It feels good to cross something off a checklist. It is a clear indicator of completing a task and making forward progress. Each completed task brings you closer to your ultimate goal. This is where the Membership Success Checklist within WishList Member can help.
WishList Member includes a checklist that has been developed to assist with building and maintaining your membership site. You have the option of using this checklist to complete any of the displayed tasks. All the details are included below (including a Video Tutorial).
The Membership Success Checklist appears on the top right of the WishList Member Dashboard and displays what you have already configured and provides information on potential next steps you can take.

Checklist Items
The items appearing on the checklist are based on different options or actions that can be configured on the site. Items appear in one of three categories depending on their status.
For example, the “Activate License Key” item will appear in the Finished section if you have activated WishList Member with your license key. If you haven't activated your license key yet, that item will appear in the Start Here category.
There are three categories for the items.
- Start Here. These items have not been finished. These items can be checked off when finished or skipped if you want to do them later or if they aren't necessary for your particular site.
- Finished. These items have been finished. They have either been manually checked off or automatically checked off when the task was finished on the site.
- Skipped. These items have been skipped. They have been manually skipped and placed on the bottom of the checklist. Skipped items can also be restored. Restoring an item will place it back into it's previous category.
