Auxiliary Units

You can define units that can be assigned to members, e.g. lockers, ski racks, linen bags etc.

Find it via admin menu → site config → Auxiliary Units.

You can choose a title that is shown to members as a title, e.g. “Lockers” that suits your use of this feature via Configuration Item AUXILIARY_TITLE.

First step is to define how you classify your Auxiliary Units, e.g. “large lockers”, “small lockers”, “linen bags”, these are called Auxiliary Types. You can then create numbered or named units that belong to these Types and optionally assign a unit to a member. Members can have zero, one or more units assigned to them. Multi-lodge clubs must define Auxiliary Types for each lodge, even if they are identical. Each Auxiliary Type can have a cost, which is used when you create invoices. Invoices are created on the same page as Annual Subscription invoices: Subscription Invoices.

You can upload Auxiliary Unit data from a spreadsheet (CSV format), see the button for this on the above Aux Unit page. Multi-lodge clubs need a column headed “lodge” (without the quotes), and the codes to use are shown on the upload page. Other column headings (for all clubs) are:

• name (name of unit, e.g. a locker number)
• membernumber (member number associated, can be blank)
• type (use the same text that you entered for the Auxiliary Type name)
• custom (any text, for example the cubic volume of the locker, for invoicing purposes, or the colour, for identification purposes etc)

We can provide a plugin to calculate annual fees based on the custom field, otherwise the invoice will reflect the price entered for the Auxiliary Type.
