- Display Panel (remainder of the screen, under the Information Bar and to the right of the Navigation Panel, and shows information in ROW/COLUMN Forms, DATA Forms, etc.)



Introduction to View All Children Screen



This is the "VIEW ALL CHILDREN" Display Panel in the CheckinLink Module. You came here by clicking the Operations Bar [VIEW/EDIT] Tab.



This screen shows all the names of those in MemberLink who have the "Child" designation. Even if the person is not registered in CheckinLink, they will show on this screen as Children with "potential" for CheckinLink by virtue of their "Child" designation in MemberLink.



This "ROW/COLUMN Form" style Display Panel has two sections. The top section has selection filters and function buttons. The bottom section has the ROW/COLUMN layout.



Section 1 "" Filters & Functions



There is one "Viewing Filter" and several buttons or hyperlinks in this section of the screen.



Viewing Filter:



In the top left corner of this Display Panel, you will see Viewing Filter. The viewing menu selection offers three choices:



- All Children: both registered and unregistered Children. (Default)



- Registered Children: only those children that have been associated with a Parent or Guardian in CheckinLink.



- Un-Registered Children: only those Children that are in MemberLink but not associated (or registered) with a Parent or Guardian in CheckinLink.



Use this Viewing Filter to choose which of these three groupings of Children you want displayed on the Display Panel.

When you return from "SELECT CHILDREN" Screen, those Children matching your Search parameters will be displayed on the "VIEW ALL CHILDREN" Display Panel.
