Detailed Help

All DCAL members and guests are given a login account on the website with a default password that has an expiration date. Your login will be your first name and last name all in lower case separated by a period (no spaces). The member/guest records have a first name (which is the legal record on your drivers license) and a nickname, the name you like to be called. The full name and the login both use the nickname, so if your legal name is Deborah Jones but your nickname is Debbie then your full name will be listed as Debbie Jones and your login will be debbie.jones. You can login using your account login (not your email) and your password. If you don't remember your password or if it has expired, if the system has your email address, you can change your password. In all cases, to login you will need to enter your login name, your password, and the random numbers visible in the image on the login page and click on either the Login or Authenticate button. At the bottom of the login page you will see the links for resetting or changing your password.

Once you have logged in, you will see a summary What do you want to do now box with shortcuts fo the common things you may need to do. You will see many functional option links in the top purple navigation banner at the top of each page possibly including:

Add User	Where you can add a guest to the website. (Please use the Who lookup utility first to confirm they are not already present.)
Attendance	Where you sign up for a table and entree for a dance event. This section also shows who is coming to a dance event.
Event Calendar	List dates, brochures, photos for dance events.
FAQ	Frequently asked questions and status updates.
Feedback	Form for getting help, asking questions of the board.
Food Choices	Managing entree selection for future dinner dances.
Members	Roster of our community.
My Info	Updating your contact information for the directory.
My Preferences	Update your wishes about being on mailing list, receiving newsletters, sharing contact info.
Who	Look up information about community members, dance instructors, and staff.
Roles	Who is doing what in service to the club, including the board of directors.
Surveys	Current and past surveys.
Table Reservations	After registering for a dance, you can see who is sitting where and change your table seating.
Tickets	Managing your event tickets.

Each of the links takes you to a page where you can query and list information about the club and our events, and sometimes update information about you. Remember that this is all to make being a member of the club more fun and to enhance getting to know, enjoy, and ease the things we like to do most: get together, socialize, and dance. If anything is confusing or overwhelming, click on the Feedback form and Jerry Bowes, our Webmaster, will get back to you to help.
