How to edit, add or remove family members
Editing a family
If a user can’t add a family member as the family group is full. This means that they have either registered all of the members that they have paid for, or they have reached the maximum number of members allowed in a family.
To check, in the admin app open the primary family member profile and click on the family tab to check the family size and number of registered members.
In the above example, the user has paid for and registered 4 out of 4 members. They will need to increase the size of their family size using the mobile app steps below.
The Family Membership Package has been set up to allow a maximum of 10 total family members. The user cannot exceed the maximum amount of family members. This would require a different Membership Package that has been set up to allow for more family members.
Note: It is up to your organisation how many 'base' and maximum adults and children you decide to allow in one family group when you set up the membership package.

- Select the Primary family member to open their profile
- Click on the Family tab
- If there are no empty slots on the left hand side, then more space is required. Click on 'Add Adult or Add Child'
- If these buttons are greyed out, then the family membership has reached max capacity.
