Check In

When your participants arrive and depart from your organization, you can check them in and out in real time with photos and contact information to help you verify the identities of their trusted contacts. Trusted Contacts are people authorized in each profile to pick up and drop off a participant. It is important to know that only authorized users can add Trusted Contacts to a participant's profile. Providers cannot add Trusted Contacts. 

You can also enable a Universal Contact for your organization in Settings. A Universal Contact is a generic Trusted Contact that can be selected at Check-In and Check-Out as well as in the Audit feature for any participant in your organization. It can come in handy when a participant has no other Trusted Contacts or when selecting a specific contact doesn't make sense, such as when participants arrive on a bus or come from a before or aftercare program. You can enable Bypass Mode and use the Universal Contact to check participants in and out quickly.

It is important to know that, as a provider, you must have the Attendance Taking Edit permission to check participants in and out, and you must be registered to the top-level of the organization. This registration is the name of the organization found in the Current section of Provider Registrations. If you want to learn more about how to register for the top-level of the organization, you can read this article. A participant must be registered to a current session in order to see them in a list and check them in and out.
