Automatic Group Assignment
|
Accounts can now have their Membership Group or Billing Schedule value set automatically based on a price or product in their order.
For example:
You can create a product called "Silver Membership" and a customer who purchases this product can be assigned a membership group value to match the product.
You can create a price called "Monthly Billing" and a customer selecting that price can be assigned a billing schedule value to match the price.
To use this feature, update the advanced settings for the price or product to specify the new billing schedule or membership group value.
You can also indicate if discounts on the order should use the previous or new value of the billing schedule or membership group.

Age-based pricing rules
|
You can now define age-based rules for your registration prices in Setup > Settings > Online Registration Pricing. This allows you to stipulate that a given price can only be used by students in a particular age range. The most common application for this option is to limit special prices to infants up to a certain age. This new setting is in the "Advanced" section of the page you see when editing a price.
Because this feature allows you to create prices that some students cannot use, it is important that you have unrestricted prices and/or prices that are valid for all expected ages. Main Street Sites does not attempt to prove that there will always be a useable price for students based on their age.
For example, if you had just one price restricted to students under 1 year and another price restricted to students 2 years and older, students between 1 and 2 years old would not be able to select a valid price and complete a registration.

Attendance data for make-ups, demos and drop-ins is also included.
You can select students in the list and send them the "Student Absence" notification. This notification has no default content. You'll need to enter content for this notification at Communications > Settings > Notification Templates before sending it.
Note: you may wish to use these tokens when creating your email:
%student_first_name%
%student_last_name%
%contact_first_name%
