Creating a Routing Page
=Overview=
A signup page (also known as a registration page) enables users and organizations to independently register and gain access to your system. It is common to have multiple signup pages depending on the types of people and organizations you want to register. In this article you will learn about the different types of signup pages, how to configure them and related functionality. '''Global Administrator''' access is required to create and modify signup pages.
A =Configuration - Essentials===Creating a Signup Page=====Signup Page Name===Give your signup page (also known as a registration page) enables users and organizations to independently register and gain access to your SmartSimple instance. It is common to have multiple signup pages depending on the types of people and organizations you want to register and the languages your community speaksname.
=Configuration ==The Associated Organization===Before you create a signup page, you will need to decide where the users and organizations you are creating will reside in your organization hierarchy. In other words, when you create a new user or organization via a signup page, where will they be created in your system? Typically, you would create an organization in the external organization hierarchy and call it something like "Web Registrants". Later you would associate that organization with your signup page. Then all new users and organizations created by this specific signup page will be created under that organization. If you are creating an organization to act structurally like a holding folder rather than a true organization, then you need to flag the "Web Registrants" pseudo- Essentialsorganization as such, by going to '''Menu Icon''' > '''Organizations''' > Edit an Organization > '''Actions''' > '''Edit Categories and Access''' > Toggle on '''Container'''. If you flag an organization as a container, any hierarchy access granted in the security matrix will not be applied for container organizations. You can set up an organization by going to '''Menu Icon''' > '''Organization Hierarchy''' > Click on the second tab which is the external hierarchy, and click the '''New''' button to create a new organization in the external organization hierarchy. ===Roles and Categories===: ''Main Articles: [[User Role]] & [[Client Categories]]'' Once you have an organization set up that you will associate with a signup page, next you will need to set up '''Roles''' (for users) and '''Categories''' (for organizations). '''[[User Role|Roles]]''' are a way of grouping like users together. We use roles to control what the user can see and do in the system. When you create a user via a signup page, you need to give the user one or more roles. Typically, you would give a user a role like "Applicant" or "Reviewer". Before you create your signup page, make sure you have created the roles you intend to give to the new users.You can setup user roles by going to '''Menu Icon''' > '''Global Settings''' > '''Users''' tab > '''Roles''' and click the '''New''' button.
You must have <u>'''Global AdministratorNote:''' setup </u> when you create roles you can indicate if a role is only for internal or modify signup pagesexternal users. This recommended if you have a role like "Applicant" that should only be giving to external users.
==Creating '''[[Client Categories|Categories]]''' are a user way of grouping like organizations together and are also used to control what can be seen and done. When you create an organization via a signup page, you need to give the organization one or more categories. Typically, you would give an organization the category of "Grant Seeking Organization" or "External Reviewers". Before you create your signup page==, make sure you have created the desired categories for your organization. You can setup organization categories by going to '''Menu''' icon > '''Global Settings''' > '''Organization''' tab > '''Categories''' and click the '''New''' button.
The user signup page creates people ===Statuses===: ''Main Article: [[Status]]''Lastly, set up a [[Status|status]] for users and organizations. Statuses are like a place in the systemtime. Users created via For example, you might use a signup page typically login "Newly Registered" status for new registrants, and later once these users are vetted, you might switch them to an “Active” Status and do something in later when you no longer engage with the systemuser you might move them to an “Inactive” status.Before you create your signup, such as applying for pages create desired statuses.You can set up a grant or reviewing user status by going to '''Menu Icon''' > '''Global Settings''' > '''User''' tab > '''Statuses''', and click the '''New''' button to create a grant applicationuser status.
Before you create ==Creating a User Signup Page==The user signup page, you will need to create an '''Associated Organization'''. An '''Associated Organization''' can be seen creates people in the organization hierarchy and acts as a holding organization you set this up the same way as any other organizationyour system. Any new users or organizations Users created will appear under the Associated Organization in the hierarchy. Typically, you will create an organization in the '''External Hierarchy''' and name it something like '''Web Registrants''', '''US Organizations''', '''International Organizations''', '''Non-profits''', etc. Once you have an associated organization setup, you will need via a role to assign to new users. '''Roles''' are a way of grouping like users together and we use roles to control what the user can see signup page typically login and do something in the your system. Lastly, you may want to setup a status such as applying for users. '''Statuses''' are like a place in time; for example, you might use or reviewing a “New Registrant” status for new registrants, and later once they have been vetted or approved, you switch them to an “Active” Statusgrant application.

Once translations have been entered and saved on the signup page, you can send your users directly to the signup page in the language you desire. Do so by adding <code>&tid=14</code> to the end of the signup page URL, where the number equals the desired language ID. In this case, the language ID 14 will bring the user to the signup page translated into Spanish.

You can use the '''Ajax''' verification option on signup pages to achieve this. You can also put a manual vetting process in place to approve applicants, if desired. Note selecting existing organizations from your instance reduces the chance of duplicate organization creation, and may be fine for research organizations, but may pose a problem in other verticals such as case management, where you may not want a list of organizations you deal with exposed full access to the publicsystem.

You can attach an existing workflow to a signup page using the '''Attach Workflow''' setting. You can create '''Workflows''' under the '''Menu Icon''' > '''Global Settings''' > '''System''' Tab Icon > '''Workflows'''. Workflows may be on signup pages are typically used to to notify someone that a new user has been registered and or some action is required, needs to be taken such as approving the user based on a vetting processan approval and/or to automatically run some tasks upon signup==How to setup an eligibility questionnaire==
==How to Set up an Eligibility Questionnaire==If there are criteria that would render an applicant ineligible to gain access to your system, you may want to setup an eligibility questionnaire that a user must fill in before you let the user register. This is typically done with a Universal Tacking Application (UTA). In the UTA, ask any questions that would cause an applicant to be ineligible. Example: If you don't fund religious organizations or organizations in a specific area, ask applicants these question before you allow them to register. If the applicant meets your desired criteria, you send them on to the desired signup page. If they fail your criteria, you send them to a page letting them know they are ineligible. Using this method saves the user time by letting them know up front if they are not going to be given access and it saves you time by reducing the number of users created in your system. Common eligibility questions include “Are you requesting monies on behalf of a religious organization?” or “Are you requesting monies on behalf of an organization that is located and operates inside the USA?”.
==Other vetting processesVetting Processes==Some organizations require users and organizations to be manually vetted or approved before the user gains access. This is typically done by using the User/Organization'''status''' in conjunction with workflows to notify the appropriate internal staff.
Some organizations also require regular OFAC checks to be conducted on the organizations they fund, to ensure they are not in violation of economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy, and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or the economy of the United States.
OFAC publishes a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups and entities, includes terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called Specially Designated Nationals or SDNs. Their assets are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them.
