What does it mean when a Member account is either Active, Inactive or Pending?

The Member Status field is significant as it does determine how the Member is allowed to be processed throughout the system. The status of Inactive allows you to retain the Member on the system but restrict that Member from being automatically processed in a number of system functions.

If a Member is set to Inactive the Member will be:

• Optionally searched for using the Advanced Member Search feature, although they are included by default in the search results
• By default excluded from Mail Generation
• Excluded from the Renewals and Subscription processing
• Restricted from being able to register for events other than for Public Registration Types
• Optionally excluded from CSV and Report Master Reports.

If a Member is set to Pending the following will apply:

• Pending Status is designed to be used for new member applications where you need to go through a process to assess the application before confirming their acceptance as a member. 
• Restrictions are the same as Inactive

A Member will automatically be set to Inactive if they are Archived. The Member Active/Inactive/Pending status can be viewed next to the Members name at the top of the screen.
