Creating stickers in Minga allows easy assignment of rules and permissions, appearing at the top of school IDs. They can be made from pre-designed or custom options, offering flexibility to identify user groups. For example, schools use them for lunch passes or campus exit permissions.
The process of creating and managing digital ID stickers for users in Minga involves just a few steps, which enable schools to customize student IDs for special access and benefits.

Pro Tip: We have created a Canva template you can create a duplicate of here. This template is view-only. If you have a Canva account, you can copy a version to your account. Otherwise, you can download a copy of each sticker in .png format to edit and personalize in an image editor. Canva also has many stickers in its paid library of designs.
Setting Priority Levels
The priority level determines the order of placement of the sticker on an ID.
0 is the highest priority, followed by 1, and so on.

A maximum of six stickers will show on the top of a Digital ID. When the device showing the ID is unable to display additional stickers, an arrow will appear, allowing a scroll to view all stickers.
Generally, they should be ordered from most important to least important to Administrators, Teachers, and Staff who are monitoring students.
Adding Stickers to Digital IDs
Stickers can be added to one or many IDs easily. Using the built-in filters, you can find and identify one or groups of users to apply a sticker to.

Pro Tip: You can also filter your audience and choose based on Group, Grade, or Role within your Minga, which makes it easy to select multiple recipients of a sticker. For example, all students in a particular grade.
Adding a No Access Sticker
The "No Access" Sticker is one added to every Minga by default, and cannot be edited or deleted (though the graphic can be customized).
The "No Access" Sticker is great for students whose privileges are limited due to disciplinary actions.

Step-by-step Guide to Adding the No Access Sticker
From the ID Menu, navigate to the Stickers tab
On the No Access List sticker, click Add or List Icon
You can search by name, ID number, or email, scan an ID with a camera or barcode scanner, or upload a list for bulk adding the No Access Sticker
Once you're done, click Add.
Delete or Deactivate Stickers
Should you ever no longer need a sticker, you have two options. You can either deactivate a sticker from use for an indefinite amount of time (and reactivate when needed again) or you can permanently delete it. A great example of deactivation in practice is an event volunteer sticker for student helpers, only relevant during a certain event, but will likely be used again.

FAQs
FAQs
How do I remove a sticker from a student's ID?
You can remove a sticker by navigating to the Stickers tab, clicking the List icon next to the sticker, and selecting the student you wish to remove from that permission group.
What is the difference between deactivating and deleting a sticker?
You can deactivate a sticker by clicking the Active toggle to hide it temporarily (great for recurring seasonal events), whereas clicking the Delete icon within the Edit menu will permanently remove the sticker and its data from your school.
Can I use my own designs for stickers?
You can create custom stickers by uploading your own images. We recommend using a transparent background so the sticker looks professional on the Digital ID.
Why are some stickers not showing up on the student's ID?
A student's ID will show the top six stickers based on the priority numbers you assigned. If a sticker isn't visible, you may need to adjust its Priority value to a lower number (like 0 or 1) to move it to the front.
