Basic Questions About SIB

Answers

Should I add an alumnus if I have their information?

If you have their e-mail addresses, simply write them a blanket e-mail to encourage them to register themselves. They can then choose for themselves. SIB has an Invite feature that you can also use to send someone you know a special invitiation to register on the site. Back to Top

How do I convert a Current Profile to an Alumni Profile or vice-versa?

From the Admin menu, change the Type to Currently Serving. Click the radio button for Expired Only and then click Search. A list of names is shown of those who have returned home. Click on the option to convert the profile to an alumnus record. The other option is to have the profile deleted and have the user submit a new registration. There is no way to convert an alumnus profile to a current record.Back to Top

When it comes to copyright, what should I be aware of?

Just a reminder to webmasters about copyrights -- There are quite a few postcard photos in the picture sections of some SIB sites. Commercially-printed postcards are almost always copyright, and cannot legally be posted on mission alumni pages without express consent from the copyright holder. Posting of unauthorized copyright materials can create problems for the the webmaster and submitter, LDSMN in general, and even potentially for the Church. Please don't approve scans of commercial postcard photos if your alumni upload them to the picture section, and those who have these in their alumni site picture section are advised to remove them.

Can alumni search for companions they served with in a particular area?
