Check in a Guest
With the Add Guest option, you can add enough information to Check-In Kiosk in Attended Mode to print a name tag for a one-time guest. This is helpful for one-time guest children for Children's Ministry programming.
Add Guests
- You can only add a guest in Attended Mode.
- Place your guests in their own Household and associate them with the family through Other Households.
- You can't print a name tag for the guest unless another person from the family also checks in.
- If the family Call Number token is on the name tag, the guest's tag includes the call number of the Household that they checked in.

- Group Participant Record with the Group Role as the default role set on the related Group Type record if the guest is also added to a group.

- If you need to add more than one guest, you may want to use the Edit Family function at an attended station rather than the Add Guest function. Depending on the scenario, you may add guests to the family with a Household Position of Guest Child or you may create a new family.
