    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 organization,
        and the Pending flag will be set to True in their Member Dialog.
        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 organization.
        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,
        just remove the Pending flag.

You can manually add people as Pending Members,
and you can manually move them from Pending to Members.
This is what you would do for Committees,
as an example.

Step 1
    Create a Tag and add to it those you want to add to the organization as Pending.

Step 2
    Go to the organization `Pending tab` and select `Pending > Add from Tag`,

Step 3
    Select the `Tag` from the dropdown and click the blue `Select Tag` button.

    Then click the blue `Add People` button.
    Stay on the dialog box until you see the message that the process is complete.

Everyone in your Tag will now be added as Members on the Pending tab of the org.
