Setup Client Opt-In / Opt-Out

Opt-In versus Opt-Out

Sites can be set up to either require clients to Opt-In or Opt-Out of marketing options.  Follow these steps to alter settings to the desired method.  The values set in the Client record for Preferred Marketing Methods are used in certain reporting and emailing functions.  If a marketing method is highlighted in the Client record, marketing is permitted.

Opt-In (recommended)
Laws and regulations may require Opt-In only. Consult your system administrator and/or legal consultant for advice.

  • Go to Settings/Security > Settings > Branch Profile. Edit the profile.
