How are documents secured?
Documents are protected with AES-256 encryption at rest and served via authenticated streaming to ensure only authorized users have access.
What is PDF watermarking and why is it important?
Bordinal offers granular PDF watermarking (customizable by color, size, and opacity) to prevent unauthorized distribution by identifying the user who downloaded the file.
Is there a record of all platform activity?
Bordinal maintains an immutable audit trail of all user actions, including login history, document access, and voting activity, for compliance and security reviews.
Can we require members to agree to terms of use before entry?
Yes, the platform includes a mandatory End User License Agreement (EULA) system that blocks all access until the current version of the association’s policy is accepted by the user.
How does the digital voting system work?
Bordinal provides a comprehensive voting system for initiatives that includes anonymous voting options, vote locking, and real-time results.
Can we limit who is allowed to create board content?
Yes, administrators can restrict the creation of topics, documents, and initiatives to specific roles such as committee chairs and secretaries.
Is there a way to highlight critical updates?
Organizations can use dashboard pinning to highlight critical content, such as urgent discussions or documents, on the main member dashboard.
How does Bordinal help manage board meetings?
The platform includes comprehensive meeting management for scheduling, agenda uploads, and minute tracking, with calendar integration for Google and Outlook.
How are documents organized?
Bordinal uses a hierarchical folder system that separates organization-wide document libraries from specific committee-level files.
Can we turn off specific features if we don’t need them?
Yes, granular feature toggles allow admins to enable or disable discussions, voting, documents, meetings, and watermarking at both the organization and group levels.
How do members stay updated on new activity?
Members receive configurable email notifications with options for immediate alerts, daily digests, or weekly delivery.
Does Bordinal integrate with AMS systems?
Bordinal features deep SSO integration, allowing for seamless single sign-on and automatic committee membership synchronization.
How does the AMS committee sync work?

Can we brand the platform for our association?
Bordinal supports white-labeling, including logo uploads, custom color schemes, and organization-specific email sender identities.
Is there a way to quickly onboard a large group of members?
Beyond SSO, administrators can use a bulk user import tool to rapidly onboard members via CSV files.
