Updating the membership records

If you need additional help contact Webmaster.

1. Log into the ABRF website and click on the "Member Tools" link.
   
2. Click on the "Administer the xxx Research Group or Committee" link.
   
3. Click on the "Membership" link to edit your group's members.
   
4. To change information about existing members, double click their name and make changes in the "Group Member Information Editor." Remember to click the "Update Member" button to save your changes.
   
5. To add a member to the group, enter the person's last name in the search box, then in the search results select the correct name, make any changes in the Information Editor section and remember to click the "Add Member" button.
   
6. Note the asterisk to the left of a name indicates they have administrative rights to edit the content.
7. Keep a history of your group's membership. Do this by entering a date in the inactive box to indicate when a member changed roles or stepped down. When a member changes roles, simply enter a date in the inactive date field then add that member back as you did in the step above and select the new role for that member. That member will then appear in the active members section with the new role and in the inactive member section with their previous role. This is how the membership history is maintained.
8. To appear in the search results or in the active members list the person must be an ABRF member in good standing.
