong to the company. If the membership feature is enabled on your site and this is a Member Company, you can manage memberships here, too.
Remember that Kavi Members requires every user to be assigned to a company, so the term "company" applies generically to companies, nonprofits, academic institutions, government agencies, regional offices, fan clubs, etc. If your organization offers individual memberships, it may add Companies for Individuals to group Individual Members and Individual Nonmembers so they can be managed effectively.
Your organization may allow the 'Primary Contact' and other company administrators to edit their company's roster and other information as a way of dividing the workload between the organization and the company. The 'Primary Contact' and other company administrators use Kavi Members Company Admin tools to access their company's roster and other information. Your organization may reserve the ability to add new users, or edit the company name or url, for Organization Admins only.
Back to topSearch for a company or set of companies by setting any or all of the optional fields to refine the search criteria. When you are finished setting the search criteria, press Search. For faster searches, set multiple search criteria to retrieve a narrowed set of results. When multiple search fields are set, the results only include companies that match all search criteria.
If your search doesn't retrieve the results you need, use the Back button to return to the search step and reset the search parameters to retrieve a larger set of records (e.g., search by partial name instead of full name).
To view all available companies, leave all search fields set to their default values, but searches that retrieve a large number of records are inherently slower than searches that retrieve a small number of records, consume more system resources and can negatively affect site performance.
| Search Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Company Name | Enter a full or partial value for the company name. The search has partial match capabilities, so if you've entered the full name and didn't retrieve the information you seek, try entering a partial name to account for differences in spelling, abbreviations, punctuation, etc. |
| Status | Set this value to search for companies with this status type. This can be 'Active' or 'Inactive', or use the default value 'Any Status' to retrieve both active and inactive companies. |
| Company Type | Select a Company Type to retrieve companies with this type only, or use the default value 'All Company Types' to retrieve all types of companies. |
| Purpose | et this value to search for companies with a specific purpose. If set to the default, 'Any Purpose', the search results will return companies with any 'Purpose'. |
The results of your search are displayed. Select the company you want and click the Select button.
Information for the company you selected is displayed, along with links to tools you can use to manage this information.
| Link | Description |
|---|---|
| Edit | Click the edit link to go to the Edit a Company tool where you can walk through forms displaying this company's account information and change data as needed. |
| Edit Admin Info | Click the Edit Admin Info link to skip directly to the Admin Info form. |

You may add an Activity Note for future reference. |

| Email Primary Contacts | Click this link to Send Template Blast to this company's Primary Contact(s). You may change the email template and personalize the message if you wish. |

| Company Types | Company Types assigned to this company (independently of any that might be assigned through membership). All this company's users inherit roles associated with these types. 'General' Company Types may be associated with roles that provide basic website access.
