Membership Window

Membership Window
 
The Membership Window is used to manage your membership database as well as view the individual members account, past booking history and other relative data.
 
You also use this window to access the tasks and tools associated with your membership base, eg Mail Merge.
 
Most of the items and functions available from this window are only available in the Enterprise Version. Only the basic items are available in the Standard Version.
 
The information required in the various text boxes, drop down lists etc are largely self explanatory and accordingly we have only provided notes on those items that are not explained elsewhere or are not self-explanatory.
 
If you need to refer to a member's account in Reports you may need to include your own AC-Code in MyCourts Administrator.
