YOUR UKNIGHT SITE HOW TO SET UP
It takes only a few steps to set up a UKNIGHT site. However, the process requires access to membership and other information maintained by your council’s Financial Secretary.
For that reason, initial setup should be performed by the Financial Secretary. Once the following steps have been completed, the FS can assign log-in access for ongoing content management responsibilities.
The member list is essential to many UKNIGHT functions. So the first step in setting up your site is to extract and save your council’s membership list for upload to the UKNIGHT server. To do this:
Go to www.KofC.org and click OFFICERS ONLINE.
Within the EXTRACT function, select the following *additional* fields (required): □ Residence Phone □ Cell Phone □ Primary Email □ First Degree Date □ 3rd Degree Date □ 4th Degree Date □ Birth Date □ Prefix □ Suffix
Save the list to your hard drive as a “comma-separated value” (CSV) file. CLICK HERE for a step-by-step video of this OFFICERS ONLINE EXTRACT function, or go to: http://KofCKnights.org/HowToVideo.asp?V=FSEML in your browser.

It also enables prospective members to find their nearest council through the interactive Search and Directory functions. To make sure your council can take full advantage of these features, your next step is to update your council’s information on the ABOUT US page. Here’s how:
