In this article, the following items:LayersCharacteristics Sub sitesManage Sub sitesAdd Sub sitesFeaturedLayersThe platform can consist of several layers. For a simple event where there are only Fundraisers and Teams, you only need ééone layer and everyone registers in the same place. However, you may also be working with Campaigns, for example with a crowdfunding platform, where you raise money for multiple causes. You might not be able to get by with just Campaigns and need an extra layer. Then you can use the Sub sites layer, which is a layer above the Campaigns layer. The platform could then look like this, for example: In the example above, you can see the website consists of a homepage, under which three Sub sites hang. Three sub sites and Campaigns and Teams hang below each Sub site. However, this does not have to be the case. You can also have Sub sites without Campaigns, or where you can start Campaigns directly at Sub site level. You can also choose to only donate on a Sub site, depending on how you want this to be configured. Sub site featuresA Sub site always has its own subdomain The url of this is built as subsitename.urlsite.co.uk. You can set the url (the piece before .urlsite.nl) for each Sub site. You do this while creating a new sub site, or by managing an existing one and going to Content >Description. A sub site can have its own designationsFor example, a campaign may be called 'campaign' on one sub site, while it is called 'event' or 'initiative' on another. Contact iRaiser to adjust these (provided the naming is available).A sub site may have different SettingsOne sub site may allow Fundraisers and Teams and another may not. And you can also choose not to allow visitors to create their own Campaigns at a certain Sub site.Sub sites are always visibleYou cannot set them to invisible. However, you can choose to highlight certain Sub sites on the homepage and not others. If you no longer use a sub site, you can delete it if there are no more Fundraisers, Teams, Campaigns and Donations.A sub site can have its own brandingYou can set your own logo per Sub site, as well as adjust the spot colours via Settings > Design. You can also set separate button colours and fonts via the front-end design editor. And Sub sites can have their own banners.A sub site can have its own administratorThe administrator can add new Campaigns and manage existing ones. See here an Overview of sub site administrator rights. You add a sub site administrator by managing the sub site and then going to Managers and adding a new administrator.A Sub site can have its own menuYou can choose to keep the same menu as the one on the website's homepage. But you can also choose to create your own menu under the Sub site. You will then start with an empty menu.The home button of a sub site can be customisedIf Sub sites are really seen as standalone sites then the general homepage is not relevant to go to. In that case, we can set that the home button and logo do not go to the general homepage of the website, but lead to the homepage of the Sub site.Manage sub sitesYou can manage sub sites by going to Sub sites in the Menu. Add Sub siteHere you can add a sub site by clicking 'Add'. Then enter:sub site name*Title of the Sub site*Description*Target amountSubdomain* (you can set the url here)TagsActivities (if used)RewardsContact person*After saving, the Sub site is published immediately. It appears in the Overview with Sub sites and can be managed by going to sub sties by clicking on the pencil icon. Via the breadcrumb at the top, you can see that you are working at sub site level:All changes you make then apply at the sub site level. If you modify mails here, for example, they will also be automatically adopted as such at underlying Campaigns (unless they are set differently at that level). FeaturedYou can spotlight Sub sites and it works the same way you can spotlight other items. From the Overview of Sub sites, you click on the three dots > highlight and then you can highlight them. Fundraisers, Campaigns and Campaigns can also be highlighted on a sub site page. You do this by managing the sub site, going to Fundraisers and clicking on spotlight. Then it will be highlighted at sub site level only.

