Pending Members

Pending Members

This is a flag that is used during the Promotion Process so that students can be moved to another class and stay in a pending state until just before Promotion Sunday. When a student is Pending, their name will display on the Pending tab of the Involvement, and their Pending flag is set to True. A Pending Member will not display on a roll-sheet and will not display for Check-In.

Other use: If you want committee members to be in a ‘pending’ state until a specific date you can add them to the Pending tab of the Involvement. This will give them a normal Member Type of Member, but will set the Pending flag to True. When it is time for them to become active members, remove the Pending flag.
