4.5 Create Member Types

Once you have created all needed program structures, you need to create your member types. This allows you to offer different levels of membership, and easily group members. Each member type can have a different compensation plan, self replicating web site, Member's Only Area, be charged different membership fees, and so on. To start, go to the Setup->Member Settings menu of the Admin Control Panel. The second section on the web page looks like this:

Complete this section with the following values:

Field	Description
Name	This can be anything you wish, and is used to identify the member type throughout the software.
Member Status	The status the member will begin with, when they first join. If you are charging a membership fee for this type, you should select Pending.
Web Site	The self replicating web site used for the member type. When someone visits a member's self replicating web site, they will see this web site.
Member's Only Area	The Member's Only Area used for the member type. When a member logs into the password protected Member's Only Area, they will see this site.
Program Structures	Check all program structures you would like the member added to when they join. When a new member first joins, the software will add them to all checked program structures, under their sponsor. Please note, this field only applies to when a new member joins, and nothing else.
Default Program Structure	The main program structure of the member type, that is being focused on, and filled. When a new member joins, they will be placed in the sponsor's default program structure, regardless of what member type the new member is.
E-Mail Subscription	The default e-mail subscription for the member type. When a new member joins, their e-mail subscription will start with this, but can be changed at any time through the Member's Only Area.

Continue creating member types using the above method, until you have created all needed member types for your business.
