Add Cross-Referenced Accounts
This functionality allows for the inclusion of additional members who do not incur individual charges by assigning them to a $0 member plan. These secondary members are then linked to a designated primary contact, who possesses a full-priced membership.
To cross-reference a non-paying member to a paying member:
1. Edit the non-paying member's information.
2. Select the primary contact from the cross-reference field.
Think of cross-referencing as a parent-child relationship, where the non-paying member (child) is cross-referenced to the paying member (parent).
Getting Cross-Referencing Right
If you accidentally make a mistake in cross-referencing, it can be challenging to understand the relationship between members.
To make it easier to analyze:
- Use the info page in the member database admin. It will show you which record a particular member is cross-referenced to (parent) and any records that may be cross-referenced to it (children). You can navigate to view those records as well.
- Utilize the cross-reference report in quick reports. This report provides a comprehensive overview of parent and child records within your organization, making it easy to identify relationships at a glance.
