cb/cbsubs data field definitions

J2.5.16 CB1.9.1 CBS3.0.0

I am constructing some membership management views and reports for my client and need to understand exactly what some of the CB and CBS data fields mean/are used for.

For instance my client wants a report showing new members by month, with their definition of new member equating to a first take up of one of a sub-set of CBS plans but not showing the first take up of one of this sub-set when it replaces another subscription within this sub-set.

In the cbsubs_subscription table there are two fields <replaces_plan> and <replaces_subscription> which look like they would be relevant to the query construction. I could of course just do some trial and error construction but I hope there is some accessible documentation giving field definitions that would assist this and other query constructions.

You can check the CBSubs documentation, but I'm not sure if there's a database description in it or not. What exactly do you need explained further? replaces_subscription is the subscription row ID that the subscription is replacing for example. replaces_plan is the plan_id of the subscription that it replaced.

If I understand correctly you want to query for new subscriptions to a specific plan based off the current month?
