SMS Code Creation

Hello Ethos Experts,

Is it problematic to make an SMS code the same for each session of an RSS series? For example, if there are 26 sessions per series and each session has the same code (ex: 123456) will the system mark attendance per individual session or will it not know which session the code is being utilized for? If any of you have run into this issue, how do you resolve this? Thank you!

As far as I know you will not be able to reuse a code, and yes, that would be problematic, as the code is what connects someone to a specific course or session.

We encourage people to use the auto-generated codes to avoid any complications.

Agreed - a unique code to go to a unique node.

Thank you! I appreciate your responses. I had a feeling this may be the case, however, wanted to double and triple check.
