## Configuration

All guardian forms must collect the guardian’s name and the names of the students they are requesting. Organizations can also include the following optional steps:

* Contact Info (email and/or phone number)
* [Security Screening](https://app.gitbook.com/s/ZyuELZr7uIcXX3WnjX0N/configuration/guest-security-screening)
* Guardian Photo
* Open Response Questions
* Multiple Choice Questions
* Questionnaires
* Videos
* PDFs
* Documents

{% hint style="warning" %}
The security screening step requires capturing an image of the guardian’s ID at check-in. The feature extracts the legal name and date of birth from the ID for verification.
{% endhint %}

## Add a guardian form to a Response template

A guardian form must be assigned for Response templates enabled for Reunification. You can select the desired form when configuring the Response template. See [Create a Response Template](https://help.verkada.com/incident-response/configuration/create-response-templates) for more information.
