Configure your app's settings, messages, notifications, screen labels, and identifiers in one place – the App Settings window.
On the App Settings window, you can decide who can register for the app – whether it's open for everyone or exclusively for your current members. You can also customise labels and help text to guide your users through the registration and product purchase workflows.
Update the registration messages displayed to your members, keeping them informed about the status of their registration attempts. Whether their registration was successful or not, you can specify the reasons behind it so they can get help if needed.
By configuring Identifiers, you can provide digital ID cards within the app, facilitating quick and effortless scanning. You can even let your users upload a photo of themselves via your MSL website to add to their digital student ID.
