Quick Start - Self Mode

Running Check‐in in Self mode is intended for frequent attenders who have been assigned a barcode number for the express purpose of using self check‐in. Although a volunteer is not needed to run the kiosk, it’s important to have one nearby in case there are questions or errors.

The steps for self check-in are as follows:

To use Check-in, in Self mode:

1. A person will scan a barcode. This may be all that is required (depending upon the activity the individual(s) are attending).
2. He will then touch the schedules to check into.
3. The final step will be to touch Check‐in to complete the process.

Let’s break the steps down. Step 1—the family will walk up to the kiosk as shown below:

Note: Participants must scan a barcode to use the self check‐in kiosk. If they have forgotten their barcode tag or receive an error message when scanning, they will need to proceed to a check‐in station that is running in Assisted mode.

One of two things will happen:

• If one person is checking into an activity with only one available schedule, Check‐in will automatically complete the procedure and display a message that the individual has been checked in.
• If multiple household members are able to attend the activity (or if there are multiple schedule choices), the household information appears as shown below. In the image below, there are two available schedules for the activity. One or both schedules can be selected.

Note: Remember that volunteers are important at self check‐in stations as well. They are able to help people select schedules and troubleshoot any printer issues or assignment issues. Don’t forget to greet!

Step 2—Person touches the schedules to attend (marked 1 in the picture below):

Step 3—Person touches Check-in (marked 2 in the picture above).

And that’s all there is to it! Check-in is really a simple process of finding people, selecting the correct schedules/locations, and finalizing check-in. After a couple of minutes of practice you will be a pro!
