Adding and Editing Members
Important Concepts: Members, Member Types

The system uses the same mechanism for adding and editing members. When editing a member you are first prompted to select the member to be edited. (This screen is skipped when adding a new member).

Here you can either enter the members number directly, scan their member card or opt to select the member from a filtered list of all members. Having selected a member to edit you are the presented with a new window in which you can edit the member details. The actual tabs displayed and their content depend on which features are licenced and/or enabled.

Member Details

This tab allows you to edit several basic member fields.

On this page you can edit the address information for the member. The fields (address, town, etc) should be filled in as appropriately. If the member is part of a group account you can elect to use the same details as the account by ticking the relevant Same as account check boxes.

Member Flags

This page allows you to tick the appropriate flags for the Member being edited. The flags are the combination of the system defined flags and the user-defined flags. The user-defined flags can be set from the program options. The flags are set or cleared by clicking with the mouse to the left of text. Each click will toggle between being ticked and not-ticked.

The system defined flags have the following meanings:

Flag	Meaning

Banned	This member has been banned. When selected any attempt to log a visit from the Member will result in an error condition.
Suspended	This member has been suspended. When selected any attempt to log a visit from the Member will result in an error condition.
Hide Member in selection lists	If selected, this flag prevents the member card from being listed in the member selection lists. This flag is often used in conjunction with temporary member cards to exclude them from member lists.
