Edit Membership Categories

As an adminitrator, you may set up an unlimited number of membership categories. The membership categories will appear during user registration and in the Subscription Table or Subscription Renewal.

Select Membership Categories from the Club Administration panel on the Welcome Page Menu. The Edit Membership Categories page appears.

Table

The Membership Categories table displays all the categories and has the following columns: Category ID, Category Name, Short Name, Duration (weeks), Cost, Max. Age, Min. Age, Available to New Applicants?, Currently Available at All?, Select button. All bar the Select column are sortable. Click the column heading once to sort in ascending order, and again to sort in descending order.

Category ID

A unique number automatically assigned by the database.

Category Name

The name of the Category or Status e.g. "Committee Member".

Short Name

Make it short and snappy.

Duration (weeks)

Default duration for a subscription is one year. If your category applies to annual subscriptions, leave this column blank. Otherwise, for temp or trial memberships, enter the number of weeks for which a subscription of this category would be valid.

Cost

Enter the normal cost of the subscription. This can be overriden on an individual basis by the administrator e.g. if you are offering a late-season discount.

Max Age

Enter the maximum age for a member wishing to join this category. E.g. Max. age for category "Junior" may be 15. Age limits are applied to the Season Start Date, which is set by the club, and are inclusive. So if a member is aged 15 on the 1st May (season start date) then that member would be eligible for the category "Junior".

Min Age

Enter the minimum age for a member wishing to join this category. E.g. Min. age for category "Junior" may be 6; min. age for "Full Adult" may be 16. Age limits are applied to the Season Start Date, which is set by the club, and are inclusive. So if a member is aged 16 on the 1st May (season start date) then that member would be eligible for the category "Full Adult "; however a member aged 5 on 1st May would not be eligible for category "Junior" that season.

Available to New Applicants?

This defines which categories will be available at the Registration process. E.g. "Head Coach" would not because no new applicant can appoint himself "Head Coach". However, the previous year's Head Coach would find the category was available for renewal.

Currently Available at All?

Use this column to make a category obsolete. A category that has previously been used cannot be deleted; however, it can be made obsolete so that it is no longer available for members in the future.
