The Making Music Platform has always had a Visitors Book, but it was never publicised as a feature. It's a way to record visitors that may have come to your rehearsals or other events. It captures their details, and adds them to the member database, as a 'Visitor', and marks them as having attended that event (as a visitor). With their details in the member database, it's easy to later convert them from a Visitor to a Member, if they ever decide to join your group, or you want their email address for your mailing list, etc.
It works like this: You would a device connected to the Internet at your event. Logged in as an administrator, you would pull up the Visitors Book page, click the link at the top called Prepare the Visitors Book to be signed by a visitor to the event in progress, click the Sign the Visitors Book button, and hand the device to the visitor.
This will actually log you out, because you don't want any visitors being able to access administrative functionality in your Platform, which they would be able to do if you didn't log yourself out. You can sign yourself back in after you get your device back from the visitor.
