Although the Admin side of Check-Ins can be used as set-it-and-forget-it, it's very powerful. During an event, an Editor can make changes to check-ins, like their type, removing duplicates, and adding other check-ins, to ensure the data is clean.
As an Editor, you have access to the Overview and Check-Ins tabs of the event. This tab reflects the actual check-ins of the event.
The Overview page shows you how many people are checked in, and it breaks it down by location and even type.
The Check-Ins page shows you the total number of check-ins and allows you to filter and sort to find those checked in.
If the main numbers don't match, it could be because a person was checked in multiple times.
Table 1. Comparison: Admin Side vs. Station
Admin Side |
Station |
---|---|
Overview page shows the number of volunteers, people checked into locations, etc. |
Roster Station shows classroom leader who and how many people are checked into a location |
Can check in people when event is over |
Can print labels |
Does not show households |
Cannot change a person's location once checked in |
The best way to add check-ins is from a station. However, if you are on the Admin side, you can still add check-ins.
In order to keep your session information accurate, you may need to sort the list to remove duplicates or move people from one location to another.
From the dropdown, choose a location to verify those listed in that location are correct.
Uncheck the boxes, so your list will show only the types you need to see.
Tip
If a self station shows an alert about not enough volunteers, your volunteers might be checked in as the wrong type. From the Check-Ins tab, filter the page to the location and find those who checked in with the wrong type.
-
If the volunteer is checked in as a Regular, you can update their check-in to Volunteer.
-
If the volunteer is checked in to a different location, you can update their check-in to the correct location.
If someone is checked in to the wrong location or type, you can update their information without having to check them in again. In addition, if you want to delete a check-in because it's the wrong person or a duplicate, you can do that from the individual check-in.
Click the name of the person you'd like to update.
From the individual's page, update the location or type.
Warning
If you need to reprint a label, you have to do that from a station once you've made changes to their location or type.
