Configuring Membership Type Card Number Details
Select either Card Number Validation or Card Number Auto Generation or both. Validation is recommended if card numbers are entered manually and/or downloaded from an external system. Auto Generation is recommended if members are enrolled and managed in OPERA Cloud.
Note:
If selected together, Card Number Validation and Card Number Auto Generation should always have the same configuration.When you Create / Edit New Membership and if both Card Number Validation and Card Number Auto Generation are checked, the number is auto -populated. However, if you remove that number and manually enter a membership number, OPERA Card Validation is evoked.
Note:
Edit is disabled when an alternate configuration exists. You can toggle between Card Number Validation or Card Number Auto Generation options and use the Edit button to edit the existing configuration and the Delete button to remove the existing configuration. The Delete button would be displayed only if configuration exists.Editing Card Number Validation Details
