The Settings tab controls which residents can access the Find a Sitter directory, the text shown to residents on the module pages, and email alert behavior for new and updated listings. It is only visible to super-administrators (group level 90 or above).
Getting to Settings
- Navigate to Administer Site > Find a Sitter.
- Click the Settings tab.
The Settings page has two sub-tabs: General Settings and Notification Settings.
Configuring Settings
Access Type (required)
Controls which member types can view and use the resident-facing Find a Sitter directory. Select the minimum access level required. Members below this level will not see the module on the resident side of the site.
Intro
Optional introductory text shown to residents at the top of the Find a Sitter directory page. Use this field to provide guidance, community policies, or a welcoming message. This field supports the full rich-text editor.
Confirmation — New Listing (required)
The message shown to a resident after they successfully submit a new sitter listing through the resident form. Use this to set expectations (for example, "Your listing has been submitted and will appear in the directory shortly."). This field supports the full rich-text editor.
Confirmation — Updated Listing (required)
The message shown to a resident after they successfully update their existing sitter listing. This field supports the full rich-text editor.
Setting Up Email Alerts
The Find a Sitter module can send an email alert to an administrator address each time a resident adds a new listing or updates an existing one. This lets you review and moderate submissions promptly.
Click the Notification Settings sub-tab to configure alerts.
Email Alerts (required)
Set to On to enable alerts. Set to Off to disable them. When set to Off, all email settings below are hidden and no alerts are sent.
To Email (required when alerts are on)
The email address that receives alert notifications. You can enter multiple addresses separated by commas.
BCC Email
An optional email address to blind-copy on every alert. Leave blank if not needed.
Subject — New Listing (required when alerts are on)
The subject line for the alert email sent when a resident submits a new sitter listing.
Subject — Updated Listing (required when alerts are on)
The subject line for the alert email sent when a resident updates their existing listing.
Disabling Email Alerts
- Navigate to Administer Site > Find a Sitter > Settings > Notification Settings.
- Set Email Alerts to Off.
- Click Save.
Note: Alerts are triggered by resident-submitted actions on the resident-facing form. Listings added or edited directly through the admin interface do not trigger alert emails.
Saving Settings
After making changes on either sub-tab, click Save at the bottom of the page to apply them. Click Cancel to discard changes and return to the Sitter List.
