Membership Market Groups

Market Groups are used within the setup of rules for Membership Types. Within a rule, you may specify if points are calculated by a market group. You can identify which market codes belong within the market group so that OPERA calculates points based on the codes entered here. For example, you may create a market group called Corporate. Within this group, you can link the corporate market codes. When this market group is applied to a rule, points are calculated if the guest's market code was included in this group. If you are planning to apply a market group to your membership rules, you must first configure market groups through Configuration>Profile>Memberships>Market Groups to make them available to the membership type.
