Hello and thank you for taking the time to evaluate CROSSMEMBER.
To answer your questions:
Joining Date – Yes, the joining date is saved to the database. On the download that would be used to create your membership cards it is not currently included – but it would be very simple to add it in.
Renewal Reminders – This is part of the configuration of CROSSMEMBER for your club, so you can choose when they start and how often they are sent. The parameters are:
How many months before expiry should reminders be sent.
How many days between reminders.
With these two parameters you can (say) configure CROSSMEMBER to send out automated emails from 2 months before expiry, every 10 days until they either lapse or renew their membership. Yes the date that the last reminder was sent is saved.
I hope that answers your question, do let me know if you have anymore.
Cheers,
Brian.
