Membership Classes - ORS/OCIS

Membership classes are used to group membership programs into convenient categories.  For example, separate membership classes can be configured for airline frequent flyer programs, for property guest loyalty programs, or for other kinds of membership programs. Before  membership program types can be created (Configuration> Profiles> Memberships>Types) you must define the membership classes that the programs belongs to.

Select Configuration>Profile>Memberships>Classes to display the membership classes that have been configured and to configure new membership classes.

The Membership Class screen shows the following information.

Class. The membership class code. Each class must have a unique code. The class appears on the member's Profile Membership screen.

Description. A short description of the membership class code. This description displays when searching for codes in the Membership list of values.

Loyalty. A Y in this column indicates that the class is for loyalty programs. Only one class may be configured for loyalty programs.

Freq. Flyer. A Y in this column indicates that the class is for frequent flyer programs. Only one class may be configured for frequent flyer programs.

Seq. A sequence number that determines the position of this class in lists of values. To change the sequence position of a class, highlight the entry and select the up or down arrows, or type a new number in the Seq. column.

Membership classes cannot be deleted if membership types are linked to them.
