If you have a keypad installed at your facility, you can let Hello Club automatically generate pin numbers for new members that register with your club.

This can be useful to provide members with temporary access while they await their tag, or simply if you wish to use pin numbers for entry rather than tags.

To enable automatic pin number generation for registration:

To disable automatic pin number generation again, simply choose No instead.

If the setting for automatic pin number generation is enabled, you will also be presented with a checkbox to generate a pin number for a member when adding one as an administrator. Simply tick this checkbox to have the system automatically generate a pin number for the new member, which will also be included in their welcome email:

As an administrator, you can view or remove pin numbers as follows:

Both tags and pin numbers will be displayed here and you can edit, remove or disable them as needed.

Unlike the temporary pin numbers generated for bookings, pin numbers generated during registration are permanent, and will remain active until removed or disabled by an administrator.

This can occur if you have enabled new member pre-approval and you modify their automatically generated pin number to have a specific validity duration before approving the member.

To circumvent this problem, first approve the member, then make changes to the auto generated pin number.

The pin number that was generated for the member will be included in their registration confirmation email, which gets sent out when they have completed their registration and, if applicable, after an administrator has approved their registration.

Linked members will receive their pin number after they've gone through the welcome process in their confirmation email as well.

Yes, please follow the instructions for assigning tags and pin numbers to a member.

Any pin number already created will remain active and valid until it expires, even if you disable automatic pin number generation.

Yes, although the pin number that is assigned to a member on registration is considered a permanent tag, and temporary pin numbers for bookings are only generated if a member doesn’t already have a permanent tag in place.

That means any member with a pin number generated on registration, will not get new pin numbers assigned for their bookings, regardless of that setting. However, members without pin number will still be able to receive temporary pin numbers for their bookings.

This can be useful if you only want to generate permanent pin numbers for members, and keep using temporary pin numbers for casuals.
