Canadian non-profits: what steps are you taking to handle the upcoming CASL legislation?

University Hospital Foundation

Interested to hear how other organizations are working with and in the face of upcoming CASL laws from the CRTC.

Hi



We are struggling with this too. On the knowledge base article for RE BB750357 the suggestion doesn't seem very friendly for NetCommunity.


-It suggests a table attribute where only one option can be selected. If you display this to website users they would see a drop down box.


-It also doesn't suggest how to get a date stamp for this attribute which I believe is a requirement from CASL. BB support told me that woudl be a manual step.



Our Solution?


It's proably going to be a bit strange...


-I think we are going to display check boxes to the user on our web form. One might be an opt-in and one for opt-out. This will correspond to a table attribute in RE that allows multiple selections. So not great as that will allow users to select both opt-in and out at the same time or neither.


-then to capture the date, I've heard a newer patch of NC or RE might have a feature that has date stamping for attributes that come from NC. I'm going to look into that more.



Very curious to hear what others are doing
