Change word Members to Membership
June 05, 2010, 01:52:18 am
I think that using the term 'Members' in eg 'Find Members' and 'Delete Members' is causing some confusion for users. I think that if we could consistently use the term 'Memberships' it would avoid the incorrect inference. When we 'delete' we are not deleting a Member, but a Membership etc.
Not sure if you see the point I am making or if it is an easy tweak but wanted to mention it.

Lot of people found "Membership" more confusing hence it was changed to 'Member' during last booksprint. You can make this to your install using custom templates.

Really? I'm surprised that came out of the sprint.
I haven't seen any clients get confused, but I tend to agree with Pete that the correct term is membership. We're dealing with the related record, not the contact record.
