Help Topic: Making Awards to your members

Many organisations have programmes where members are given awards for successfully completing achievements and challenges. Members-Systems provides a way of securely storing the records of these awards.

Awards may already be set up for you as a result of your organisation type, or they may be maintained for your organisation alone. For details of how to maintain your organisation's awards (for administrators) see Customising Awards for your organisation.

To make an award to one or more of your members, select one or members from the View Members screen (see Finding Members) and then select 'Make New Award' from the action dropdown box.

Alternatively, from the Contact screen when viewing a member's details (see Viewing Member's Details) select 'Make New Award' from the action dropdown box to make a new award to just this particular member.

From the confirmation screen, select the award which you would like to make by selecting the appropriate checkbox. You can select more than one award if you are making several awards. You can also select the date for which you are making the award.

The awards that are initially displayed may not be the only awards available for a member. The awards shown initially are those which are appropriate tot he group(s) to which the member(s) are currently joined. There may be other awards that can be made, perhaps from past groups, which can be made visible by pressing the 'Show All Awards' button.

Some awards may be marked as being able to be awarded once only, and you will be reminded of this before you complete the award.

Some awards, however, can be awarded more than once. Many of these may have an associated value - the values may be cumulative over all such awards, such as weekly golf scores, or some may be just associated with this particular time that the award is made. Your organisation administrator creates the award with the correct values for your organisation.

You can view the awards for a member from the Awards tab in the Members Details screen (see Viewing Member's Details). From this screen you can add further awards (via the same confirmation screen), remove awards, or change the date that an award was made.

Details of awards are also shown on the Full Members Details printed report.
