Question 1

Can Mentees have more than one Primary Mentor?

Gigi · Accepted Answer

Yes, mentees can have multiple primary mentors if needed. However, assigning just one or two is usually enough to provide effective guidance. It’s important to make sure the primary mentor is someone who can fully commit to the goals and purpose of your program.

Question 2

Deactivate a User

Ania Sanchez · Accepted Answer

Click here to share this video. Deactivating a Mentor or Mentee stops all user activity in MentorPRO without deleting any past activity. To deactivate a user:

Log in to MentorPRO and find the name of the Mentor or Mentee you wish to deactivate.
Deactivate the user by toggling the button under the "Status" column. This change will take effect immediately; users will be logged out of MentorPRO and won't be able to see and interact in the app.
Once a user is deactivated, their profile will still appear throughout the app with a "Deactivated" label. Mentors and Mentees who have interacted with this profile will be able to view past conversations and activities, but further interaction will be disabled.

To reactivate a user, simply toggle the button again.

Nancy McNamara · Accepted Answer

MentorPRO has a well developed and clear EULA that specifies the product, service and delivery details. The EULA should be considered AS=IS and representative of the MentorPRO solution offering. 

Of course anything is possible but this will require customization because currently, all users agree to the EULA within the app, so any changes to the EULA will affect every user or will require a custom version of the app.

Click here to share this video. You can permanently remove Mentors and/or Mentees.

We do not recommend using the Parent Account to communicate with Mentees and Mentors - use your PM account instead.

To remove a user:

Log in following this link and using the parent account.
Organization tab > Navigate to the Mentors or Mentees tab.
Search for the user you wish to remove, and click the three dots under the Action Column. Next, select "Delete" from the options.
A confirmation question will be prompted. Select YES.

Upon removing a user, all associated data will be permanently deleted. We recommend scheduling a data export before undertaking this action. If you need assistance, please reach out to Megyn Jasman (Megyn.Jasman001@umb.edu)

The Resource Hub is a library containing program-specific and general resources such as questions, articles, templates, contact information, and other relevant content. Think of the Resource Hub as the Frequently Asked Questions section of your program. When using MentorPRO, Mentors, and Mentees can easily access the Resource Hub by typing directly into the search bar at the top or clicking on any of the categories listed underneath the search bar to find solutions to their questions. We recommend that Mentees use the Resource Hub to access the information needed to achieve their goals.
