September 2015 – CMC enhancements for email subscriptions and image cropping deployed
Bellwether Technology, Inc. deployed additional enhancements to CMC features this weekend.
Online Image Cropping – Now when loading images in the Campaign Setup for the image slide show, or the campaign logo, the system provides a tool for cropping the image prior to storing it. The crop outline is configured to maintain the perfect aspect ratio (height + width) to fit within the image area designated. This means you can use any image you wish, and avoid the hassle and guesswork of trying to create a perfectly sized image yourself prior to loading into CMC. A real time saver!
Join Us! Email Subscription – Campaign supporters viewing the campaign’s public CMC website can now sign-up for email notifications without having to complete a long form. Just name and email address, and click submit… DONE! The subscribing users will appear in the campaign’s CMC admin site, on the Join Us! page. If a campaign has opted for the Email Blaster a la carte feature, these subscribers will be included in Email Blasts when a campaign selects “Constituents that joined the campaign” as the recipient group.
Other back-end improvements have been deployed as well to improve overall system performance. Just one more step in our quest to provide your campaign the best tools possible.
