Assign scannable badges to members

A badge in NestPoint is simply a scannable code linked to a member. You bring the credential — a card, key fob, or wristband you already have — and assign its code here. From then on, one scan finds the member and checks them in.

What a badge is here

There's nothing to design or order. NestPoint stores the code your scanner reads off a card and remembers which member it belongs to. Because the code is just text, your cards can be anything — pre-printed barcodes, numbered fobs, even simple sequential numbers. A member has one active badge at a time, and a given code can only be active for one person, so a scan is never ambiguous.

Assign a badge from a member's profile

This is the everyday way to hand out a card to someone already in your roster.

1. Open the member and go to their Profile tab.

   The Badges panel sits on the profile, showing the active card — or a prompt to assign one if there isn't a badge yet.

2. Choose Assign badge.

   A small dialog opens asking for the badge code.

3. Scan the card, or type its code, and confirm.

   With a scanner, the field fills the moment you scan; by hand, just type what's printed on the card. The badge is now linked to this member.

Assign a card the first time it's scanned

You can also hand cards out at the desk as people arrive. When a scan comes in for a code NestPoint doesn't recognize, the front desk offers to assign it: search for the member, confirm, and the card is theirs from that moment. It's the quickest way to onboard a line of people with a stack of blank cards.

Replace a lost card, or revoke one

Replace

Someone lost their card? Choose Replace, scan or type the new code, and NestPoint revokes the old one automatically. No gap where two cards work.

Revoke

Revoke locks a card out so it won't scan in for that member anymore. The badge stays in the member's history — you're retiring it, not erasing it.
