<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Every student group on Rubric has its own **homepage**, which is linked to the club's **account email**. This homepage can be found on the Students' Union's Rubric, and is how students interested in a club interact with the organization.  
  
In order to access this homepage, log in via your user account and switch to your **executive account**. If you are not set up as a club executive, [refer to this page.](https://docs.su.ualberta.ca/books/student-group-services/page/executive-team)</span>

3. Click on the icon in the top-right of the screen

You will always be able to tell if you are viewing your homepage as an executive if you can see the **club link** in the middle of the header, along with the ability to manually edit sections. The following sections can be edited:

- **Memberships**: Any membership types created and set to **active** are visible on your club page. This is how students can voluntary sign-up for your organization.
- **News:** You can post brief updates to your club homepage for people to read. It can include text, links to external websites, and a header - they appear (descending) from **newest to oldest.**
- **Events:** Any approved events will appear in your events tab. Upcoming events that are still taking sign-ups are available, but it also lists past events.
- **Merchandise**: *This feature is currently disabled by our Union.*
- **Committee**: Any member assigned an **executive role** on Rubric is displayed here. You can edit their profile picture, biography, or remove them from the public listing.
- **Deals**: If you have any deals for event tickets or membership prices, they appear here for students to purchase.

There are two side-tabs on the left side of the club settings page: **Settings**, and **Exec Team Management**. More information about the latter can be [found on this page.](https://docs.su.ualberta.ca/books/student-group-services/page/executive-team)

For the club **Settings**, there are three sections: the **General Settings**, the **Subscription Settings,** and the **Bank Account** settings.

##### General Settings

Basic features of your group can be edited and sorted on this part of the page. If a section is greyed out, you will need to submit an [information change request form](https://portal.hellorubric.com/form?fid=5106) via Rubric.

- **Full Name** - The full name of the group.
- **Acronym** - The shorthand name of the group.
- **Discord URL** - You can upload a link to a discord server where your group is hosted.
- **Category** - The main category for your group. This is how students might filter clubs when searching for their interests.
- **Contact Email** - This is the email address that you will use to log into your club account, and communications related to your club's submissions will go to this email by default. Please ensure this is an email address that you have reliable access to, and is not an individual student's email.
- **Business Number** - Groups that are recognized businesses in Canada are assigned a unique 9-digit identifier number. This section will be left blank.
- **Mailing Address - The address for where mail will be sent for the group. This can be left blank, or you can use the [Student Life Central address](https://docs.su.ualberta.ca/books/student-group-services/page/mailing-address).

- <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">**Colour Hex** - This feature has yet to be implemented on the platform.</span>
- **<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Society Logo</span>**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> - The logo of your group page, which will show up on all elements of your club (events, homepage, membership passes). [Please ensure your logo is in compliance with trademark requirements.](https://docs.su.ualberta.ca/books/student-group-services/page/licensing-and-trademarks)</span>

<p class="callout info">[<span style="color: #000000;">Use the Information Change Request Form to update your group name, acronym, bank account settings, and more!</span>](https://portal.hellorubric.com/form?fid=5106)</p>

##### Subscription Settings

Rubric automates messages (emails &amp; SMS) to all clubs and users on their platform. Though we strongly recommend keeping these features on, groups have the right to toggle specific subscriptions at their discretion. Simply uncheck one of the messaging services, and you will stop receiving communications.

##### Bank Account Settings

For groups that wish to use Rubric for **monetary transactions**, you will need to input your banking information. Once your bank account information is set, payments will be sent to that account from **ticket, membership, or deal sales**.

Note that, this will not give Rubric unrestricted access to your bank account. Rather, it will work like other transaction platforms (e.g. Paypal) as a means of transferring money from one digital wallet to another.

The **settlement** is the schedule for when these revenues will be sent to your account; a.k.a. the **payout**.

- **Weekly:** Receive sales proceeds every 7-14 days
- **Monthly:** Get funds deposited monthly
- **Post Event:** Receive funds following your event, typically within 1-2 weeks.

For membership and merchandise sales, payments are sent to your account **weekly**.

If you have more questions regarding how the payment system works on Rubric, please reach out to their support team at <support@hellorubric.com>.
