What do the membership settings on the club configuration page do?

On the club configuration page, the following membership settings are available:

How many days before the expiration date should a member be warned via E-mail of an expiring membership? HamClubOnline will send a single e-mail this number of days prior to the member’s expiration date. If set to zero, no e-mail will be sent to the member. The e-mail can be viewed/changed on the e-mail configuration page. The default is 0.

E-mail member when their membership has expired? HamClubOnline will send a single e-mail to the member when their membership with the club has expired. The member will be set to “Expiring Soon” roster status regardless if they are e-mailed or not. The e-mail can be viewed/changed on the e-mail configuration page. The default is No.

How many days should a member remain on the roster without a valid membership (i.e. expired) before being removed? HamClubOnline will automatically remove (i.e. set the member to “Expired” roster status) this number of days after the member’s expiration date.  If set to zero, the member will remain on the roster in “Expiring Soon” roster status indefinitely until manually removed. The system will not remove a member that does not have an expiration date (i.e. never had a membership.) The default is 0.

E-mail member when they have been automatically removed from the roster? HamClubOnline will send a single e-mail to the member when they have been removed from the roster, if this option is set to Yes. The e-mail can be viewed/changed on the e-mail configuration page. The default is No.

How many days does someone need to be a member before they can vote in elections? HamClubOnline will not send an election ballot to a voting member (set in roster ranks) that has a start date smaller than this number of days prior to the scheduled end date of the election.  If set to zero, the system will send an election ballot to all voting members. The default is 0.

How many days does someone need to be a member to be eligible to run for an election? HamClubOnline will display members on the election ballot that have a start date this number of days smaller than this number of days prior to the scheduled end date of the election.  If set to zero, all members are eligible to run for an election. The default is 0.

Club fiscal year starting month? This would be calendar month for when your club starts its fiscal year. For most clubs, this will probably be January. The default is January.
