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.
