Visitor Registration - This method is popular because it allows individuals to enter their own data. This not only saves the administrator time, but also allows people to select their preferred content. This preferred content is how you can personalize information to an individual's home page.

Once complete, this information is automatically stored in your People manager. Use the Registration Options dialog box to manage the settings for visitor registration.
