If you recruit members through a member group (e.g. employees of a company), the membership type(s) for these can be marked as such. This then lets you:
relate the group member to the group of which they are part, by setting the membership number of the group within the member record
locate all the members who are in that particular group (according to that field). This is done using the existing cross-reference search in Search More – Miscellaneous Queries (which previously only applied to cross-referenced custom fields).
Fig 1: When membership type “Group Associate” (for example) is marked as “member of a group” in its definition, as Fig 3, then you are offered the “From group” field to indicate which member group they are from. As with other cross-reference fields, you can set this from a saved search and jump to it using the links alongside. Fig 2: Conversely, you can find all the group members of a group from Miscellaneous QueriesFig 3: Tick “member of a group” in the membership type definition to enable this. (The member group should be ticked “for a group, organisation, etc.” as before).
