Hi all,
I'm trying to find details on a specific requirement:

- I create a new organization in CiviCRM.
Today the status of this organization is: "unincorporated association"
After 2 years, the status of this organization is raised to "member organization".

- We use different levels of memberships for contacts.
Today someone has level A, after a few months she gets level B.

When I view the record for a contact or organization, is there some kind of visualization of these changes.
for example:
First date of membership: 3/14/2005
Membership level: Level A
Membership changed to level B on 9/25/2007
Membership changed to level C on 4/30/2009
.......

Same for organizations that get a change in status or type of organization.

So, are these changes somehow visible in the records AND reports?

And a related question: this setup, would this be best done with custom fields that allow multiple values, or with tags?

thanks in advance,
Johan.

I'd personally use activities for it.

If you want it to be automatic, I think you could set up hooks to create an activity whenever certain things happen...like changing membership status etc.

I like that idea as I think that's good info to know.
