My Account Data Page
This is the page that will let you view, edit and update the information that you entered when you set up your account. It holds the data about the wedding, the information the account is under and all the other information about the BridalTrack account itself.
Example of My Account Data Page
Click To View Full Size
Everything you entered in the Account Registration Page to set up your BridalTrack Database is accessible in the My Data Page. When you are signed onto your database you can get to this page by clicking on your email address in blue box of the BridalTrack Header.
The My Data Page is laid out very similar to the Account Registration Page, but holds a couple more pieces of data. This page of your BridalTrack Database can be broken down into this sections:
| 1. Wedding Information Section | 4. Change Password Section |
This page works very similar to the way the Contact's Data Page handles updating data. You are able to change your data directly on the screen and submit those changes by clicking the button at the bottom-center of the page. The form then validates all the data, updates the database as necessary and reloads itself to tell you of the status of your updates.
Like the Contact's Data Page some fields are required. So, when you omit or delete data in required fields they will be reloaded and highlighted in orange to denote a failed update. Likewise for any data that is invalid. The below sections will detail which fields are required and any specific data validations that are done on the fields.
Wedding Information Section
The top left section contains information about the wedding itself. The first input contains the name of the bride, the second holds the name of the groom, and the last input is made of 3 select boxes and holds the wedding date.
My Account Data Page, Wedding Information Section
All three of these fields in this section are required. Further, the wedding date must be a valid date or it will be highlighted with an orange label to denote an error. For example, February 30 would be a date you could enter, but would not be valid.
Especially important in this section is the wedding date. Because the Control Center Page is broken down into steps and each step has a specific timeframe, it is important that the wedding date listed in this section is as accurate as possible. This is because the wedding date you enter serves as the basis for the calculation of all those dates.
For example, on Step 2: Save The Date Notices, four months are subtracted from the wedding date to calculate the beginning date and six months are subtracted for the ending date. If the actual wedding date is different, then those timeframes will be off as well.
Contact Information Section
Beneath the Wedding Information is the Contact Information Section of your BridalTrack Account. The data displayed here is that of the the person who set up and is in charge of the database.
My Account Data Page, Contact Information Section
All the data held here is straightforward. It contains the name, phone number and address of the person in charge of this account. Like the Wedding Information Section, every field here is required. While you can change the data in the fields, you cannot make them blank.
Additionally, none of the phone number inputs nor the zip code input can contain letters. Inputting anything other than numbers into those input fields and submitting the change will fail.
Database Information Section
This section holds information about the database itself. It tells you the status of your database and the limits on it.
My Account Data Page, Database Information Section
The first field of this section is labeled "Current Contacts:" and lets you know how many contacts you have entered into your database. The second field is "Maximum Contacts:" and lets you know how many contacts you can enter into your database. Together, these fields let you know exactly how many more contacts you can enter into your database.
The "Expiration Date:" field lets you know when your account will no longer be accessible. None of the first three links of your database can be directly edited. Instead, to change the values of how many contacts your account can hold and the date it is to expire, you would need to visit the Upgrade Account Page. Just to the right of the value of the maximum contacts and the expiration date are links to that page.
The last field of this section is the "E-mail:" field. On BridalTrack, this acts as both the username you use to sign on to your database as well as a method for contacting you. Therefore, it is extremly important that this is correct and goes to an email account that is easily accessible by you.
Most likely you will not need to change this on your database, but if you do, it is possible. Simply type in the new address you would like to use and click the "Update Data" button. As long as the new address is a valid email and not used by another account, then you will be allowed to use it.
Change Password Section
This section allows you to change your password. Most likely you will never need to change it. For whatever reason, though, if you do, it is as simple as typing the new password twice and clicking the "Update Data" button.
My Account Data Page, Change Password Section
Because you have to be signed onto your account to view this page, you do not need to enter the old one anywhere. All you must do to change your password is type it in the exact same way two times. First enter it into the field labeled "New Password:" and then tab down and enter it in the field labeled "Confirm Password:"
The only requirement is that the password is between five and ten characters long and you typed it correctly twice. As long as that is true then your password will be changed immediately. If not, the page will reload and highlight the labels on both of these fields.
Update Data Button
When you have finished making changes to your data, click this button and BridalTrack will process the changes. First it validates all your input. Next it inserts all the changes you made into the database. Then it reloads the My Account Data Page and notifies you of the status of the update.
My Account Data Page, Update Data Button
BridalTrack tests all the input data. It makes sure that all the required fields have data, the data is appropriate for the field it is in, and that the data is accurate. All data that is valid will be saved and will be reflected when the My Account Data Page reloads.
When the page does reload a message will appear in a color box atop the page. If all the changes were made, then "Update Successful" will appear in a light blue box. Otherwise, "Update Attempted" will appear and the data that was invalid will have an orange label. This denotes that the data you entered for this field was invalid. Simply correct it and resubmit.
