Subscriptions

The Subscriptions main screen lists the active subscription groups in the review list on the left hand side of the screen. The right hand side panel holds pages for 1) Maintaining Members; 2) Reviewing Members in Detail; 3) Subscription Group Setup.

You can choose to show ‘Active Subscription Groups’ or ‘Inactive Subscription Groups’ by selecting from the drop down above the left hand list of subscriptions.

Subscription charges are also raised through this system by first ‘building’ a batch of charges to be posted and then posting them through to the Fees and Charges system. See Subscription Payment Processing.

Term Calendars can also be maintained by Clicking ‘Setup’ and selecting ‘Academic Calendar Maintenance’ from the popup menu.

Maintaining Members (Page 1)

Page 1, Members, is used to add, delete and amend member details for a Subscription Group.

Choose the Subscription Group from the left hand groups list. This will show all ‘Active’ members by default in the Members List.

Review Members

When you click onto a Subscription Group it will show a list of Active Members (by default) for that selected group.

Using the ‘Filter Members By’ radio buttons you can alternatively filter by other member statuses.

The member subscription details for this group are then listed on the first page (Subscription) of the member’s details record. You can also review a list of ‘All Subscriptions’ for that member, ‘Billing’ history for this group for this member and a cut-down snapshot of the member record in ‘Member Info’.

A fuller review is available on the second page detailing additional member details for those members within the group.

Add Member

To add a new member to the Subscription Group, click New on the top toolbar. This will present you with a cleared Member Subscription Section, although the default Fee Plan will have been brought across, such as payment and renewal information.

Enter the Member Number or click the zoom button next to Member Number to find the member in the database.

You can then either accept the defaults for the member record or change details such as Period Dates and Payment Details.

If you amend the Fee Plan details so that they differ from the Default Fee Plan you can tick ‘Renewal as Default Plan’ to ensure that at renewal time the member is returned to the normal Default Fee Plan.

Save the details of the new member by clicking Ok on the top toolbar.

Edit Member

With a member highlighted in the ‘Members List’ click the Change button on the top toolbar. The member record is then open for changes to be made, including fee plan, renewal details and next fee payment details.

Click Ok from the top toolbar to save changes

Subscription Group Setup (page 3)

To create or change the details of a Subscription Group, including fee plans, you require the ‘Setup’ Page from within Subscription Maintenance. If a Subscription if highlighted on the left hand side the setup page will have the group within the page title (e.g. ‘Common Room Setup’ when ‘Common Room’ is the highlighted subscription group).

 

Add Subscription Group

Within the Setup Page, click the New button on the top toolbar to create a new Subscription Group.

This will provide a cleared Group Details page for you to create the new group.

You should enter the Subscription Name, Charge Code (BCC Code) and at least one Fee Plan.

You can have as many Fee Plans as you wish, although only one can be the default fee plan, highlighted by a star next to its name in the list of plans. To add a new fee plan, click the New Fee button above the Fee Plan details.

When you are happy with the Subscription Group and Fee Plans click Ok on the top toolbar to save.

Academic Calendar Maintenance

Academic Calendar Maintenance is available (subject to permissions) from the ‘Subscriptions’ and ‘Clubs and Societies’ modules, though the ‘Setup’ button on the top toolbar.

Within the popup window you can maintain each academic year, setting start and end dates for each term.

You are able to insert earlier years by clicking Insert when on the first line, or append a new year by moving to the first blank line after the last academic year.

You cannot leave missing years, so for this reason the academic years are populated for you to be immediately before the first year or after the last year in the calendar. You can delete an entry – but only ever the last entry in the list.

Click Ok to save the changes.
