Managing Membership Templates

To rearrange the Templates, click the gripper dots on the left side of a card and drag. This changes their order in Student Sign-Up and in dropdown menus.

Next Steps

To sign a Student up for a Membership, use the Student Sign-Up process, or choose it on the Add New Student form. You can also add Membership Templates to Landing Pages, and select them when creating a new Student.
