programs that allow for different levels of functionality. Explanations
for the terms are below the chart:
Administrative Features
Create / Edit Profiles
In all versions of the program, the administrator has the ability to add
new users to the system. The administrator creates a user profile that
contains basic contact information about each user (name, address, e-mail,
etc.). In addition, the administrator adds to the profile the code of
the parent so that commissions can be properly tracked. After creating
a new user, the administrator can edit the contact information of the
user, but cannot change the parent (unless the Enterprise solution is
in place).
Back to Admin Features
Record / View Transactions
The administrator enters each transaction, selecting the product purchased,
the quantity, the price and the date of the transaction. The administrator
assigns each transaction to a user and commissions are automatically calculated
by the system, both for the user and for any other individuals in the
system who should be credited. The administrator can also enter any payments
made to a user and the system will adjust that user's balance accordingly.
Back to Admin Features
View User Summaries
The administrator can select a user and determine the amount due to that
user.
Back to Admin Features
Alert Notices / Reminders
This feature allows the administrator to automatically receive alert notices
and reminders when certain events occur. For example, most MLM operations
have rules for when checks are paid to their users - like "on the last
day of each month, pay all users who have a balance of $100 or more due."
The administrator is able to set such rules, and receive automatic notifications
- this saves much time as the user database gets larger since it eliminates
the need for manual review.
Back to Admin Features
Change Commissions / Discounts
This feature allows the administrator to change the discounts and commission
structure rules for people at various levels of the MLM tree at any time.
The administrator sets an "effective date" for each change, and for any
transaction occurring after that date, the system uses the new structure
for calculation.
Back to Admin Features
Restrict Communications
Users have the ability to use the Web site to contact the administrator
- for the Basic and Executive solutions, they also have the ability to
contact other users. The administrator can use the "Restrict Communication"
feature to only allow communication between certain users - for example,
a user might be allowed to communicate only with that user's parent and
children.
Back to Admin Features
Advanced Transaction Reporting Tools
This feature allows the administrator to do reporting along any dimension.
For example, the administrator can view a detailed transaction history
for a user, can view a summary of a user's down-line sales in certain
date ranges or can do reporting along particular product lines.
Back to Admin Features
Remove People From Tree
It is usually not possible for an administrator to eliminate a user from
the program so that the said user can no longer earn commissions. However,
the Remove People from Tree option allows this to be carried out
seamlessly. The administrator gets to choose whether the commissions assigned
to that user are eliminated or assigned to other users.
Back to Admin Features
Re-assign Parent
The Reassign Parent feature allows the administrator to change
the parent of an existing user. However, this normally cannot be done
if the user, or any of the children of the user, have any transactions
in the system.
Back to Admin Features
Advanced Change of Commissions / Discounts
This feature allows the administrator to create more complex rules for
commissions and discounts. An example of a complex rule is: "Discount
of 20% on first $100 ordered, discount of 40% thereafter, totaled on a
quarterly basis." In addition, the administrator is able to zoom in on
an individual user and manually override the system rules for that user
(for example, a particular user could be given a higher or lower commission
than normal).
Back to Admin Features
Graphical View of Tree
This optional feature is useful when managing large MLMs. The MLM tree
is presented graphically, making it easy to see relationships between
users. By pointing and clicking, the administrator is able to zoom in
on different parts of the tree and view detailed results. Color-coding
can be added by administrators to quickly highlight areas of the tree
with certain characteristics e.g. high-performing areas of the tree)
Back to Admin Features
User Features
Secure Login
Users login to the program via a unique username and password, assigned
by the administrator. A lost password feature emails passwords to users
who have forgotten their passwords. After logging in, each user is directed
to their personal page.
Back to User Features
View Current Account Balance
When users login, they are able to see total amount earned, amount paid
already, and the amount of money that is due to them.
Back to User Features
Communicate With Site Owner
An email contact form allows the user to contact the site administrator
for any questions.
Back to User Features
View Monthly Earnings Summary
With this feature, a user is able to see the amount of money earned and
paid each month.
Back to User Features
Communicate With Other Members
The user is presented with a list of other members in the MLM group and
is able to communicate with them via email, which can help build sales
by strategy sharing. If desired, the administrator can set rules to restrict
communications (see Restrict
Communications above).
Back to User Features
View Transaction Details
This feature allows a user to view each individual transaction in the
system that impacts that user's earnings - generally, all of his own transactions
and the transactions of certain users in his down-line.
Back to User Features
Advanced Transaction Reporting Tools
This is similar to Advanced Transaction Tools for the administrator,
except that a user is only able to do reporting for people in his down-line
that impact the user's earnings - the user cannot do reporting across
the whole tree. This gives users the ability to highlight certain aspects
of their business (e.g. "show all user's with more than $2,000 in volume
over the last month").
Back to User Features
Graphical View of Down-line
Similar to Graphical View of Tree for administrators, except that
a user is only able to view the tree for people in his down-line that
impact the user's earnings - the user cannot view the whole tree. Color-coding
can be added to quickly highlight and summarize high-performing and low-performing
areas of that user's down-line.
