or type “/MemberList” into your browser’s address bar e.g.
Click “Add new” to create a new member list.
Details: Basic information about the member list.
Name: The name for this Member List.
Description: A short description about of the purpose of this Member List.
Owner: This will usually be the person who created the Member List.
Categories: Member Lists can be sorted into categories (see the section below). If you want to select a category for this Member List, do so here.
Entitlements: This defines who can use and edit this member list. It is usually best to leave these as the site-wide default.
Design: The Member List is created by running a search on the database or members. The search will be run each time the Member List is used, so it will always be up-to-date. Enter elements to build up the criteria for the Member List search.
Add Criteria: Add another criterion to the Member List.
Add Grouped-criteria: Add grouped criteria to the criteria above. Such as a member that is either male OR aged over 18. For readers with an understanding of logic, these clauses would be contained within brackets e.g. Is Current Member AND (Gender is Male OR Age is over 18)
And/Or: Criteria can be used in an “And” or “Or” Capacity. If “And” is chosen, all criteria must be true for a user to be added to the list, if “Or” is chosen, only 1 criterion must be true. Read more about the And/Or operators in the “Advanced Member Lists” section at the bottom of the article.
Delete criterion: Removes this criterion from the Member List.
Family Extension: If this option is selected, results will be extended to include Parents, and/or Family Group Members of the members returned by the search.
Test Run: This can be used to test the Member List before saving and using it. Just click the “Run” button and you will be shown a list of all matching users along with the count.
Save: Save the Member List.

c. Juniors: This is an example of a sub categorysubcategory. This is a category within another category where Member Lists can be added. For example, if you had a category for current members , and former members, you may want a sub category subcategory for junior members in both of these categories. These types of categories also make the organisation of Member Lists very easy.
d. Add Category: Click this button to add a new top-level or sub categorysubcategory.
...
Parent Category: If the new category sits within a an existing category, select the existing category as the Parent; otherwise leave it as “(top-level)”.

...

...
A List showing all members in the “Pending Member Action” section of Manage Subscriptions.
...
You can use “is between” where you will define 2 dates to look between, if either are left blank then this will be open-ended. In this example, the Member List will look for anyone who registered on or after 01/01/2020.
...
You can use “is relatively in between” to search a certain number of days from the current date (whenever the Member List is run) as opposed to between fixed dates. Negative numbers can be used to look in at the past, and positive numbers will look at the future from today. In this example, the Member List will look for anyone who registered in the the last 7 days.
...
You can use “not specified” to look for users where the date criteria is blank, this is most likely used to search for missing Dates of Birth within your members, such as the example below.
...
You can use “in week” to look for users where the date fell during the current week, last week, or the following week.
...
You can use “in month” to look for users where the date fell during the current month, last month, or the following month.
...
You can use “in quarter” to look for users where the date fell during the current quarter (3 months), last quarter, or the following quarter.
...
Ages Criteria
When using “Age” as a criterion in Member List searches, there are many options of how to calculate the age of each user. Each option sets a different date to use as the point from which the user’s age is calculated.
...
Tips and Tricks
Member Lists are self-updating meaning they will search the criteria at the time the Member List is run/used. For example, if searching for all members aged under 10, it will search on the day that the “Run” button is clicked. This could mean that the output could be different from one day to the next. To utilise this ability as much as possible, it is best to avoid hard-coding dates into the criteria where possible. Sometimes dates are necessary if you are looking at criteria within a date range, but using other criteria is advised.
The important thing to remember with Member Lists is that there can be many different ways of achieving the same results. This means that it is often worth having a try, and using the test run, and maybe even filtering the member directory to try and get the result you are looking for.
