Hi,
I'm trying to find out if its possible to have lifetime memberships in Tessitura (i.e. Memberships that don't have an expiry date). I have tried setting this up in Tessitura and it always throughs a tantrum. The only way I've found of doing it is by manually deleting the expiry date in the customer history tab. I suppose I could write a stored proc that deletes this automatically every night for a specific membership organisation, but I was wondering if there is another way of doing this?
Also, this lifetime membership scheme is only going to be open to a fixed number of people, so I was wondering if its possible to make it inactive once a certain number have been sold. I don't want to rely on agents having to keep count as several agents could be working on this at once. Unfortunately going over by any amount is not an option as we wouldn't have the merchandise to provide for this particular membership scheme, so a nightly procedure for this probably isn't a brilliant option.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
As to the limited number of lifetime memberships: that's a procedural issue, not a technical one: if two solicitors are simultaneously talking to potential members while only one membership remains then the first to file the contribution will get it and the second will be in the embarrassing position of walking back the offer. The solicitors will have to have their own controls (i.e. reserving a set of memberships for each solicitor and only coming back for more when those have been fullfilled).
