FAQs
How do I filter out active members for a specific membership level?
To filter active members by membership level, use Data Studio in Almabase.
First, add a filter for "Membership Name" and select the desired membership(s).
Then, add another filter for "Membership Expiry Date".
Choose "Custom Dates": Set the start date as today and the end date as a far future date.
This process will display the active members for the selected membership level.
How can I differentiate a membership transaction from a gift transaction on Almabase?
Currently, membership information from Almabase cannot be synced with Raiser's Edge.
Therefore, all transactions in batches are considered donations from the giving pages.
This means that specific membership transactions can't be differentiated within Almabase and will be grouped with gift transactions.
