Quickly add new people and families to or edit people and families in MinistryPlatform using the Check-In Kiosk. This process automatically adds the information to MinistryPlatform and allows them to check into your event.

1. At a workstation in Attended Mode (or Unattended Mode using the Attendant Password), click Add Family.
2. Add the basic family information. This populates the Household record of MinistryPlatform. Only active congregations display in the drop-down menus. The Household record's Audit Log displays the date you created the record in the Check-In Suite.
   
3. Click Add Member and enter information about one of the family members. This populates the Contact record of MinistryPlatform. The Contact record's Audit Log displays the date you created the record in Check-In Suite.
   1. For the family members that should be able to check in (for example, the child for a Children's Ministry event), select an Event in the Add Event drop-down list. For an Event to display in the list, you must select it on the Check-In Suite Homepage.
   2. For the family members that should be in a Group (for example, the child to be in a secure Children's Ministry Group), indicate the appropriate Group. This creates a Group Participant record.
   3. For Attributes, select the Attribute from the drop-down list, add a note, and click Add. Repeat as needed.
      
4. Click Save.
5. Once you've added all family members, click Save on the Add Family screen.
