There will be times when you'll want to allow individuals outside of a family to check in children. To make this easy, Rock allows you to add relationships between individuals.

Known Relationships

From a Person Profile page, you can define Known Relationships. The Allow Check In relationship allows you to grant check-in rights to a person outside of a child's immediate family.

To add a known relationship to an individual, complete the following steps:

1. Go to the Person Profile page for the child.
2. Click the ti ti-plus button on the Known Relationship block.
3. Select the Relationship Type of Allow Check-in by.
4. Select the person who should be allowed to check the child in.
5. Click the Save button.

After following these steps, anyone in the family of the person you selected will be allowed to check in the child. You may notice that the inverse relationship (can check in) is automatically added to the adult.

Adding Check-In Abilities to Other Known Relationships

Rock ships with several other Known Relationships such as grandparent, step-parent, etc. Out-of-the-box these relationships do not have check-in rights applied to them. You can easily change that behavior by following the steps below:

1. Navigate to Admin Tools > General Settings > Group Types > Known Relationship.
2. Select the role you would like (under Roles) to add check-in capabilities to.
3. Select Yes under Can Check-in.
4. Click the Save button on the role dialog and then Save again on the Group Type screen.
