Guideline for Updating On-Line Profiles

AATA members and assessed/registered animal attendants
are now listed in an on-line searchable database which is
AATA's way of helping the general public find you
and
for you to find other AATA members that can help you with your shipment!

You can now update your own information on-line.  Your on-line profile includes your contact details, your type of business, the species you handle and a brief description of the services you provide.  Searches for assistance in shipping animals will be based on the information you provide so please help us keep it updated.

To update your information:

1/ Click on "Need Help Shipping" on the left navigation bar or click on
http://mcweb01.memberclicks.com/mc/prelogin.do?hidOrgID=aata
which will bring you to the login screen
2/ Enter your temporary user name (UN) and password (PW).  If you do not have your UN and PW, enter your email address and it will be emailed to you.  Once you have entered the on-line directory, please change your UN and PW to something that is easy for you to remember!
  * Your email address must be one that is listed with AATA.  If you don't know what email address is listed with AATA, just email AATA and ask that your UN and PW be emailed to you.
  * If your company has one email address for several people, each person listed under your AATA membership will have a separate UN and PW which is tied to their specific contact information.  In this case, just email AATA and ask that your UN and PW be emailed to you.
3/ Once you have entered the searchable on-line directory, click on MY PROFILE to view your information.  Click on EDIT to change your information.  Please update all fields.  However, if you wish some of the information to be hidden from searches by the general public, just tick the appropriate boxes.  If you have any trouble modifying your information, just email the changes to AATA  or AATA's Publications Coordinator and we'll make the changes for you.

TIP:  In those boxes where you have multiple selections, hold down your CTRL key and click on the those items you wish to select until they are highlighted in blue.  Unless they are highlighted in blue, they are not selected and will not be included in your profile information.

And don't forget to click on SAVE at the very bottom of the page! 
4/ If you wish to add your logo to make your information stand out in the directory, it can easily be uploaded right on-line.  Not only will your logo be seen during on-line searches, but will also be included when hard copies of search results are printed.  It's great, inexpensive advertising!
  * There is a nominal cost of $150 per year to have your logo on-line.  If you are a corporate member, we will manually add your logo to the profiles for all members under your AATA membership - at no extra cost.
  * We are automatically notified when your logo is posted on-line.  Once we are notified, AATA's Admin Office will be in contact regarding payment.  Depending upon when your next renewal date is, in most cases the annual web logo fee will be pro-rated for the number of months left till your next renewal date.  Then the web logo can be renewed annually when you renew your membership dues.
  * Don't worry if the logo doesn't look just right after you have uploaded it.  Once we know it's been posted on-line, we'll review it to make sure it fits in the space available and resize it, if needed.  If we have questions, we'll be in touch. 
  * If you need assistance adding your web logo, just email it to AATA's Publications Coordinator and we'll add it for you!
5/ Once your information is updated, take a minute to get familiar with searching on-line.
  * The SIMPLE SEARCH will search on any word or words you enter.   
  * The ADVANCED SEARCH gives you may searching and sorting options.  Remember that the % symbol is a wild card.  If you are searching for a specific company and don't type in the exact, complete name of the company, your search may not find any results.  Play it safe . . . type in a short version of the company name and add % before and after the information you entered.
  * Tick the check box to TAG the records you wish to print and click on PRINT.  You will be able to print your selections in a "Business Card" format (which gives you complete contact details) or a "Profile" format (which includes the contact details, plus type of business, species and business description).  The print file is formatted as a PDF file.  Some browsers may require that you click on the REFRESH button to open the PDF file.
     

Again, if you have any problems with the on-line directory, just email your changes to AATA or AATA's Publications Coordinator and we'll be happy to update the information for you.  As with any new system, it takes a while to become familiar with how it works and to resolve problems.
