Layers

The 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 features

  • A 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 designations
    For 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 Settings
    One 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 visible
    You 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 branding
    You 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 administrator
    The 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 menu
    You 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 customised
    If 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 sites

You can manage sub sites by going to Sub sites in the Menu. 

Add Sub site

Here you can add a sub site by clicking 'Add'. Then enter:

  • sub site name*
  • Title of the Sub site*
  • Description*
  • Target amount
  • Subdomain* (you can set the url here)
  • Tags
  • Activities (if used)
  • Rewards
  • Contact 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). 

Featured

You 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.

Question iconFrequently asked questions

Can you delete a sub site?

You can! For this, however, you need to make sure that no fundraisers, teams, campaigns or donations are hanging under the sub site. You will have to remove or move these first. If they are no longer under it, you can delete the sub site by going to the overview of sub sites, clicking on the three dots behind the sub site you want to delete, and then choosing delete.

Additional questions in the Sign up flow, donation form and customised form

It is possible within the platform to request additional information. For example, requesting a shirt size, explicit parental consent, agreeing to the additional participant regulations, etc. But also, for example, requesting extra information when making a Donations to apply for tax certificates or a special opt-in to be called. 
There are three places where we can add additional questions for you. In the sign up flow, the donation form and in a customised form. You cannot add the extra questions yourself. Should you wish to do so, please contact us and we will add them.

Types of extra questions
Input fields

We have two types of input fields, a textarea and a textarea. The two are distinguished by the size of rows displayed. If you expect a short answer then you choose a textarea. In it you ask a question (which has a maximum of 40 characters) a the user fills in an answer: 

If you expect a longer answer you can work with a textarea: 
PlaceholderFor a text field or -area, you can specify a placeholder. This will then appear when the question is completed. This can be useful if you want to receive the information in a particular way, for example "enter the date dd-mm-yyyy here".

Validation typesYou can have a specific form of an  answer specified. For example, if you ask for a specific date or a bank account number. If information is then specified that does not meet those specific validation requirements, the answer will not be accepted. These are the validation types we have:

Numbers only
Only letters, dashes and dots
Numbers, letters, dashes and dots only
Valid e-mail address
Valid phone number
Valid IBAN number
Valid zip code
Valid date of birth (dd-mm-yyyy)
Valid date (dd-mm-yyyy)
Valid date in the future (dd-mm-yyyy)
Valid date in the past (dd-mm-yyyy) 

Multiple-choice options
We have three options for multiple-choice options, and with all three you may also optionally choose to display only one option. These are the dropdown, radio and checkbox:
Dropdown
At the dropdown you ask a question after which the user has to click on the answer option to expand it. There they can then select one of the choices.  
Radio
For radio, the first response option is selected by default. Users can then choose to select another option instead.

Checkbox
This allows you to tick one or more answer options yourself.

For all the questions above (except radio), you can indicate whether that question is mandatory or optional. 
Extra text
To introduce the questions, or give some extra information, we can insert titles and info text. A title has a slightly larger font than the infotext. 
 
Where can additional questions be added?
There are three places where we can add additional questions. In the sign up flow, on the donation form and in a customised form.
Sign up flow
The additional questions are asked in the sign up flow after creating the sponsor page (or team page/company page) and before the webshop/startup donation/overview page (depending on which steps there are in the sign up flow):

Donation form
The addition of additional questions to the donation form works the same and you will then see these below the personal data. The only difference is that no special personal data should be asked in this place.
 
Customised form
We can create a customised form. This is in the form of a Menu item and in it you can request information (separate from the sign-up and donation flow).
You enter an e-mail address and the completed forms are one on one forwarded to that e-mail address. These come in as separate emails and you cannot download an Excel file from this.
Optionally, you can set another destination url where the user, after filling in the form, is automatically redirected.
Below are some examples of applications of custom forms:
Customised form of the Giro di Muscoli for participants in the family stageHere they ask participants to fill in the names.  
Customised Night of Refugee form to order t-shirts separately
Customised form from the Metakids Foundation for a participant action.An action starter sells shells and these can be ordered using this form. This action starter receives the submitted emails and can match the orders to the payment reference.
On which levels can additional questions be set?"
Customised forms always appear as Menu items, but additional questions for the sign-up or donation flow can be set at different levels. Below you can see which ones:

Everywhere on the website
On the homepage only
On the homepage of a Sub site
On a specific Campaign

In addition, you can choose between whether the additional questions should be asked to a campaigner, a team captain or a company starter.
Where do I see the completed answers to the additional questions?
For the Donations form you will see these in your dashboard near the donation itself if you click on the 'eye'. In addition, you can find it in the Donations Excel file. An extra tab has been added there where the completed answers to the extra questions are listed.
In the Sign up flow, you can see the extra questions in the actions/participants when you click on the 'eye'. In addition, you can find them in the Fundraisers Excel file. There too, an extra tab has been added where the completed answers to the extra questions can be found. For Teams and Companies it works in the same way (click on eyelet, and in the export of Teams and Companies respectively)
In the case of a adjusted form, the completed results are emailed to the email address provided.
