Dear ,
We are writing to inform you that we “GO LIVE” today with our new database and website.
The changes we have made will provide our members with improved information management,
better and more efficient communications, and enhanced support for our Chapters. Our new site
is very dynamic and we need you to visit it as soon as possible to update your preferences and
update your information. (Please note that people visiting the site must be signed in as a
member to see any of the information that you are allowing. Non-members visiting the site, or
members not signed in, cannot see your informationl.)
So that you can sign in as soon as possible, we have set your userID to be
FirstnameLastname. Your password has been set to rvwpassword1 (all lower case letters).
So, here is what we would like for you to do:
1) Sign in using the userID and password described above.
2) Once you sign in successfully, you should be presented with the My Preferences page. If
not, skip to instruction #3. If you are presented with the My Preferences page, please
UNCHECK any boxes of My Preferences that appear that you do NOT wish to use on the site.
If it is unclear as to what the feature is, just UNCHECK it for now. You can change this in the
future, if you change your mind. So, ONLY leave check marks next to features that you know
you want to use in the system. Save settings.
3) Next, click on Manage Profile on the right hand side. Go into EDIT BIO.
• Change your userID and password to something you can remember. You should not
keep your start up userID and password.
• Please update ALL information on this page so we will have current information for you.
• Any field that has a little box to its left (like email, address, etc.) simply CHECK it if
you want it to appear as part of your information on the web site. (Reminder – people
visiting the site must be signed in as a member to even see the items you checked on the
list. Non-members or members not signed do not see your information). Simply leave
the little boxes Unchecked if you do not want them to appear on the web site. Save
changes to submit your information securely.
4) Next, while still in Manage Profile, go into Preferences (you may skip this if you already
did it in the #2 instruction above). You will UNCHECK any boxes of My Preferences that
appear that you wish to NOT use on the site. If it is unclear as to what the feature is, UNCHECK
it for now. ONLY leave check marks next to features that you want to use in the system. Save
settings.
5) Next, click on Groups on the right hand side. Groups are chapters, or committees, RVW
board, etc. Everyone has to have a primary group. We have set that to be your primary group to
be your Primary Chapter. Our records show that your primary chapter is XXXXXXXXX.
• While in Groups, check your Primary Chapter to see if it is correct. If you belong to
multiple chapters, you can use the down arrow and select the correct Primary Chapter if
we have assigned you to the wrong one. If you do not belong to a chapter, we have
specified No Chapter as your primary chapter.
6) Sign out (upper right hand side on brown bar).
7) Sign back in with your new userID and password you created to test it.
If you have any problems or need additional help, go to MEMBERS- PROBLEM REPORT
on the left hand side to log your question or problem. We’ll try to get back to you as soon as
possible with a response.
Thank you so much for being a member of RVW and for your cooperation with this process to
update your information.
Sincerely,
Nancy Shoop
