Position Categories

Position Categories are set system-wide. When an organization creates a position, they must select a position category. Certain Position Categories may be specified as selectable by Administrators only. Membership Rosters now group the list of members by their position category. Position Categories will soon be used to allow you to message all users holding a specific position category in a set of organizations.(for instance, to message all Advisors in Cultural organizations)

Example: Use position categories to differentiate Officers from Members

1) Under the Administration Tab, select Manage Categories (very bottom of navigation area)
2) Choose “Position” as the type to manage and click Continue
3) Verify that there is a category listed for “Student Organization Officer”
4) You may add categories using the Create Position Category function
5) Navigate to an Organization to manage positions for using the Organizations Tab or the Jump To function
6) Click Members & Positions from the Management Tools menu
7) Click See Organization Positions
8) Click the Edit icon next to a position to assign the category “Student Organization Officer”

9) Select the proper Category using the dropdown and click the Save button
10) Any user holding the position will now show as an Officer on the membership roster
