Just wanted to offer a comment LOOSELY related to the recent messages about the "member level" computations in Ebase.
I have a client that assigns what they call a "membership level" based on the total of dues, gift membership purchases, and contributions during the current fiscal year. This represents a somewhat different value than what is represented in either of the Ebase "member level" fields (NAMES or PAYMENT), and also differs from the Ebase "donor level" field presented with NAMES. I've now constructed a customized computation patterned after the existing Ebase V1 computations for "donor level" which correctly totals the payments that this client totals and then assigns these "client-specific membership levels". The customized, client-specific values are displayed in new positions on the same layouts as the standard Ebase fields, leaving the standard Ebase fields as is... I wanted to make it known that this can and has been done, just in case some other group has similar needs which aren't covered by the standard Ebase "donor level" and "member level" fields... ************************************************************** Larry F.
