Check and Register Families
You receive an email when families submit the online registration form. You can then view registrations, add new families, or update existing family records.
- On the Information tab, click .
- Select Check and Register Families, and click Next.
- If you have a large number of forms to process, the program processes batches of 25 forms at a time. Otherwise, you can select the families you want to create or update records for.
- If you no longer need a family's registration, select Delete Form to delete it from the web server.
- Select a family and review their information. If needed, you can make changes to the information based on how you want the data to display on the PDS record.
- If a match is found with the Head, Spouse, Adult, or Other member data, the family information from the PDS record displays on the right. To manually match an existing family record, click Find a Family and select the family. You can then select which data to use. Differences show in blue text, and they change to green text once you've made a selection.
- When you're ready to process the registrations, click Next.
- To post the information, click Finish.
- If you have a large number of forms, you can process the next batch(es) until all forms are processed. Or, you can exit the process and register the remaining forms later.