Settings ⟶ Default fundraising page settingsCreativity is not given to everyone. And not everyone has the patience to come up with their own texts or upload their own photo in the submission flow either. Give the user a hand by already filling in a title, description or photo! Participants who just want to join in don't have to face unnecessary barriers, which improves conversion. But participants who want to actively manage their own fundraiser can still fill in their own picture, title and description. Changing default fundraiser settingsChange fundraiser pictureClick on Upload fundraiser photoSelect the location of the photoIf an activist has not uploaded a photo then this photo will be shown by defaultChange default fundraiser titleEnter the fundraiser title you want to usePress saveThis title appears prefilled in the login flow and can still be modified by the user.Change default fundraiser descriptionEnter the description you want to usePress saveThis description appears prefilled in the login flow and can still be modified by the user.Settings ⟶ Default team settingsChanging default team settingsTexts can also already be entered before creating a team. The default team settings involve the default team title and description. All of this is to speed through the sign-up flow, and the user can then choose to keep this text or give it their own interpretation.We have now made this option available for teams too! You can enter a default team title and description.Change default team titleEnter the team title you want to usePress saveThis title appears prefilled in the login flow and can still be modified by the user.Change default team descriptionEnter the description you want to usePress saveThis description appears prefilled in the login flow and can still be modified by the user.Cap on number of team membersIf you have an event where you have a maximum number of team members, you can set this via Settings > Default fundraising page settings. All teams that are then created may have a maximum of that set number of members.You can set a maximum via Team members limit via Settings > Default team settingsIf you choose "Yes, I want to specify a limit for teams under this page." then you can set the maximum number of team members there. The fundraiser who is himself a team captain also counts as an fundraiser.After activation, any limits set by the team captain will be overwritten. However, if you reset it at a later time, the previously set limit will also be reset.Existing teams that already have more members than your set maximum will remain intact. Suppose you have a team of 6 people, and you set a maximum of 4 people per team over the entire campaign, then that team will keep those six people. Therefore, make sure that you have set it up properly beforehand. This can be done by a site administrator, sub site administrator, and campaign administrator.The option 'allow team members' disappears the moment you set a maximum number of team members over a certain level. A team captain can therefore no longer set the maximum himselfYou can set the cap at site level, sub site level and campaign level and there is no inheritance in it (so it is only for that level).Can't figure it out? please contact us!

If you want to close a project you can do so by managing the project and going to Settings > Close Campaign. After closing the project, all underlying Campaigns and Teams are also automatically closed. It is then also no longer possible to donate to the project or an action/team under that project. If you close a Campaign then two emails can be sent out if they are on. They are:Emails > Email overview > Fundraisers > Campaign has been closed by project administrator *Emails > Email overview > Team captains > Campaign has been closed by project administrator *Make sure you turn these off, or make sure the content is correct. Otherwise, a bulk email will go out to all action starters/team captains on closure.After closing the project, the Settings > Campaign status option has been added. By default, the amount raised is shown in the general counter status. You can also choose not to show the amount in the counter status in Campaigns status. After calculating the new counter status, the collected amount of that project is subtracted. You can recognise a project whose amount is no longer included in the total counter status by the triangle in the Overview of Campaigns.

With the activities module, a (mandatory) choice question can be added in the registration flow. For example, a list of distances or registration options from which the fundraiser must choose, or the question of what kind of fundraiser it concerns. Content:Add activitiesSelecting and using activitiesShowing/not showing selected activity1. Add activitiesSettings ⟶ Activity listBefore you start, you will first need to add activities to the overall list of activities. Think of this as a kind of library where all activities are listed and you can choose which of them you want to use per site, sub site or campaign.2. Selecting and using activitiesAt site level, per sub site and per campaign, you can configure activities for use. This configuration consists of 2 parts: selecting activities and using activities.2.1 Selecting activitiesSettings ⟶ ActivitiesThe first part consists of choosing the activities from which the fundraiser can choose. At site level, this allows you to choose from the full list of activities. At sub site and campaign level, a thinned list may be visible, depending on the configuration below. A maximum number of participants can also be specified for each selected activity.2.2 Using activitiesSettings ⟶ ActivitiesUnder the Use activities heading, you determine how the activities are deployed. First, you determine how the activities should behave on This page. Then you determine it for Underlying levels.Example: at the site level, one can start a general fundraiser and no activity needs to be selected, then on This page"No, there is no need to select.... " is selected. If on underlying campaigns one does need to select an activity, one of the "Yes" options is selected at Underlying levels. Both Yes options determine that an activity must be chosen on these underlying campaigns and can still be chosen which set of activities is shown to the fundraiser.Here you determine whether fundraisers below the current level should choose an activity.You can choose to tick that Fundraisers can edit their activity themselves. They can then modify it under my registration. This is only possible if there is space available at the new activity. The moment the activity is modified, the old activity is released again.You then choose here what fundraisers get to see on the underlying levels (sub sites and/or campaigns).Example scenario - You include the Dam tot Damloop event in the website and people can register for this at 2 distances: the half and full marathon. You include these 2 distances as activities in the Activities list (at website level). Then manage the Dam tot Damloop, go to Settings > Activities and tick the 2 distances. You indicate that all fundraisers directly below this page must choose an activity. You indicate that fundraisers may change their activity themselves. Two weeks before the event, turn off the option that people may change their activity themselves.3. Showing/not showing selected activityThe selected activity is displayed in several places. You can choose whether this is desirable or not. These are the following places:On the team page / in the registration flowOnce a team captain has chosen an activity himself, it is displayed on the team page. It is also displayed in the sign-up flow once an fundraiser wants to join the team. At the step to choose the activity, it is displayed which activity was chosen by the team captain to make the choice easier.This option can be turned off when setting up activities, via Settings > Activities.On the fundraiser pageIndividual fundraisers also automatically show on their fundraising page which activity they have chosen. Is this not entirely applicable? Let a iRaiser staff member know and we will make this choice invisible across the entire website on the fundraising page.  

