Create and use station keys

Station keys make it easy for your staff and trained volunteers to update a station's settings without needing to access Check-Ins on a web browser. They can quickly adjust: 

  • Station type (manned, self, or roster)

  • The event and location to which the station is locked

  • Print to field

  • Theme

  • Station refresh settings

  • Speed tip suggestions

Tip

Keys can be used at any station, but each staff member or volunteer should have their own individual key.
