Notes
•Your changes to the group may not appear in the Group List until it is Refreshed.
•If you're using MemberTies Professional, deleting a group will also remove all associated Income and Expenses, as well as all associations between members and that group. However, deleting the group has no affect on the membership records themselves.
•An Auto-Save preference controls whether the system prompts you to save or cancel changes when changing pages.
Changing the Page Order
If there are pages you never use, or pages that you use more than others, you can control which pages appear on the window. See Changing Page Order for more details.
