If you group stations together in a template, you will save so much time on the day of your events! Set them up the way that works best for your situation from some of these commonly used examples.
Tip
If you ever get in a bind and need to change a station, make sure you set up Station Keys!
If your stations are used throughout the week, you can set up a template for them to automatically change when you're finished checking in people on Sunday.
Set your template for your Sunday Services to start before the first location opens.
Then, create another template that locks to the new event--or no event--and set the time to start when all Sunday events have finished.
The checked stations will change at the appointed time, allowing your daily event to be ready to check in the next morning.
If you don't have a volunteer at a station at the start of an event for check in, but parents can check out with a volunteer at the end of the event, you can have that station switch from a self station to a manned or roster station in order for volunteers to check people out.
Set the first template before the first location opens, and make sure all the stations are set to Self.
For the second template, set the time for before people could be checking out, and the stations will automatically switch to Manned or Roster at that time.
Make sure you set your roster station tab to show Here for easy check out!
Your stations will change at the end of service for volunteers to help people check out.
