To create memberships with benefits that apply to multiple event buckets, use Global Membership Rules to extend their reach.
1. After creating a membership and setting up its membership rules, open the membership rules tab and scroll down to the rule that you wish to make apply to other event buckets.
2. Select the box next to "Make this membership rule global (apply to other event buckets)."
3. In the "Target event buckets" dropdown, select the event bucket(s) in which you wish this membership bucket to work. Remember to include the event bucket that the membership resides in if the rule is to apply to that event bucket as well.
NOTE: A Global Membership Rule will not apply to the event bucket in which it was created unless that event bucket is selected in the "Target event buckets" dropdown list.
4. Click Save and select the Global Rule checkbox on all other membership Rules in this membership bucket if you wish for each membership rule to apply to other event buckets.
When would I use Global membership Rules?
When establishing a membership program, it is suggested that your memberships live in an evergreen event bucket - either the event bucket that your year-round programing lives in or a separate event bucket just for memberships.
If your memberships reside in either your year-round event bucket or an event bucket strictly for memberships, then you would use global rules to have the memberships apply to other event buckets like a festival or a screening series (if it is hosted in it’s own event bucket).
Example: Cinema Membership is a membership that resides in the Eventive Sample Cinema event bucket - this event bucket is for a small arthouse cinema that runs year-round programming. The Cinema Membership also provides a 25% discount to the Eventive Genre Film Festival for passes, and standalone tickets. The Eventive Genre Film Festival is a 7 day festival which is built in a separate event bucket. Eventive Sample Cinema would add two global rules to the Cinema Membership that target the Eventive Genre Film Festival - one for tickets and the other for passes. In this case, this discount only applies to the festival event bucket, so the global rules will not also target Eventive Sample Cinema.
