New Member Quick Start Guide

Welcome to Rotary! We hope you will maximize your membership by taking advantage of our online member portal, DACdb. This is more than an online directory - it is an interactive tool to help you engage with your Club.

Through DACdb, you can edit your profile, search for members, register for events, and much more!

Your account in DACdb is automatically created when you join our Club. You won't need to "sign-up" for DACdb! But there you will need to set a password for your account.

1. To log in for the first time, your preferred email address is your username and you will need to set a new password.

HOW-TO: Change your User Name or Password

When you join Rotary, your preferred email address becomes your default user name. However, if you change email addresses, your user name will not change unless you allow DACdb to change it as you save your new email address.

These settings can be updated at your convenience.

1. Click the "My DATA" tab, followed by "Edit Member".
   
   
2. Click the "Login" tab.
   
   
3. Edit the user name (does not have to be an email address) and password to your desired information and click the "Update" button at the upper right of the window to save your changes.

Tip: This login is for our club database, DACdb, only.

This is not your login for Rotary International. To create an online account with Rotary International, visit www.rotary.org.

Update your Membership Data

When you log into DACdb, you'll see the home screen, with District announcements, and a tab menu across the top.

1. Click the "My DATA" tab to view your profile.
   
   
2. To change or update your data, click "Edit My Data" located in the blue menu at the top of the screen.
   
   
3. Information tabs will appear below your name. Click into the tab you wish you edit.
   
   
4. Some fields are ready to edit, such as phone number: just click into the field and type. Some fields have a pencil edit button: click the pencil edit button and a popup screen will appear. Modify the information, and click "Save".
   
   
5. Some profile widgets have an "Add a field" option. For example: To add an address, click the red "+" symbol at the top right of the widget. Fill out the form that pops up and Save.
   
   
6. When finished bringing your membership data current, click the  "Save" button at the upper right of the window to save your changes. You only need to click "Save" once to save edits made throughout your profile tabs.
   
   

Tip: Keeping your information current is key to our success as a club!

   Scroll to the bottom of the event and click on the "Register NOW" button.

5. For some events you may be presented with the ability to register someone else.
6. Once you're ready to check out, click on "Continue"
   
   
7. For most events, you will be presented one or more questions to answer. Some may have costs associated with them.
8. Respond to the questions  and click on the "Proceed to Confirmation" button.
   
   
9. Review your answers to the questions and if they're correct, click on "Confirm Selections"
   
   
10. After clicking "Confirm Selections", you will receive the "Confirmation" screen, which includes both the event description and your selections. In addition, most clubs and district enable an email confirming your answers to also be sent to your preferred email address. The email contains a link back to your registration, should you need to modify your registration or complete payment.

Tip: It's a good idea to print this page for your records!

DACdb Mobile Website

The DACdb mobile website has been specially designed to run on a smartphone (iPhone, Androids, Blackberry, etc.). While it will run on a normal web browser on your iPad/tablet or PC, the experience has been tailored for smartphones. The DACdb Mobile website is not a clone of, or a replacement for, the main DACdb website. It is a compliment to the main site - allowing users to quickly get information from the database when they are away from their computers.

Most of the functionality is read-only - if you want to edit your member record, register for events or send PMails, you still need to use the main DACdb website.

DaCdb Mobile can be reached at the URL: http://m.dacdb.com or installed from the Apple app store or Google Play Store. Search for dacdb.com in either store.
