Introduction

MORSL is a private, curated deal-flow and opportunity network. The Community Administrator role gives you management oversight of one or more boards. Your purpose on those boards is to create and manage incentives — structured rewards that encourage members to engage with specific opportunity postings.

The Community Administrator exists at the intersection of board governance and member engagement. You do not participate in deal-flow conversations directly. Instead, you shape the incentive landscape — deciding which postings deserve an attached reward and what that reward looks like — with the goal of increasing the quality and volume of member responses.

IMPORTANT
Community Administrators may not read the body of member postings, submit replies, or open board content pages. These restrictions are enforced by the platform. Your dashboard gives you the information you need to manage incentives without accessing confidential deal-flow content.

What you can and cannot do

✓ You can

  • View and switch between the boards you administer
  • See aggregate statistics for each board
  • Browse a read-only posting list with title, date, reply count, and incentive status

  • Edit the title, details, and date range of an existing incentive
  • Unlink (remove) an incentive from a posting
  • Sort your board list by activity, name, or incentive count
  • Update your profile, appearance, and account settings

✗ You cannot

  • Read the full body of any member posting
  • Submit or read replies on any posting

The Community Admin Dashboard

2.1 Accessing Your Dashboard

After signing in, MORSL detects your Community Administrator role and provides a link in the account dropdown. You can reach it at any time by:

  • Clicking “Admin dashboard” in the account dropdown menu (top-right avatar)
  • Navigating directly to /public/community_admin_home.php

2.2 Dashboard Layout

The Community Admin dashboard uses a two-panel layout:

Left sidebar

Lists every board on which you hold the Community Administrator role. Each board item shows the board name, total posting count, time since the most recent posting, and an amber incentive count badge. A sort dropdown at the top controls the order.

Right panel

The main workspace for the board you have selected, divided into a sticky header, a two-tab navigation bar (Incentives and Postings), and a scrollable workspace area.

2.3 The Role Badge

A teal “Community admin” chip appears in the top bar immediately to the right of the MORSL logo. This badge confirms which role is active for your current session and serves as a persistent reminder that you are operating in administrator mode, not member mode.

2.4 The Board Header

When a board is selected, the sticky header at the top of the right panel shows:

  • The board name
  • A subtitle line showing total postings, total members, and number of incentives currently active
  • A teal “Add incentive” button in the top-right corner

2.5 Switching Between Boards

Click any board name in the left sidebar to load that board’s workspace. The active board is highlighted in teal. The right panel updates immediately — there is no page reload delay.

04

The Incentives Tab

The Incentives tab is the default view when you select a board and your primary workspace. It contains three sections: the statistics row, the active incentives list, and the postings-without-incentive list.

4.1 Statistics Row

Four metric tiles sit at the top of the workspace. The “Need incentive” tile in amber is your action queue — it tells you how many postings are still waiting for an incentive.

With incentive

4.2 Active Incentives List

All postings that currently have an incentive are shown as incentive cards. Each card displays:

  • A gold star icon on the left, set against an amber background tile
  • The incentive title in bold
  • The title of the posting the incentive is linked to (prefixed with a link icon)
  • The incentive date range, if one was specified (e.g. “Apr 1 – Jun 30”)
  • The reply count on the linked posting
  • A posting reference number (e.g. POST-42)
  • Two action buttons: Edit (teal) and Unlink (outlined, red hover)

4.3 Postings Without an Incentive

Below the active incentives, a section lists every posting on the board that does not yet have an incentive attached. Each row shows the posting title, relative creation date, a “No incentive” status chip, and a teal “Add” button that opens the creation form pre-scoped to that posting.

TIP
Use the “Add” button on a specific posting row rather than the “Add incentive” button in the header when you already know which posting you want to incentivize. Both open the same form — the row button simply pre-selects the posting in the dropdown.
05

Adding an Incentive

5.1 Opening the Add Incentive Form

Open the incentive creation form in two ways:

  • Click the teal “Add incentive” button in the board header (top right of the main panel)
  • Click the “Add” button on any row in the “Postings without an incentive” list

The form appears inline in the workspace — you do not navigate to a separate page. The page scrolls smoothly to the form when it opens.

5.2 Completing the Form

FieldRequiredDescription
Posting to incentivizeYesDropdown listing all unincentivized postings on the current board. Only postings without an existing incentive appear here.
Incentive titleYesShort label up to 120 characters. This is what members see on the posting card and detail page. Be specific: “2% referral fee on successful close” is more compelling than “fee”.
Incentive detailsNoRich text editor for full terms, conditions, eligibility, and payment timing. Supports bold, italic, underline, lists, and hyperlinks.
Valid fromNoDate from which the incentive is active (YYYY-MM-DD or date picker). Leave blank for no start constraint.
Valid toNoExpiry date. Must be on or after Valid From if both are provided. Leave blank for no expiry.
NOTE
At minimum, an incentive title and a target posting are required. All other fields are optional. You can always edit the incentive later to add or refine details.

