tips to get the most out of your finat community
The new FINAT 2.0 site is a first step towards enabling all FINAT members to network online on a global and a 24/7 basis and thus strengthening the label community. At this launch stage you may come across some sections where we are still working on the conversion of content. We encourage you to browse around in both the open access section and in the “members only” area. Below you will find a few hints on how to benefit from the FINAT 2.0. website:
• You can locate other FINAT members using the “map view” in the members area. This will help you to find FINAT colleagues in your area and develop your network.
• The map “view option” may also be helpful to check whether regional or national colleagues are in fact already a FINAT member and, in case they are not, encourage them to join FINAT.
• Every member company has the possibility to edit and enter a short company description. This can be done by the individual within the company holding the admin access rights. A good company description will help other FINAT members to learn about your company and its services and specialties.
• Using “member search” you can also see which individuals from any member company have created a personal record. You can find contact details to build and strengthen your network.
• In the member area, you can use the “favourites +” button located at the right hand side of the interface, to add sections and create short cuts to your favourite pages. This will enable you to return quickly to specific sections of the website.
