5. Branch Manager Features

1 Manage Branch Pages and Content

The Branch Manager can manage the pages and content of the branch or subfamily assigned to them. They can maintain the branch profile and update information that represents the branch within the larger family website.

The Branch Manager can manage the branch's Home page, menus, and additional pages to present information that is important to the branch. These pages can be used to share the branch's history, traditions, background, memories, and other information the branch would like to preserve and share.

This allows each branch to maintain its own identity and present its story and information within the larger family website.

2 View Branch Managers

Famcling allows a Branch Manager to view the Family Admin and other Branch Managers associated with the family domain, along with their available contact details. This helps each Branch Manager know who is responsible for managing the different branches of the family.

Branch Managers can use this information to connect and communicate with the managers of other branches, share information, clarify family relationships, verify or correct details, and discuss information that may be known differently across branches.

This supports the collective and collaborative effort of building the Family Tree. By connecting the people who manage different branches, information from one branch can be compared and connected with information from another, helping the family gradually build a more complete and accurate picture of its history and relationships.

3 Family Tree Management

Famcling provides the Branch Manager with the ability to build, update, and maintain the Family Tree within their assigned branch. They can add family members and record the relationships that connect them across generations, helping their branch grow as more family information becomes available.

By selecting a member in the Family Tree, the Branch Manager can access the available options to add or update family relationships, such as parents, children, spouses, and siblings. Famcling intelligently displays the relevant relationship options based on the relationships already recorded for that member, helping maintain a consistent and accurate family structure.

Famcling also provides options to edit member information, move members, and correct relationships when changes or corrections are needed. These capabilities allow the Branch Manager to continuously update and maintain the Family Tree while their management access remains limited to their assigned branch.

Thus, the collective work of different Branch Managers brings their individual contributions together, helping build a larger and more complete Family Tree and allowing everyone to discover more of their family's ancestry and relationships.

4 Manage Member Profiles

The Branch Manager can create, update, and maintain Member Profiles within their assigned branch. They can add and update information about members they know, including basic details, About information, education and work experience, living timeline, life events, and other relevant information.

Since Branch Managers are generally familiar with the people in their own branch, they can help build more complete profiles by preserving information that may not be known elsewhere in the family. They can also maintain the family relationships and other profile information associated with members within their assigned branch.

The Branch Manager's profile management is limited to their assigned branch, while the Family Admin retains overall access and control. The visibility of member information should also be managed with consideration for the member's consent and privacy, ensuring that personal details are shared only as appropriate.

5 Manage Articles

Famcling allows the Branch Manager to create, manage, and maintain articles within their assigned branch or subfamily domain. They can create new articles, edit existing content, and manage the details associated with articles published for their branch.

Articles can cover a wide range of subjects, including family history, stories, experiences, people, places, memorable events, knowledge, opinions, and other topics that the branch members may wish to share. The Branch Manager can organize articles using appropriate categories, making the content easier to browse and discover.

The Branch Manager can also manage the visibility of articles within their assigned branch, choosing whether an article should be publicly available or restricted to the family. Their article management remains limited to their assigned branch, while the Family Admin retains overall access and control of the family's articles.

6 Manage News

Famcling allows the Branch Manager to create, manage, and maintain news within their assigned branch or subfamily domain. They can create new news items, edit existing ones, and update their content and associated information when required.

News can be used for branch announcements, activities, achievements, events, and other timely updates that the branch wishes to share. The Branch Manager can also manage the visibility of news, choosing whether it should be publicly available or restricted to family members.

The Branch Manager's news management remains limited to their assigned branch, while the Family Admin retains overall access and control of the family's news.

7 Manage Events

Famcling allows the Branch Manager to create, manage, and maintain events within their assigned branch or subfamily domain. They can create new events, select the appropriate event category and template, add the relevant event information, and edit existing events when changes are required.

Events can be used for birthdays, weddings, engagements, housewarmings, reunions, festivals, community activities, charity events, sports events, and other occasions that are meaningful to the branch. The Branch Manager can also manage the visibility of each event, choosing whether it should be publicly available or kept within the family.

The Branch Manager's event management remains limited to their assigned branch, while the Family Admin retains overall access and control of the family's events.
