Adding contacts WITHOUT email
D

We are trying to enter contacts for a child and the email address has not been provided as the parent just wants the person to use their mobile number and has also said that if she gets the email address from the family members they only have the one email but there are two contacts that she is giving permission to from this household. How does this work? Why cant contacts be entered without email address?
With email addresses being spammed and security breeches being advertised every week on the news, contacts are reluctant to give over this information when they don’t understand the need.
I dont understand either, should be able to use their mobile number and pin to sign children in and out.

A work around for this is to use something like tba@gmail.com - the system accepts this as an email address. I have done this a few times just to get profile set up.

I agree with this - I have such a hard time helping family member who added their parents or friends to set up the account so that they are able to sign in/out, it is not a straight forward procedure, they have to create an account to start with and password, but they are not able to download the app and scan the bar code to sign in/out, they don't even have a pin to use, so I have to ask them to click forgot password, then they receive another link to set up a PIN with their mobile number, sometimes it works and sometime not, it is very time consuming, why can't we have the system like qikkids, that is easily set up with no drama, this really need to be looked at

I agree with this - I don't see the need for contacts to have emails - parents yes but not contacts.

An email is required to set up the contact account- this email also helps should the contact member forget their pin- it can issue the reset access pin email
