The Higher Logic Thrive Marketing Professional (Thrive Marketing Professional) Admin interface is intended for account Admins who will use the interface.

Dashboard

Each session begins on the Admin Dashboard, where charts display at-a-glance metrics to provide an efficient way to gauge output and engagement.

See Admin Dashboard to learn more.

Navigation

Navigating the interface is accomplished via the vertical Navigation panel. The menu items have been ordered and labeled to provide a streamlined and intuitive user experience.

TIP: If your organization licenses our Higher Logic Thrive Community (Thrive Community) product also, two tabs display above the search field on the panel, so that you can easily access the Admin interface for each product.

The vertical orientation provides a better mobile experience, and the panel can be collapsed to optimize website real estate. In addition, you can search by current (or former) menu terms for quick access to those Admin pages.

NOTE: Type at least three characters to initiate the search and automatically refresh the list to display matches.

Resource Center

Click the in the upper-right corner to open Resource Center where you can:

• watch task-based instructional videos,
• access HUG activities,
• jump to knowledge base articles, and
• stay up to date on product changes.

See Resource Center and In-App Help to learn more.

In-app Help

Click the in the upper-right corner to open In-app Help which has:

• "how-to" content that is specific to the current page so that you can get help without leaving the page and
• links to relevant knowledge base articles if you want to learn more.

See Resource Center and In-App Help to learn more.

List pages

Many Admin interface pages have been designed in a list structure. This was done for a singular reason: Efficiency. These list pages make it easier to find, create, and manage your content.

Lists - type and status

On many of the list pages, the page title includes a dropdown that you can click in order to access other lists in that category, but of different types or statuses.

EXAMPLE: On the Messages: In-Progress list, click the dropdown to access your Review, Sent, Triggered, and Scheduled messages.

Search

Click the magnifying glass icon to display the search field. The search queries a set of available columns that have been indexed so that results are presented quickly.

• The searchable columns vary from one list to another.

The list automatically updates with each typed character and displays all records (visible and hidden) that contain a match. Click the X to clear the search field to restore the original list.

Filter

Some list pages have a filter feature in which you can combine multiple fields using an "AND" operator for more focused filtering of the list entries.

Columns

List pages have several columns that you can show or hide. This means that you:

• have the ability to display just the data that you're interested in and
• can more easily locate the list entry (e.g., message, contact, campaign) you're looking for.

The number of columns per list has been streamlined to improve performance.

Preview Panel

A Preview Panel is available on many list pages. Upon clicking an item in the list, the panel opens and provides an at-a-glance view of key data and metrics. Dots under a field value indicate that the data can be edited.

Messages lists

The Messages list defaults to In-Progress messages; it displays Message Designer messages as well as other, "legacy" mailing types for long-standing accounts.

See Create a Message with Message Designer and Manage Messages.

• Click the dropdown to the right of the page title to access other Messages lists.

Messages lists articles

Each Messages list is looked at in more detail in:

• In-Progress, see Manage Messages
• Review, see Manage Your In-Review Messages
• Sent, see Manage Your Sent Messages
• Triggered, see Create and Manage Triggered Messages
• Scheduled, see Manage Your Scheduled Messages

Thrive Community integration

If you want to integrate your Thrive Marketing Professional account with your Thrive Community, you have to create a case with Higher Logic Support to request:

• the integration be enabled for your account and
• the necessary access credentials (IAMKey and password) be sent to you.

You can then manage the integration by navigating to Settings > Setup > Online Community Integration.

To learn more about this integration, see Thrive Marketing Professional Integration (Thrive Community).

Support options

The Navigation panel has a Support item with several options that simplify accessing some of our help and support resources. Click:

• Support Center to manage your tickets and to create a case.
• Community to visit our Higher Logic User Group (HUG) community.
• Contact Us to open a knowledge base article with product-specific email addresses.
• Privacy Policy to view Higher Logic's policies on the collection and use of personal data.

TIP: All of these links open the page in a new browser tab so that you retain your page in the Admin interface.

What's changed from classic Thrive Marketing Professional

If you've been using Thrive Marketing Professional for a while and have been migrated to the "new" Admin interface, below are some of the more notable changes that you should be aware of.

Terminology changes

If you have migrated from a prior version of Thrive Marketing Professional, you're likely to see some things referred to differently. This is due to a rebranding initiative.

TIP: You can type the old item name in the navigation search box to find its new equivalent.

Templates list page

The Templates list page displays all template types.

Accounts that have the Standard and Advanced template types will see them listed with the current Template Designer. You can manage all your templates from a single list.

Target Groups

Target Groups have been relabeled Groups and are accessible by clicking Contacts > Groups.

Test tab for mailings

This tab has been removed.

You can test your messages with the options on the Review Message tab.

To learn more, see Send a Message.

Subscriber reports

Reports were reviewed for their usefulness and usage. The following subscriber reports were deprecated because most of the data was available in other reports.

• Demographics
• Demographics Search
• Demographic Summary

Triggered mailing folders

Campaigns are a better way to engage with audiences so triggered mailing folders has been deprecated.

Deleting folders

In the new Admin interface, you cannot delete a folder until all of its messages have been deleted. This makes it a more purposeful action and reduces the risk of accidental folder deletions.

Hover menus

List pages in the Admin interface function differently. In most cases, you must select a row to manage it.

Some of the list pages still have the traditional Thrive Marketing Professional hover menu:

...but as we move toward creating a consistent Admin experience, this menu type will gradually be phased out.

iMIS Remote Interests

This option was moved from the Profile Fields area to its own List page; navigate to Contacts > Remote Interests.

iMIS Activities tab

This was removed from the Subscriber pop-up due to low usage. It provided only a narrow view of activity data that is viewable in iMIS.
