Where to find it: Person record → Member tab; types in Settings → Member types.
Being a “person” is not the same as being a “member”. The person exists in the database; membership adds type, number, join date and status, and it is what triggers the fee.
How to do it
Define the types in Settings → Member types (athlete, full member, supporter, family…) and optionally the default fee of each.
In the record press “Register as member”, choose type and date; the number is assigned automatically from the configured series.
To end membership use “Leave” with a date; the history is kept and fees stop being generated.
From People you can filter by member status and type and register in bulk.
Keep in mind
If a member type has a default fee and “assign fee on registration” is on, the fee is assigned automatically.
The “pending” status is meant for pre-registrations that have not paid yet.
Frequently asked questions
Can I choose the member number by hand?
Yes, you can type it when registering; the counter continues from the highest used.
What happens to fees when someone leaves?
Fee assignments close on the leaving date; already issued charges stay pending until you cancel or collect them.
