Backoffice subscription setup

Main setup

To setup subscription in back office: Admin → Subscription Types 

Name: name of subscription 

Description: description - this is customer facing 

State: state 

Special Baskets for Instalments:  This is will holds what instalment is special - for example 1 means that first special instalment. Null if no special instalment is required.

Attributes 

Subscriptions attributes are setup here atm only one is required - Renewal Contact Method - to find others please run this SQL (select * from attribute where entity_id = (select id from entity where name = 'subscription');

Configuration

This where there is loads of content setup specific for subscription such as: logo, case insert, event_day_of_week, offer_in_myaccount etc - it is possible to crate new subscription configuration attributes.  (See also /wiki/spaces/ITWEB/pages/547653734).

Despite having GUI setup in back office we have to do some setup directly in the database - subscription table: customer_attribute_prefix where usually we are putting name of the subscription.
