Website Administration Tools

InfoServeCMS gives clients powerful tools that let you decide who sees what information and how they see it. From portal member management to easy online form generation to creating multiple targeted calendars, and much, much more, there are many ways to grow your school's website. Read on for details.

	Portal Member Management


	The brilliance of great Content Management System like InfoServeCMS is that it gives you smart ways to communicate with your various community members. Parents want grades and class schedules to be available in a password-protected area. Alumni want to connect with their former classmates through messages and online updates. Faculty want to interact directly with their students. Communications folks need to update news items and send out eNewsletters to a variety of constituencies. Through our portal management system, all of these communications can be targeted to specific community members so you are sharing the right message at the right time to the right audience. The system is flexible, letting you easily create different kinds of users and direct what they can read, edit, and post. It's access that's custom-designed for your school's needs.

	Forms Management


	Magic Hour's Forms Anywhere™ and Event Registration Management module lets schools simply create complex online forms with virtually any data type (text, radio buttons, checkboxes, etc.), including: Surveys Tests Polls Admission forms Event registration With the eCommerce option, your school can handle everything from registration and through payment processing. Administrators can manage the forms and eCommerce in our secure online admin area. You also can use the system to send bulk emails to registrants to remind them of the event and inform them of changes and you can easily export the registrant list to do mail merging, name tags, attendee lists, etc.

	Email Broadcasting System


	Communicating to your school community is a critical component of a web strategy. Magic Hour's Email Broadcasting System lets you create a variety of messages, including enewsletters for parents and alumni, messages from your school's administrative team, emergency notices. Admissions, Development, Athletics, and other areas of your school can benefit from regular communication with your constituencies. With our Email Broadcasting System, you can: Customize your email design for various audiences Add news articles, calendar items, or entire web pages to a message Manage multiple distribution lists Track sent messages Allow recipients to manage their subscriptions

	Event Management


	Make registration and reservations to your school's events easy through our online Event Management System that lets you create calendar items that integrate easily with online registration/payment forms. You can manage RSVPs for parent fundraisers, alumni reunions, special events for faculty/staff, etc. -- no matter how large or small a gathering, our Event Management System makes it easy to prepare for the best event ever. Benefits include: Easy RSVP submission and tracking Multi-ticket options Automated email receipts to registrants Data exports for creating labels, attendee lists, etc. Credit Card payments processed online

	Permission Management


	With Magic Hour's websites, you can tailor your website's content to specific groups or individuals through the Permissions Manager. The default website user, before logging in, is a Guest. Once users are logged in, they can see whatever information you want them to see -- and they can't see what they don't have "permission" to see. You can also allow or restrict editing access to content. For example, in one section, you can grant parents the right to view the section, students the right to view the section but not see the photo albums on it, and faculty the right to view and edit articles but not publish them. Site administrators can be granted to do everything. A great example is classroom pages for complex Guest rights. A teacher's folder could be viewable to guest and contain three items: article of class syllabus, slideshow of recent activities, and discussion forum for students to talk about assignments. With viewing rights set, you can make it so "Guest" visitors can see the syllabus, Parents can see the syllabus and album, and students can see all three. Another example: you can create various areas in the Student Life for several different student clubs. Select students from each club can be permitted to add content to their section but a faculty adviser/moderator has to approve all content before it is posted live to the site.
