You can manage members in a specific unit / club and also in summary at the organization level.

## Members of the whole organization

In **Organization > Members** you see members from all subordinate units in one place and can do basic work with them.

For advanced tools, such as Smart table and unit bulk operations, go to a specific unit / club.

## Members of a specific unit / club

In a specific unit you can create and edit members, assign them to patrols / groups, and use other tools for working with the membership base.

## Creating a member

To create a new member, go to: *Unit / club > **Members > Overview***

Create a member by clicking the plus (+) at the end of the member list in the unit / patrol. Then fill in the first name, last name, and nickname and click create. To create a new member in a patrol, use the same process.

> **Tip:** When creating a new member, you only need to fill in one of the three fields (first name, last name, or nickname).

### Bulk member creation

![‘Vytvořit více členů’ dialog with a table for entering names and contacts and a ‘Vytvořit (4)’ button](../../../assets/help/uploads/member-records/image-1024x664.png)

*Unit > Members > Overview > Create multiple members*

Tip
You don't need to specify the exact number of members you want to create; empty rows will be skipped.

Heads up!
For a member to be created, you must have a first name, last name, or nickname filled in; otherwise the member will not be created.

Other ways to add members:

- [bulk import](https://www.levitio.cz/en/help/member-records) in the member overview,
- [SkautIS synchronization](https://www.levitio.cz/en/help/skautis-sync),
- [moving between patrols](https://www.levitio.cz/en/help/moving-between-patrols),
- copying a member to another unit.

## The member no longer attends

If a member has left the unit, do not automatically delete them. Deleting can break the link to historical data, such as attendance.

Use the existing function to move them among former / hidden members, so they do not get in the way in the active list, but history stays preserved.

## Hiding a member

To hide a member, go to: *Unit > **Members > Overview***

then click the three dots next to the member (**⋮**), click "Hide", and confirm hiding.

*Unit > Members > Overview >* Hide confirmation

### Deleting a member

Use deletion only when you are sure you really no longer need the record. Click the three dots next to the member (**⋮**), choose "Delete", and confirm deletion.

![Unit member list with an open member menu: Podrobnosti, Přesunout do, Skrýt and Smazat](../../../assets/help/uploads/member-records/image-1-1024x812.png)

*Unit > Members > Overview*

![Confirmation ‘Chcete nenávratně smazat tohoto člena?’ with a warning and an arrow pointing to the confirm checkmark](../../../assets/help/uploads/member-records/image-2-1024x628.png)

*Unit > Members > Overview >* Delete confirmation

Heads up!
We do not recommend deleting members, because they may remain marked as "unknown" in event attendance and it will no longer be possible to tell who they were.
