As a site administrator, sometimes you need to look at some data and run the membership reports. The membership reconcile page gives you a centralized place to quickly access to your membership data.

It lists the total members and users with links to a list of active members, pending members and expired members.

Besides the totals, It contains the links to  1) memberships reports, 2) members data, 3) exports.

For more information, please visit the help file What Can I Expect from the Membership Reconcile Page?,

The special interest groups (SIGs) are user groups that requires payments. The module has been released recently. If you’re using membership module, you can integrate it into your membership application and give members the options to join the special interest groups when they are applying memberships. It allows you to have the separate membership payment for regular membership and for special interest groups in one payment transaction.

Integrating SIG to membership is easy; it takes two steps: 1) Add special interest groups in the SIG module. 2) Add the SIG section to your membership application. For detailed information, visit the help file Special Interest Group with Membership.

We have recently rolled out the corporate membership renewal process and renewal reminder. Although they are the basic functionalities in the corporate memberships module, for some reason, they didn’t get included in the initial release. For those who were waiting for this process, we greatly thank you for your patience!

The corporate membership renewal process let you renew your corporate membership as well as the individual memberships under the corporate membership provided that the individual membership type is tied to the corporate membership. For more information on how to renew your corporate membership as an admin and as a dues rep, visit the help files How do I renew a Corporate Membership as an Admin? and How do I renew a Corporate Membership as a Dues Rep?

The renewal reminder will be sent to the dues representative certain days before or after the expiration date. The default setting is 7 days before the expiration date. To turn on or off the renewal reminder, and change its frequency on your site, simply go to http://www.yourdomain.com/en/corporatememberships/ and you’ll find the links to do so. Certainly you must be a site admin.

We have updated a couple of membership reports recently. Not only do they
have the new look and feel now, they also include the total active
members. Under the Member Trends on the membership console page, click on Active Members YTD and Active Members YTD by Type, it will bring you to the updated reports. Certainly you have to be an admin to do so.

The active members YTD gives you a good visual of the trend of your membership growth at a glance.

You can also exclude the total active members and take a close look at the new members and renewing
members.