In this article, the following items:LayersCampaign featuresManagement of campaignsAdd campaignLights outCopying campaignsWhat is all being copied?LayersThe platform can consist of several layers. For a simple event where there are only actions and teams, you only need one layer and everyone signs up in the same place. However, you may also be working with campaigns, for example at a crowdfunding platform, where you raise money for multiple causes.In that case, people will only be able to donate to such a campaign, but you also have website where you can also start actions. For example, if you have multiple events, or variants such as an event for adults and one for children. In such a case, you can work with multiple campaigns and the advantage of this is that each campaign can have its own settings. You can then also tailor the emails to the target group.Campaign featuresA campaign always has its own subdomainThe url of this is constructed as <siteurl>/project/<campaignurl> or <subsiteurl>.<siteurl>/project/<campaignurl>. You can set the >campaignurl> per campaign. You do this by managing an existing campaign and going to Content > Description and then adjusting the web address.A campaign can have different settingsIn one campaign, you can allow action starting and not in another, and you can also choose, for example, whether people can create teams and change the mails. So there are several things you can set for each campaign.You can close campaigns, set them to invisible or delete themIf you want to close a campaign, you can do so easily. All underlying actions and teams are then also immediately closed. You can remove closed campaigns from the counter via Settings > Campaign status (this setting is only visible when a campaign is closed).You can also set campaigns to invisible, after which they are no longer visible at the frontend of the site. If you no longer use a campaign, you can delete it if there are no actions, teams or donations under it.A campaign can have its own bannerYou can set a banner for a campaign. However, a campaign does inherit the spot colour of a parent segment or website level.A campaign can have its own administratorThe administrator can modify various texts and settings. See an overview of the rights of the campaign administrator here. You add a campaign administrator by managing the campaign and then going to Administrators and adding a new administrator.Management of campaignsYou can manage campaigns by going to Campaigns in the menu.Add campaignHere you can add a campaign by clicking 'Add'. Then enter:Campaign title*Description*TagsCountdownActivities* (if used here)RewardsContact*After saving, the campaign is unpublished. You can then configure the campaign at your leisure before putting it live. If you click on the eye at the top, you can already see what the campaign will look like. If everything is correct, you can then put the campaign live. You can do this by managing the unpublished campaign and then clicking 'Publish' on the notification at the top. You can also do this by going to the overview of all campaigns, clicking on the 'Unpublished' tab and then clicking on the three dots behind the campaign you want to publish and then clicking on 'Publish'.After publishing, the campaign appears in the overview of campaigns and you can manage it by going to campaigns by clicking on the pencil icon. Through the breadcrumb at the top, you can see that you are working at campaign level:All changes you make then apply at campaign level, i.e. only to this campaign.After creating a campaign, you can once again set the following things specifically for a campaign:You can change the url of a campaign via Content > Description > Web addressYou can give a campaign its own banner via Content > BannersYou can create your own menu for a campaign. It does not appear at the top of the homepage (that is where the fixed menu is), but on the campaign page as an extra tab. You create it via Content > MenuA campaign can have its own image. This image (or film) is then displayed in the overview pages and has a fixed ratio of 745x419. If you have uploaded an image, you can then crop it to that ratio. You do this via Content > Media

