Registration features are packed with options. To configure these options, follow these steps:
Registration lets your team add a new family or person right at the kiosk, so a first-time guest can check in without stopping at a table. These settings control which fields appear and how new records are created. To edit them, go to Admin Tools > Check-in > ti ti-settings Configuration Settings, select your check-in type, choose Edit, then open the Check-in Registration section.
General Registration Settings
These options set defaults for new records and a few general registration behaviors.

Enable Check-in After Registration - When on, the family stays on the check-in path after registering. When off, they return to the search screen, which suits a separate registration kiosk.
