MyAccount

Site visitors can create accounts on your Jadu website by registering. The registration process is where information about the site visitor is gathered and stored for later reuse.

Once an account has been created, signed in users can:

• Submit data to visitor managed directories
• Sign up for API key access
• Where available, form fields will be prefilled with their stored data
• Query their submitted form data and track their submission's progress

Setting registration preferences

You must decide what basic information to ask from a site visitor, for example name, address or telephone number and also a possible two targeted questions.

The targeted questions allow you to segment your site visitors based on their expressed preferences in other Jadu Central functionality.

Choosing the right questions to ask your customers will benefit your organization. Not alarming or ‘turning-away’ your potential online customer requires serious consideration.

To set your registration preferences, try the following:

1. Click the Marketing icon in the left navigation bar. The Marketing menu will open.
2. Click the Register preferences link in the second group of links. The Register preferences form will now be shown.
3. Set your preferred registration profile values, and click the Save button to save your changes.

tip

Questions that the site visitor considers intrusive will lead to them abandoning the process.

Consider what a site visitor gains by registration, the bigger the benefits, the more data they will be happy to consider sharing with you.

note

Use of site visitor data is covered by GDPR for European Union citizens, and similar legislation in other territories. Jadu Central is proud to comply with GDPR requirements.
