LINKSCORE CONFIGURATION

The below are mandatory fields in Links that need to be populated by your team for the correct functioning of ActiveCarrot:
* ActiveCarrot Web Till

Decide on or create a new Till in Links where Online Transactions will be processed against. This allows ease of tracking and reporting for online sales.

* ActiveCarrot Staff Member

Decide on or create a new Staff Member in Links where Online Transactions will be processed against. This allows ease of tracking and reporting for online sales.

* ActiveCarrot Access Point

Decide on or create a new Access Point in Links for Session attendance records.

* Blacklist Emails

When customers are sent to Active Carrot for their profile to be setup it is important that dummy details do not get sent. This will avoid accounts having to be manually changed as your customers provide a real email address. Many sites have email collection as mandatory and therefore use a dummy email such as noemail@clubname.com. Please list below all the dummy email addresses that you currently have in your Links database. These will then be setup in your blacklist and anyone with that email address will not be setup for Active Carrot until they have supplied a real email address (real being defined as something@something.something and not on your blacklist).
