Section 2.3 - Registration
From the main window, click on "Register" to open the registration window. The registration window allows for edits and additions to the project registration database stored by fsTimer. When we press "Register" from the main window, we are asked to specify the computer's registration number and (optionally) to select a pre-registration file:

The computer registration number is important when using multiple computers for simultaneous registration, for instance, day-of. A separate registration database will be created by each registration computer, and in order to make it easier to track these databases and merge them you can assign each computer used in registration a unique number. The database file saved by each computer will have the registration number in the filename so it will be easy to keep track of all of the databases. We just leave the registration number as 1 for now. Selecting a pre-registration file is optional. If you do not select a pre-registration file, then you will be presented with an empty registration database. In order to include the pre-registration information that we imported from the csv in the preregister window, we have to select that file ("fstimer_demo_registration_prereg.json").

We have now loaded up the pre-registration database and can edit existing entries and add new entries. Editing an entry (for instance, to add a bib number) is done by selecting the entry and pressing "Edit." This opens a new window that allows you to edit any of that entry's information:

In order to find a particular entry in the database (for instance, to add an ID number to a racer that preregistered) you can simply type his or her last name into the field at the top of the registration window to filter all of the results by last name:

New registration entries can easily be added by pressing the "New" button. The "Add family" button is used to add a family member for an existing database entry. Selecting an entry and pressing "Add family" will bring up the same window as for a new entry, except with the last name, address, email, and other information pre-filled in. The only fields that have been cleared are first name, ID number, Age, and Gender, since these will differ for each of the family members. This saves alot of time re-typing addresses and phone numbers and such for a large group of people who share this information.
When finished making changes to the registration database, press "Save" to save the database to a file. At the bottom of the window it will tell you the filename the database was saved to. After we have saved, we press "Done" to close the registration window.
