Edit a Family During Check-In

Quickly edit a family using the Check-In Kiosk. This process automatically updates MinistryPlatform and allows the newly-updated information to be used in Check-In Suite immediately.

Note: Children's ages display in months in Check-In Suite until the child reaches two years old or 24 months.
  1. At a workstation in Attended Mode (or Unattended Mode using the Attendant Password), search for the family.
  2. Click Edit Family.
  3. Make the changes to the contact information, Congregation, or Source. The Household record's Audit Log shows these changes.
  4. To edit a specific family member, click the family member and edit as necessary. To add a new family member, click Add New Member.
    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 menu. For an Event to appear in the drop-down menu, 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.
