Associates

This page describes the additional custom fields and tags for associate accounts.

Note this documentation only lists the data stored in Nationbuilder. The 123 Membership forms can ask additional questions that are only saved in the form response and not mapped to Nationbuilder.

Inside Nationbuilder, associates are stored as individual users (the group admin) with the associate information attached to the account as additional custom fields and tags.

Associate Accounts are similar to group accounts, with less additional data attached.

Note, this is a work in progess - some fields have not been finalised yet and are subject to change

#Private Fields and Tags

The following fields are not publicly visible:

Email

• email - Nationbuilder Field (Text)

This is the main email of the primary admin (account owner). This is also the sign in email and is is set when the user first creates an account. We do not collect this information in the 123 forms as it is the primary identifier for that account in Nationbuilder.

First Name

• first_name - Nationbuilder Field (Text)

This is the first name of the primary admin (account owner).

This is the last name of the primary admin (account owner).

This is the primary admins (private) phone number.

Mailing Address

Mailing address - Nationbuilder Field

This is the private mailing address of the associate. It is specifically stored in the mailing address (Nationbuilder can store multiple address types). Note that primary work address is reserved for the map location (see more below).

Public Fields and Tags (Associate Profile Pages)

These fields are public and shown on the Associate profile page.

Profile Type

• associate - Tag (single)

Associates are individual users with extra info. This tag is to easily distinguish associate accounts from individual users.

Optional text field for other interests. Note this field is used for both associates and individual accounts.

Associate Logo

TODO - not currently collected - This section will always be visible. The organisation logo is stored in the profile_image_url profile custom field. If this custom field is empty, but a native - Nationbuilder profile image has been set this image will be used (fallback for method). If neither the custom field nor the native field have been set - we will display a default logo instead.

Map Address

• TODO - not sure if needed? Work Address - Nationbuilder Field (Primary Address)

The primary work address is used to store the location of the associate on the map. It is important that this is the primary address.

Geographical area

• Tag (multiple):

• area--Perth Metro

• area--Peel Harvey

• area--South West

• area--South Coast

• area--Wheatbelt

• area--Northern Agricultural

• area--Rangelands

• area--Statewide

Associates might be operating in multiple areas so have made this a multichoice field.

Website

• website - Nationbuilder Field (Text)

This section will be visible when the organisation profile has a value stored in the website profile field. When a website url is present we have code to try to clean up the visible link - removing parts like "http://", "https://", and "www." - from the displayed link. These links will always open in a new window.

Facebook URL

• facebook_profile_url - Nationbuilder Field (Text)

Instagram

• twitter_login - Nationbuilder Field

The Instagram link is stored in the twitter_login slot. Nationbuilder has a built in slot to store a Twitter link. As this info is not being collected but Instagram is, to save on additional custom fields, we are repurposing the Twitter field. The Twitter field can be found in the social media tab in the control panal.

Declaration

• declaration_completed - Tag (Single)

This declaration checkbox is a required field on all membership forms.

Directory Tag

• TODO - not finalised yet - directory:assocates - Tag (Single)

Currently an admin must manually tag the group for them to appear in the directory (assumed this will be done when the group has paid their membership etc).
