When the Site Manager logs in to his/her account, the home page is the first thing that appears on the screen. As discussed in the previous topics, the home page contains the To Do Items. Part of this section is the list of items that are subject to the Site Manager’s review and activation like the one shown below:

Before an item appears in the directory front, it should undergo the activation process first. Clicking on any of the links shown above takes the Site Manager to the corresponding section from where he/she can perform the process.

Clicking 22 listings to review and activate takes you to the Listings module page shown below:

Observe that all listing items displayed in the page above have Pending status. Status indicates the current state of an item. It can be any of the following:

• Pending – the item is recently added, and is waiting for an activation or confirmation
• Active – the item is activated, and is already displayed in the directory front
• Suspended – the item’s visibility is put on hold due to some reasons
• Expired – the item’s term of subscription has ended, but could still be renewed (For an expired item to be renewed, the member should pay again)

If you go directly to the Listing Module (on the left navigation panel), you will see the complete list of listing items in the directory including those with Active, Suspended, and Expired status.

Items with Pending, Suspended and Expired status are not displayed in the directory front. They should match first the requirements below before they can be set to Active:

• The item should be paid (items in free levels are exempted)

One way to check if an item is paid or not is by looking at the icon before the item name. Unpaid items have icon, while those that have been successfully paid and are ready for review and activation have icon

• The item should not have any invalid and foul contents

Previewing an item is the suggested way to proofread the content.

To activate an item, do the following:

1. In the page displayed above, click on the status (Pending, Suspended or Expired) of the item that you want to activate. After doing this, a form will appear like the one shown below:

   

2. In the Renewal Date box, provide the date of expiration of the item. Do this by clicking on the icon or the auto fill renewal date link.
3. In the Status dropdown list, select Active.
4. If you want to send an e-mail notification to the Member who owns the item informing him/her that the item is already activated, check the Send activation notification e-mail option.
5. Click on the Submit button.
