For a few years, I’ve been thinking of putting together a single webpage that would allow admins to see the health of their site from one place. This dashboard would contain stats showing the vital aspects of any site and would give a quick glance at how things are going.
It’s now live and the dashboard provides an up-to-date glimpse into your site’s activity and data. Metrics are available on logins, registrations, updates, administrators, email blasts and more.
You can see all the profiles that have admin access. You can tell when other admins last logged in. You can see stats on your last email blasts.
The dashboard is accessible from both the homepage and the Admin page.
Alumni Channel is happy to announce that we are finishing a basic donation tracking capability.

In an effort to help clients get better use of their community we are announcing a new data import service that will drastically reduce the amount of time and effort to get new records (e.g. graduates) into our online communities each year.
We anticipate this service will be most useful for organizations that have recurring new members on an annual basis and might have had trouble in the past getting these members to sign up on their own. This service will now avoid any uncertainty regarding if, and how many, new members will register on their own.
Customers using the Upcoming Events feature will be pleased to notice they can now offer to their members an RSVP for each event. Simple to use, the RSVP feature allows members to indicate ‘Yes’, ‘No’ or ‘Maybe’ for an event. This information is then available to community administrators via a download report. We hope this feature will go a long way in keeping alumni engaged and online longer at each of our customer communities.
