Hi,
What does the ‘Is proportional’ field mean on the rule ‘Limits how soon a membership period of a given category can start after the previous period’. Can someone explain and provide an example please?
Thanks,
Tom

Meaning of Is Proportional Field
+24Best answer by Paul Smith
Hi Tom,
It means that the non membership period is proportional to the applicable period. For example, suppose you set the minimum applicable period to 2 days and the minimum non membership period to 1 day. Then the proportion is 2:1, so each period of membership must be followed by a period of non-membership of at least half the membership time. So if the resource is planned into the rota within the membership category for 2 weeks then the rule would mean they would need 1 week of non-membership.
