How to set up your Family Group
Each Family Membership plan constitutes a “group” of two people. The registrant is the owner of the group and may invite one person to join their group. Inviting a second person provides them the opportunity to have their own online account so they may register for fee-based conferences and lectures or access member’s only material under their own name.
Log in to your online Membership account and use the top menu link for “My Membership”. On that page under Actions, choose “Create Group”. That will open the Family Group Dashboard.
Enter a group name (whatever you wish – e.g. Smith Family Group or Diggin’ Up Bones, etc).
The Group Description is optional, and may be added later if desired.
You have the option to manually add a family member (group member), or you can scroll down and add a Group Code which your family member can use to self-register. Either way, remember to click on the Update Group button at the bottom.
If you chose to create a group code to allow self-registering, after updating your group you will be provided with a URL for your family member to use to register themselves. That link will take them to the “Family Group Registration” page where they can input their own information.
If you manually add a member, you can choose a password for them, or it will be automatically generated.
If you allow the system to auto-generate a password, it will not be visible to you! The first time your family member logs in, they will need to use the “Lost Password” function to get logged in. It would be simpler to add their password at the time you add them.
