Understanding the Check-In Screen: Unchecked, Checked, and History
What each of the three Check-In tabs shows, and how the floating Save bar works.
The three tabs
- Unchecked - everyone expected who hasn't been checked in yet for this session
- Checked - everyone already marked present in this session
- History - a record of check-in activity for this specific session, separate from the church-wide Attendance History page
Saving your check-ins
A floating Save Check-Ins bar appears only when there's something unsaved, check a few people in and it appears above the bottom navigation, tap it to commit those check-ins.
You don't need to save after every single check-in. Check several people in as they arrive, then save in a batch, the bar stays visible the whole time there's unsaved work.
Best practice
If you're running check-in with more than one device or staff member at the same entrance, agree on who's responsible for hitting Save periodically, so no one assumes someone else already did it during a busy arrival period.