5.3 Saving the Incentive

1
Review all fields. Confirm the correct posting is selected in the dropdown.
2
Click the teal “Save & link” button.
3
MORSL validates the form. If any required field is missing or the Valid To date precedes Valid From, an error appears at the top of the workspace in red.
4
On success, a green confirmation banner appears: “Incentive added to posting successfully.”
5
The posting moves from the “Postings without an incentive” list to the “Active incentives” list.

To discard without saving, click “Cancel”. The form closes and no changes are made.

5.4 What Members See After You Add an Incentive

  • An amber left border on the posting card in their board feed
  • A gold star chip on the card showing the incentive title (truncated to 40 characters)
  • The full incentive card on the posting detail page, showing title, rich-text details, and date range
  • The incentive title in the Deal Snapshot sidebar panel
NOTE
Members cannot edit or remove incentives. The incentive card on the posting detail page is read-only for all members. Only you, as the Community Administrator for that board, can modify it.
06

Editing an Incentive

6.1 Opening the Edit Form

Locate the incentive card in the “Active incentives” list on the Incentives tab and click the teal “Edit” button. The card is replaced in place with a pre-populated edit form. The linked posting shown in the form header cannot be changed during editing — to move an incentive to a different posting, unlink it first and create a new one.

6.2 Making Changes

  • Update the incentive title to correct wording or change the offer description
  • Update the incentive details in the rich text editor to add, remove, or clarify terms
  • Change the Valid From or Valid To dates to extend, shorten, or shift the active period
  • Clear the date fields to remove a date constraint entirely
TIP
If the incentive period has passed and you want to reactivate it, simply update the Valid To date to a future date. Members will see the updated dates immediately.

6.3 Saving Changes

1
Make your changes in the edit form.
2
Click the teal “Save changes” button.
3
MORSL validates the form. An error appears if the title is empty or the date range is invalid.
4
On success, a green banner appears: “Incentive updated successfully.” The incentive card reflects your changes immediately.

To discard changes, click “Cancel”. The edit form closes and the incentive card is restored to its previous state.

07

Unlinking an Incentive

7.1 When to Unlink

Unlinking removes the incentive from a posting entirely. The incentive data (title, details, dates) is deleted and cannot be recovered. Common reasons to unlink include:

  • The incentive period has ended and the offer is no longer valid
  • The incentive was attached to the wrong posting
  • The terms have changed so significantly that starting fresh is cleaner than editing
WARNING
Unlinking is permanent. The incentive title, details, and date range are cleared from the posting record and cannot be restored. If there is any chance you will need the content again, copy the text before unlinking.

7.2 How to Unlink

1
Locate the incentive card in the Active incentives list on the Incentives tab.
2
Click the “Unlink” button on the right side of the card.
3
A browser confirmation dialog appears: “Remove this incentive from the posting?”
4
Click OK to confirm, or Cancel to abort — no changes will be made.
5
On confirmation, a green banner appears: “Incentive removed from posting.”
6
The posting moves from the Active incentives list back to the Postings without an incentive list.

The posting itself is not affected — only the incentive fields are cleared. The posting title, body, author, and replies remain unchanged.

08

The Postings Tab

The Postings tab provides a read-only overview of all postings on the selected board. Its primary purpose is to help you find and assess postings when deciding where to place incentives.

8.1 What Each Row Shows

  • Posting title — full title, truncated with an ellipsis if very long
  • Date and reply count — relative posting date and number of replies (e.g. “3d ago · 4 replies”)
  • Status chip — amber chip with incentive title if linked, or grey “No incentive” chip
  • Add button — appears on rows without an incentive, opens the creation form pre-scoped to that posting

8.2 Reading Incentive Status

Chip appearanceMeaning
Amber chip with textThis posting has an incentive. The chip shows the first 30 characters of the incentive title.
Grey “No incentive” chip + Add buttonThis posting has no incentive. Click Add to open the creation form for this posting.

8.3 Searching Postings

A search box sits at the top of the Postings tab workspace. Type a keyword and press Enter to filter the posting list by title or body text. Delete the text and press Enter to clear the search.

TIP
Search is particularly useful on high-volume boards. Search for a sector, deal type, or company name to quickly locate postings most relevant to an incentive campaign you are planning.

8.4 Limitations

NOTE
The Postings tab shows posting titles and metadata only. You cannot open, read, or reply to any posting from this view. Clicking a posting title does not navigate anywhere. The tab exists solely to inform your incentive management decisions.