You can do so with the webshop function within the platform. This feature makes it possible to offer products and even services to anyone who creates an action on the website. The webshop is not on by default on the website, it can be turned on by a support person on the website. To do this, contact iRaiser. After this, the products must be added to the catalogue. Once the products are put in the catalogue, the action starter can see this right away and order directly in the action start flow!But what if these products only apply to a specific Sub site or Campaigns? No problem! In fact, it is possible to set up a catalogue at segment or project level. This catalogue will then only be visible to the campaigners at this level. Conversely, it is also possible to set up a catalogue on the main level, after which you disable it on a lower Sub site or Campaigns.Webshop items addAdministration ⟶ Webshop catalogClick Yes, there is a webshop catalogue to add webshop itemsClick Product addFill in a title (mandatory)Fill in an amount (mandatory)Evt: upload an image of the productEvt. add multiple variants (e.g. S, M, L, XL, XXL)Click SavePlease note: Unticking Yes, there is a Webshop catalogue disables the webshop but does not remove the products. View webshop ordersAdministration ⟶ Webshop ordersThis page shows an Overview of all Webshop ordersClick on the blue eye icon to see details of an order

The following changes went live on 20 October 2022 (iRaiser Premium and iRaiser Forms) and on 18 October 2022 (Digicollect): (Update: some more changes went live on 20 June 2023.

General terms and conditions and privacy.According to the Consumer & Market Authority, general terms and conditions are valid if the consumer knows they apply at the time he or she purchases the service from you. So you must make the general terms and conditions available and clickable in the sign-up and donation flow. - SourceWhen creating an action én when making a donation, Users no longer have to agree to the terms and conditions. You automatically agree to these when making the Donations or when continuing in the flow:As you now also automatically agree to the privacy statement, we have added this to the api as well. This will be automatically saved as consent for newly created Fundraisers after 20 October. For old action starters/donors, this data is not saved retroactively.2. Opt-ins have become soft opt-insNormally, a consumer must give an active opt-in at the time he or she wants to receive a newsletter or to be contacted by phone. The exception to this rule is the concept of 'customer relationship'. Since 1 July 2021, the concept of 'customer relationship' has been broadened for charities. Besides a financialële transaction, a volunteer and event participant is also counted under a customer relationship. In other words, someone who takes action on your behalf may be seen as a customer relationship. For a donor, this was already the case as they completed a financialële transaction. - SourceWe replaced several opt-ins with soft opt-ins for the above reason. Whereas previously you had to tick yourself that you want to be kept informed of News updates, for example, this tick is now already on by default. This also applies to the two different tick boxes aimed at telephone solicitation. Here it is good to know that you, the customer, can change these consent texts yourself in the dashboard. We have turned on the checkmark by default in these places:To keep informedThis is what you will see after making a Donations:b. When entering your phone number in the Sign up flow or DonateWe can turn on the second tick about marketing purposes at your request.c. Newsletter (when donating)3. Indicating whether data may be sharedContact information was shared (at the time it was entered by the donor) with the action starter. As this is not always desirable, we chose to add an additional soft opt-in when making a donation to an action, team, company on Campaign:You, as a donor, can choose not to share details with the initiator of the action. This can be:The action initiatorThe team captainThe company managerThe project managerIf you uncheck this box (which is on by default) then that data is not shared with the action starter. Who will see it returned as Anonymous:In the Excel file, an additional column has been added, at the very end, with 'Share contact information': You as site administrators can still view this data.4. Update 20 June 2023: Adjustment in show first name donorSince 20 June 2023, a change has gone live that relates to the following scenario:- You make a Donation and, when Donating, choose not to share your details with the initiator.Previously, the name on the front end was then always shown as anonymous. With the logic that it's strange not to share your details with the initiator of the action, but that they could then still see at the front end who had donated.We noticed, however, that it raised a lot of questions and confusion among donors. Especially because they were under the impression that showing the name was only linked to the checkbox  "Display my name on the website. "We have now made that showing of name dependent only on the option "Shield my name on the website." If that tick is not turned on, you will see the donor's name on the website.To clarify, we have now changed the text on sharing with the initiator to: "Sharing my contact information with the initiator of this action, so they may send me a thank you, for example."We hope this makes it a lot clearer for the donor. This is a change that took effect from 20 June. Older Donations have not been made visible retroactively. In case you had an old donation where it was indicated that the data should not be shared with the initiator, the check mark at name blocking has now been switched on for each old donation. If you have a donor who wanted this to be shown, you can now change this in the system by looking up the donation and setting the checkmark to 'do not hide'.DigicollectIn the academy of 6-10, the changes were discussed:Digicollect Academy 06-10-202202:45 - Poules 23:45 - Recent updates 30:00 - GDPR changes 35:04 - Digicollect action month 1.

So you should make the general terms and conditions available and clickable in the sign-up and donation flow. - SourceWhen creating a collection box én when making a donation, Users no longer have to agree to the terms and conditions. You automatically agree to these when making the donation or when continuing in the flow:2.

