+Admin Page: **Registration Setup > General Settings**
 This menu allows you to control various fields (and their aspects) used within the registration form.  You can choose which fields to use within the form as well as which fields are required.  The fields you use will be the same on the registration form and the user information info and edit form page.  The same fields will appear and the same fields will be required.

 Also note that turning this feature on will force the email field to appear in the place a listing process within the listing details collection page whether you have that off or not in the LISTING SETUP > FIELD TO USE admin tool.
 If you select the "Allow users to pick a username/password" checkbox, users will be allowed to select their own usernames and passwords, and all other data will be collected from the listing details.  The "login" step that collects this information will appear as a step in the place a listing process.
+Also the email verification step of the registration is not included in the JIT registration process.  If you have the email verification turned on for registration this will happen if the registration process is used but will NOT if the JIT registration process is used.  Within the JIT registration process the place a listing process trumps the standard registration process.  The JIT registration is "worked into" the place a listing process and there is no "step" in the place a listing process to allow email verification.
 Ultimately, this allows a first-time visitor to your site to jump straight into listing placement without having to go through a registration process first.
+<tip c n>
+If an already registered user starts the place a listing process without logging in first they can click the "login" link within the JIT registration step.  They will be redirected to the login page to login.  Once logged in they can click the "resume place a listing" link within their client home page "my account links" to return to the step they were within the place a listing process.

 === Secret Hash Word ===
-This is a function of php that is used to generate a random key to be used during registration confirmation. The default setting is shorterthan20, which means the key that is generated will be shorter than 20 characters. It is used to generate other keys and we recommend that this value be left to the default setting.
+This is a used as a "salt" for certain hashes created as part of the registration process. There is typically no need to change this value unless you suspect automated exploitation of the registration process.
 ===== Optional Registration Fields =====
-This feature is not available in all editions of the software.  Please check the feature comparison chart on the geodesicsolutions.com site to verify this feature is available in your edition.
 In addition to the preconfigured registration fields mentioned above, you may also add up to 10 customized fields to use during the registration process. This is on a site-wide basis. In other words, every registrant will be asked these questions when they register. Each optional field can be answered by the registrant by entering a standard text box or selecting from a dropdown box. The choice is yours. To create available registration dropdown boxes to be used during the registration process, click on the link at the bottom of the page.
