Your member card

Your Forum card, on your phone.

The card is in the member’s phone, under My card, after sign-in.

What a scan shows

Exactly what leaves the phone.

Choose who is scanning. The card below is an example, not a real member.

Who is scanning?

What anyone sees

Valid member Firstname L.

A first name and initial. Nothing else, so no ID number, no address and no phone number.

What the committee sees at the door

Valid member Firstname L.

Checked in 18:42 (example)

A signed-in committee member or staff scanning at an event sees the check-in view. The scan is logged as the member’s check-in.

Four things to know

Plain answers.

Always with you

My card sits in the member’s app, on their phone. There is no plastic card and no app store.

A scan shows only what it should

Anyone who scans the QR sees “valid member” and a first name and initial. They see nothing else, so no ID number, no address and no phone number.

Check-in at events

At the door, the committee scans the member’s phone. The scan is logged as the member’s check-in.

If a phone is lost

The committee re-issues the card and the old QR stops working.

A volunteer scans a member's phone at an event check-in table

At the door

Check-in without a list.

A volunteer scans the member’s phone at the registration table. The member is checked in, and the Forum keeps a record of who came.

Staff cards work the same way. A member’s staff can carry a staff card on their phone, scanned just like a member card, so the people from your business are recognised at events.

The card is created when a member first opens My card.
