Consequences of "Opt-out" Group Project Profile

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I am co-administrator to a relatively small surname project.
I recently noticed that the DNA Classic Table that is viewable by group members and the public is absent members that are otherwise visible in the administrator's page view.? ??

Today, the lead administrator and I came to the realization that if a member has not "opted in" to the Group Project Profile, the member will not be visible int the DNA classic chart, Big Y or other Y result.? Again, "opt outs" are visible in the DNA Result Classic that is accessible to Administrators at Administrator page.?

I recall the notification that Big-Y testers had to "opt in" to Group Project Profile" in order to be visible in the Group Time Tree, but I do not recall a note stating that an "opt out" to Group Project Profile would result in one's absence from "DNA Results Classic" at member sight.?

This might be a case of my being last to know, but I thought it worth a note.

Hi Richard.? ?I think this has been an issue on the "Project Pages" for a fairly long while since they are public. In the past, I've periodically had to conduct a small campaign to encourage project members to opt in. There are always a few who didn't want to for whatever reason. I have to respect that. The other issue is that about two years ago, the option to be in or out moved. I forget where it was before.. I remember it required a healthy scroll-down.? Now it is on the Project Preferences tab under Account Settings on the individuals' home page (dashboard).?

You probably are aware that in GAP, you can sort your Member Information listing (under Member Reports) by clicking the header for the column labeled "Publicly Share DNA Results." That puts all the "NO's" together and allows you to capture the e-mail addresses to send e-mails to just those people asking them to Opt-In.?

I hope this is helpful.??

Tom & other R1b-U106

Our small project of 256 members has 98 kits that are "plus "Family Finder/"absent" Y test results.? If even half that number receives a Y-DNA result,? I might find myself quite busy depending on what is the generalized plan for the integration of these kits/individuals into group project features.? For example, will project managers have to somehow integrate these kits into subgroups for the output of Y-DNA Classic ?? Although our project is small, we do have a good number of brackets that are defined by near terminal SNP.? ??
??
Given privacy concerns, I suppose I should also anticipate lots of e-mail exchanges on the subject of Group Project Profile "opt in".

Again, I might have missed something in the "Newsletter" that explains this.?
