Registration process

Is there a feature where parents/individuals go and register themselves instead of administrators input those information?

    Out-of-the-box, I think the only feature like that would be if you enabled account creation on your login screens. Since you can't delete people from Rock, they don't want you to have to figure out what to do with all those accounts until there's a reason you want to enable them =)

    There are lots of options for having people register themselves though:

    You can create a workflow to ask for their first name, last name and email address (at least) and use the "Person Match from Fields" action to match or create an existing person based on that information. https://www.rockrms.com/Rock/BookContent/12/99 

    You can set up event registration which will similarly match or create people based on their information, create a person record (or multiple people, optionally in the same family or not). https://www.rockrms.com/Rock/BookContent/29/96

    You can also put the "New Group" block (which is the block administrators use to create new families) on a public page. This is perhaps the most powerful, and thus most risky method of allowing people to add themselves, since they have nearly full control over their record creation.

    So it all depends on what you want to do.

    Let us know if you have any questions about these options!

      And perhaps I'm overstating "risky" on that third option - I just mean from a data integrity perspective, there may be items (connection status, etc) that you don't want a person setting on themselves. Sometimes it's good to have a staff person create the records so they can be created consistently.