Indicate whether data may be sharedContact information was shared (at the time it was filled in by the donor) with the collector. As this is not always desirable, we chose to add an additional soft opt-in when making a Donations: 'My contact information may be shared with the collector.' :If you uncheck this box (which is on by default) then that data is not shared with the collector. It will see them as Anonymous in the automatic Emails:In the Donations overview that a collector can see, the donation can also be seen as anonymous: You as site administrators can still view this data.

When registering a participant/fundraiser, it is possible to charge a registration fee, so registering for the event and creating the personal fundraising page is one integrated process. The registration fee must always be paid when creating an fundraiser, regardless of whether you sign up as a member of a team or as an individual participant. Registration fees can be added at multiple levels and 'inherit down'. When registration fees are added at the website level, any sub sites and campaigns receive this same registration fee. It is then possible to override the registration fee if there is a different value at the relevant level. It is possible to add multiple registration fee options (with different amounts).Participants can decide how they want to be registered. This can be useful, for example, for:Different distances with different starting rates;Age groups where children pay a reduced rate;In addition to the regular registration rate, offer a 2nd rate where a T-shirt of the event is offered.Content:Add registration feeChange registration feeView chosen registration feeAdd registration feeSettings ⟶ registration feeThe Add registration fee button allows you to add the option(s), asking for a title and amount. Next to this, it asks whether the paid registration fee should be included in the counter position on the website. Usually, the registration fee is meant to cover expenses and is not included (as donation money) in the counter position, but this can of course vary.Change registration feeSettings ⟶ Registration feeBy clicking the Edit button, it is possible to edit the title and amount of the option. This can be useful when offering an early bird option, where the amount is increased over time.View chosen registration fee- The campaigner himself and the site administrator can see what registration fee the campaigner has paid by managing the campaign under My Entry. In addition, the registration fee choice can be viewed in the participants' exports.- On the fundraising page, the chosen registration fee is always displayed. This is a fixed element of the page and cannot be hidden. - Registration fees are reflected in the Excel export of all fundraisers and donations.

Action starters can get badges in the iRaiser platform to reward them and give them extra motivation. There are two types of badges:Achievements badges. These are badges that one can earn by actively recruiting. These badges ("medals") are greyed out on the Fundraising page and are coloured in when the respective goal is achieved.Retention badges. This badge is linked to the number of participations. This badge ("ribbon") appears on the participant's action picture and shows how many times someone has already participated in the event.Badges for achieved goals (Achievements badges)These badges are aimed at motivating action starters to get started with their Fundraising page and reach various goals.For example, someone gets a badge for the first Donations and for posting a blog post. There are also badges for the amount of money raised (250, 500 and 1000 euros) and badges for the number of supporters (10, 25 and 50 donations).When this functionality is on, the following badges automatically appear on each Fundraising page:These badges are greyed out when not yet achieved and coloured in when achieved. The green colour you see above in the badge is the spot colour set on the site. This way, the badges are nicely integrated into your style.Badges are automatically coloured when the condition is achieved. When the functionality is turned on, all badges of existing action starters are also awarded retroactively. There are no emails associated with the badges. Although you could copyëren the email "More raised than set amount". You can then indicate in the mail when they reach 250, 500 and 1000 euros that they have earned a badge. Hooray!The badges have a fixed layout and also fixed conditions, and you can only choose to put all eight of them on them. You cannot make your own adjustments to this at the moment. We do want to make this adjustable in due course.Interested? Then send a message to iRaiser and we can turn it on for you!.Badges for number of participations (retention badges)You have the option of displaying a badge (image) on participants' fundraising page depending on the number of times they have participated.These Badges are part of the retention functionality, which consists of:The edition of your event -> This feature must be enabled to use the badges and retention functionality.A conditional welcome email based on number of participationsAble to set target amounts for action starters based on number of participationsThe aim is to make participants feel welcome and encourage them to participate more often. For a complete description, read the article on retention functionality.You can upload an image per participation. We have created four designs for you, see the downloads below. But you can also choose to design your own badges. This image has specific requirements: it must be a png image with transparency, the image must be 745x419 Pixels in size. So a landscape image. The badge is being placed over the existing image, so make sure the badge is not too large and is in one of the corners.You can only add retention badges if an edition is set. Please contact us for this.Download below your set of badges for returning participants.
