# How to sign up for an event through Kiosk?

## Use a kiosk to allow volunteers to sign up for events on the same day.

### Checkin statin settings:

If “Allow Same-Day Event Registration” is enabled at the station, the system will display a list of events available for volunteers to sign up for. That is, Allow volunteers to sign up for additional same-day shifts via this station.

### Kiosk Event Display Logic: Conditions for Volunteer Sign-up

The conditions a volunteer must meet for an event (shift) to be displayed as available for sign-up via the Kiosk/Check-In Station

A volunteer is only allowed to select **one shift per event** to sign up for via this station.

### 1. Time & Availability Conditions

- **Time Constraint**  
  Events (shifts) must have a start date that falls on the current calendar day (local time of the station).
- **Available Spots**  
  Only events with **available volunteer spots** will be displayed. Events that are already full will not appear.

### 2. Program Filtering

If the Kiosk/Station is configured for a **specific Program**, only events that belong to that selected Program will be displayed.

### 3. Volunteer Profile Restrictions

- **Group Access**  
  If the event is **private** (restricted to a specific group), the volunteer must be a member of that required group.
- **Age Restriction**  
  If an event has an age restriction, the volunteer must meet the requirement. If the system does **not know** the volunteer's age, they will be prompted to enter their date of birth when they attempt to sign up.
- **Gender Restriction**  
  If an event has a gender restriction, the volunteer must meet the requirement. If the system does **not know** the volunteer's gender, they will be prompted to select their gender when they attempt to sign up.

### 4. Application Requirements

If the event has **"Require a completed General Application for event signup?"** enabled, the volunteer's application status is checked:

- **Events will be displayed** if the volunteer's application status is **Approved** or **Waived**.
- **Events will NOT be displayed** if the volunteer's application status is **Incomplete**, **Declined**, or **Expired**.
