The bottom half of the page displays the documents associated with the team, and allows admins to add new documents for the team, as shown below...



Adding a Committee/Team


From a HarmonySite perspective, a committee/team is simple to set up. You need to give the team a name, and manually select the team members from a list of members. You can also specify whether the committee/team is currently active, and whether the committee/team's documents are to be kept private (visible only to the committee/team members) or not (visible to all members).


A new Committee/team can be created from the Committees & Teams page. To do this, click on the Add new committee/team button (circled below)..



This displays the Committee/team Details page. To add a new committee/team, proceed as follows:

  1. The top section of the page is shown here..


    Enter a Name for your new Committee/Team.
  2. A committee/team can be active or inactive. "Active" means that they are listed on the Committees & Teams page.  By default, all new committee/teams are "active"
  3. Ticking the Documents are private? tickbox means that all documents displayed on the committee/team's page are visible only to members of that committee/team.  If the box is not ticked, then all documents on the committee/team's page are visible to any member who can log into your HarmonySite with Regular Member Access.
  4. Next, the Committee/team members for this committee/team are manually selected from a list of your members.


    Simply tick the boxes next to the names of any members who are to be a part of this committee/team.
  5. Next, the Leaders/Captains/Chairpersons for this team are selected.


    The names of any team leaders are ticked in the same way as described in step 4 (above). Note: Any person selected as a team leader must also be selected as a member of the committee/team in step 4.
  6. Click Save at the bottom of the page.


Updating and Deleting a Committee/Team


A committee/team can be updated or deleted from the committee/team's page. At the top of the page, under the name of the committee/team, are Update and Delete buttons (circled in the image below)...

Adding a Document for a Committee/Team


Navigate to the page of the Committee/Team that you want to add the document for, as described in the "Committee/Team's page" section above. The bottom half of this page is a list of the documents associated with this team, if any. To add a new document for this team, perform the following steps:

Otherwise, the Type of document field will appear as a drop-down, listing the types of document available, as shown below.


  4. The member the document is Posted by and the Date Posted are both required fields, and will likely be filled in automatically.

    To upload a document, click on the Choose File button (circled above), and select a file from your computer. Add Text to display for the document (this text will be used as the "filename" for the document on your site).
    To make the document a YouTube video, or to upload a YouTube video along with your document, simply copy the video URL into the YouTube Video URL field.

  6. Below this, there is a "For more information" field, allowing you to specify a URL to link to further information regarding the document, and a Description field, where anything additional required can be added to the document page.

Creating a mailing list for a Committee/Team


A mailing list for a team can be created from the Committee/Team's page, outlined above. At the top of the page, under the page title, we can see the Create mailing list link (circled in the image below)..

Note that you are inventing a new email address here (and inventing a password).  This will be the email address that people send emails to if they want their email to be distributed to all members of the committee/team.  For example, if the mailing list is for the "Website Team", then you could enter something like webteam into the email address field, which will create the email address webteam@yourgroup.com.
  5. Specify who can see the new mailing list...



  6. The number entered for Display Ranking specifies where this mailing list will appear in the list of mailing lists on the Mailing List page.
  7. Click Save at the bottom of the page.
