Navigate to the Registration section, if you are adding a prospect leave Terms Signed/Registration Fee Paid unticked, and the field Letter of Engagement Signed blank. As the client hasn't signed terms they will be added to your Prospect list, and when they come to register for the portal the will be asked to sign an LoE because no date has been added to indicate they have signed one previously.

If this client isn't a prospect, tick Terms Signed/Registration Fee Paid and they will be added straight to your Client List. If they have an LoE in place already you can add the date it was signed so they are not asked to sign another when registering.
