  3. Welcome We thank you again for purchasing an Emerald® web site. We are sure that you will find it easy to enter and format text, insert images, and create hyperlinks using our WYSIWYG html editor. Before we start we encourage you to have this guide open in one browser window and the Web site Administrator in another. In the next few slides, we will provide some important tips you should remember as you work with your Emerald Website.

  4. Before You Begin Tip 1: Bookmark Bookmark emeraldsupport.com. We post helpful information to help you manage the Web site. Consider going through a WebEx training session. Attendees often benefit by the questions raised by other users at the end of the session.

  5. Before You Begin Tip 2: Where to Log In Access the Web site Administrator by clicking on the Web Site Admin button. Log into the account by putting in the user name and password in the fields provided. Lose the User name and Password? Click the information button for help

  6. Before You Begin Tip 2: Where to Log In This will lead to the Home page of the Emerald Web Site Administrator. The dashboard provides access to both Emerald content and customizable Web site sections.

  7. Before You Begin Tip 3: Save Often Remember: Internet connections can sometimes slow down and even stop working during a session. Safeguard against data loss by bysaving changes often.

  8. Before You Begin Tip 4: Preview Preview changes. At various points, it is important to preview changes in order to test page format. Consider gathering vital information, content, and images before starting. Make one pass-through of all the fields provided, then preview the site.

  9. Before You Begin Tip 4: Preview When previewing, the administrator will provide a reminder that the site being previewed is a private copy of the Web site. Only those who can log into the Web site administrator can see it under development. Click Close This Window on the Preview Site Disclaimer to review the changes made.

  10. Before You Begin Tip 5: Pop Up Blockers If upon previewing, the page returns to the Web Site Administratorpage, then a pop-up blocker is active on the browser. Click on the Pop-up info bar and click Always Allow Pop-ups from This Site. Click View Preview Site again. If the popup blocker has been successfully defeated, then close the pop up disclaimer and advance to a preview of the Web site.

  11. Before You Begin Tip 6: Update Site Button When changes are made, the Update Sitebutton turns red. It is best to wait until a complete round of changes are made before clicking it. This way the Broker Dealer compliance department has a chance to review all changes at once. Consider waiting until they approve the changes before making another round. If you do not click the Update Site button, your broker dealer's compliance department will not see your changes.

  12. Before You Begin Tip 7: Site Status Compliance departments take between 5 and 10 business days to review and approve changes. We recommend a visit to Reports / Site Status to view the status of changes submitted to compliance. If the Web site is attached to Emerald's electronic compliance manager, all posted changes will read "awaiting compliance manager approval". For items that the broker dealer compliance requires further changes, the status message will read,"Previous Changes Rejected". Once changes have been made and approved, the message will change to "Approved moved to the public site".

  13. Custom Pages Overview The Emerald Web site comes preloaded with nine pages. However, we provide up to 20 custom pages as part of the Web site subscription. Additional pages can be added by selecting either "add a new custom page" or "Add a new link to an outside page"
