# Configure matching criteria for member lists

Configuration -> Basic Settings -> Member lists

Before you can use a member price group for booking in the Converia registration in the frontend, the defined matching criteria must be filled in correctly.

### Possible fields and rules

| **fieldname** | **\<date>** | **\<exact>** | **\<substring>** |
| ------------- | ----------- | ------------ | ---------------- |
| lastname      |             | ✓            | ✓                |
| firstname     |             | ✓            | ✓                |
| email         |             | ✓            | ✓                |
| memberId      |             | ✓            | ✓                |
| company       |             | ✓            | ✓                |
| zip           |             | ✓            | ✓                |
| street        |             | ✓            | ✓                |
| city          |             | ✓            | ✓                |
| dateOfBirth   | ✓           |              |                  |

### Example

The following example checks three criteria:

* the membership number for exact match
* the birth date in date format
* the postal code for match of the first three digits

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
   <rule>
      <exact>
        <fieldname>memberId</fieldname>
      </exact>
   </rule>
   <rule>
     <date>
        <fieldname>dateOfBirth</fieldname>
     </date>
    </rule>
    <rule>
      <substring>
        <fieldname>zip</fieldname>
        <start>0</start>
        <length>3</length>
      </substring>
   </rule>
</root>
```

### Notes

* The search types *exact* and *substring* are not case-sensitive.
* An input field is automatically generated in the price group selection in the frontend for each rule defined here.<br>
