Overview

Open enrollment enables clients to open their travel site to allow visitors or employees to self-enroll, yet still maintain a secure site. You can manage open enrollment settings to define enablement, restrictions, messaging for end users, and email templates.

Open enrollment is typically configured for companies that want travelers to self-onboard themselves. However, clients may choose a closed enrollment if they want more control over their user accounts.

Need to Know

  • For security:

    • DO NOT post the secret key in a public location, and periodically change the security key.\

    • It is recommended to periodically run a user profile extract to determine which accounts should be deactivated. Deem Partner Dashboard access with appropriate permissions are required to pull a user extract.

  • Some fields in open enrollment configuration are cloned or enabled from the parent template site. These fields can be modified if applicable. However, some fields are not cloned and must be entered directly.

  • You must enable open enrollment for each client requesting this option.

  • Deem provides information about how each user account is created and modified. For more information, see How Account was Created/Modified.

Configuring Open Enrollment

To enable open enrollment and set security requirements:

  1. From the Partner Dashboard home page for the desired site, select the Settings tab.

  2. Select Open Enrollment to display the Open Enrollment page.

Open Enrollment

  1. Select Enable Open Enrollment to activate open enrollment for this site.

Restriction Criteria

You can set security restricting using either or both email domain names and secret keys. The following example displays configuration using a security key.

  1. Optional. Select Restrict by email address restrict open enrollment to users with an email address in specific domains.
    If selected, in Allowed domains, enter one or more email domains. Domains:

    • Are comma-delimited for multiple domains. For example: sampletravel.com, travelsite.com, mytravel.org

    • Have a 500-character limit for this field, including commas to separate domains.

  2. Optional. Select Restrict by secret key to restrict open enrollment to a specific word or phrase.
    Important! Clients and participants are strongly advised not to post the Security Key in any public location or site. If the key is openly available, anyone can register on the site. The key should also be changed periodically.
    If selected:

    • In Secret Key (alpha-numeric), enter word or phrase that will be provided to end users.

    • In Secret key label, enter a label to display next to the Secret Key field. For example: Enter Open Enrollment Security word or phrase.
