How to Archive a Membership

The quickest way to cancel a Contact’s membership in Member365 is through archival. When you archive a Contact’s membership, any permissions, renewal dates, or benefits associated with that membership are cancelled immediately: the contact is unenrolled right away.

The Contact’s membership data, however, will remain saved on the system. When you cancel a Contact’s membership, you can still unarchive it since the data is always maintained.

1. From the Member365 Administrator Dashboard, type the name or email address of the Contact whose membership you wish to archive in the search bar at the top of the page.

You will notice that this Contact now only has one membership listed on their Contact Record. The membership named ‘TESTING’ has been archived successfully.

8. As mentioned earlier, the membership data will remain saved under this Contact’s ‘Membership (MMS)’ tab.

This membership has been cancelled for the Contact in question, but since the data is saved you can unarchive the membership if you wish.

 

Congratulation, you now know how to archive a Contact’s membership!
