The Portal

Overview
The portal is a little like a shopping centre and market combined – it is a place where members can view community news and notice boards, plus a full listing of the current suppliers and to recommend a supplier you feel should be included in the portal.

CMP Community Charter
Unfortunately although there are many benefits in using technology and especially the Internet but we all know that there are inherent dangers which need to be explicated managed. We all have obligations regarding using the portal which is why it is a prerequisite that all members agree to comply with the CMP Community Charter  Charter page

In addition because the portal interfaces and links with commercial suppliers and also not-for-profit organisations where money may exchange hands, the necessary caveats and disclaimers need to be stated to protect all concerned.

Your Account

Overview
Your Account is a little like a dashboard and is your personal space on the portal as opposed to the main Portal, which is where community information can be found such as news and notice boards, advertising etc. It is where your account details and information preferences are kept; your messages are sent, received and stored; and where you can ask for help, send feedback and of course search for products.

Updating your membership record
Apart from your membership number, most parts of your personal record can be edited – it should be reasonably self-explanatory, but a short video is provided for your convenience. Click here to edit you personal details now.

Information Preferences
Using the Email Alerts option, you can opt-in/out to receive the portal newsletter, alerts about new special offers and new notices placed on the community noticeboard.

Send feedback
The CMP is run for your benefit and so positive feedback and helpful suggestions are welcome.  Select the 'Send Feedback' option

Changing your password
Hopefully you will not have any problems with your password but if you feel that the security of the portal and thus your personal details have been compromised or you used the 'forgotten password' procedure, please follow these steps:-

• select My Account. Click on the + of My Account Management. Change Password and then it should be self-explanatory.

Your password must be at least six characters in length, have one capital letter and one number.
