QCMM Administrator Tabs Explained
QCMM 2.0.21 uses one Administrator workspace with 13 top-level tabs. Knowing which tab owns a workflow is the fastest way to avoid changing the wrong layer while troubleshooting.
The current tabs are About, Support, Status, Settings, Plans, Scheduling, Promotions, Subscriptions, Member Area, Email, Billing, Reports, and CSS.
Administrator Tab Map
| Tab | Primary purpose |
|---|---|
| About | Product overview and high-level feature orientation. |
| Support | Official support/account/product resources plus a safe environment snapshot. |
| Status | Entitlement, installation version, update state, Scheduled Task integrity, lifecycle and Meeting Room diagnostics. |
| Settings | Authorized-Domain entitlement actions, core currency/payment settings, PayPal, frontend appearance, labels, and other global controls. |
| Plans | Plan Groups, Plans, ordering/publication, Plan editor, features, Custom Fields, resources, scheduling settings, and change paths. |
| Scheduling | Max Host, availability, Meeting Time, booking, capacity, and scheduling administration. |
| Promotions | Max scheduled Promotions and Coupons. |
| Subscriptions | Membership records, status/lifecycle management, and subscription-specific information. |
| Member Area | Configure the customer Dashboard tabs and member-facing organization. |
| Core email templates plus higher-tier HTML and Max Custom template capabilities. | |
| Billing | Membership billing, standalone invoices, payments, credits, refunds, and numbering/lifecycle controls. |
| Reports | Max reporting and CSV exports. |
| CSS | Max frontend Custom CSS storage and enable/disable controls. |
A Useful Navigation Rule
Start with Status when behavior looks globally wrong, Plans when one membership offer is wrong, Subscriptions when one member record is wrong, Billing when money/invoice state is wrong, and Scheduling when a Host or Meeting Time is wrong. This follows QCMM ownership boundaries.
Tabs Can Show Preserved Premium Configuration
A lower Effective tier does not mean saved Max configuration is erased. QCMM can show preserved state while blocking creation, editing, or runtime use that requires Max. Read the entitlement reminder instead of interpreting retained data as proof the feature is currently licensed.
Legacy Tab Names in Old Links
The 2.0.21 backend maps several historical tab names to the current labels—for example plans → Plans, subscriptions → Subscriptions, billing/invoices → Billing, help/docs → Support, and css/custom_css → CSS. Use the current visible labels in procedures and bookmarks.
Before Making a Change
- Confirm the active tab matches the record or feature you intend to change.
- Check Status first if a feature is unexpectedly locked or missing.
- Use a narrow test record where possible instead of changing several tabs at once.
- After saving, verify the real frontend/member/Host result; an Administrator success message is not the same as end-to-end verification.
