Your program settings help you manage your program and set your program up for success. Within your program settings, you are able to customise the look and feel of your mentoring program.
Where can I find my Program Settings?
Navigate to Program settings from your top bar navigation.
Signup form

Preview your form.

Activate/deactivate the link (if your program is at capacity, deactivate the link to prevent further participants signing up).
To deactivate your link, select the Active button on the right side. It is deactivated when the button is grey and you'll receive a notification at the top of the screen that it has been updated.
This is what participants will see if they have received the link and it is deactivated:
Target number of participants
Self Match
Limit open match requests
This section allows you to adjust the number of pending requests a participant can make. By default, it is set to unlimited requests.
To change that, simply untick the option, which will allow you to adjust the text box to suit the number of requests you would like the participant to make.
Customise your program
You can now change the look and feel of your program dashboard and signup page in this section.

Signup form welcome message
This allows you to change the message that is shown at the beginning of your signup form.
Program coordinator loop introduction
When a mentor or mentee has finalised their profile by completing the recruitment form and verifying their email, they will then have access to the Mentorloop platform. Upon logging in for the first time they will immediately receive the program coordinator loop introduction from their 1:1 loop.
Top tip: On the right-hand side are special codes that you copy into the introduction message, that will automatically edit and include the participant's first name. This saves you from changing the introduction message each time a new participant is onboard and allows it to be more personal.
What new participants see:
New match email notification
This section allows you to edit the default email that participants receive when you notify them that they have been matched.
Top tip: When you are creating a loop, you are still able to edit this new match message before approving it.
Dashboard introduction message
This feature allows you to add a message for all your participants to see on their dashboards. You can begin writing your message on the left and be able to preview it on the left before posting!
It is supported by Markdown Syntax which gives you the ability to edit your message such as your font, adding links or adding dot points!
