Overview
This guide will explain how to set up the Communication Preferences Tab on the My Account Page.
Configuration Guide
Language Strings
This release includes a feature that adds a new language string to the homepage. Previously, the words “My Account” were hard-coded and it was confusing to users who were trying to get to their My Account page. Now that text is configurable and a My Account button has been added to the menu that appears when the guest hovers over the account sign-intext. [WHAT IS THE LANGUAGE STRING NAME??]
Under language strings you have:
”account.navigation"
: This configures the “My Account” label - which is “My Account” by default.
The text under the Communication Preferences heading on the page is also configurable through a language string called account.communicationpreferences.description.
To update the language string, go to Configuration > Languages, and click Edit. Update the value to include your desired text and save.
Detailed Setup Guide
Go to Configuration > Customer Settings and scroll down to Additional Customer Settings.
The Hide ‘Communication Preferences’ tab checkbox is unchecked by default (meaning that the Communication Preferences Tab will display by default). Checking this box will keep the Communication Preferences Tab from being visible on the My Account page.
The URL to manage Communication Preferences field enables redirection to a third-party site if your resort utilizes a third party to manage guest communication preferences. If your resort utilizes a third-party for communication preferences management, enter the appropriate URL here. The URL will appear on the Communication Preferences Tab in My Account and the user can simply click on it to update their preferences.
Opt In enabled will show the Opt In checkbox on the My Account page, enabling uses to opt in/out of marketing emails. By default, it is unchecked and it will not appear on the My Account Page. Checking the checkbox will make it appear on the page. [WHERE DOES THIS ACTUALLY APPEAR?? COULDN’T SEE IT IN QA]
