Key Points to Consider¶

• Allow time to purchase and install the devices you will use (PCs or tablets, printers, labels, etc.).

• Thoroughly test your Check-In setup by making sure your hardware is working correctly and that your Involvements are properly set up for Check-In.

• Plan for time to train the volunteers that will staff the Check-In stations. The software is very easy to use and intended to be self-service for regular members and returning guests who are attending a previously-attended class. However, you will need volunteers to welcome and assist new guests. Most will need to have new family / people records created, and they will need to select a class to visit. The volunteers will also be needed to assist members who need to edit their records or visit a different class.

• Communicate with your classroom workers and the parents of the children who will be using Check-In. Let them know the ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘when’, ‘where’ and ‘how’ of Check-In for your church. Let them know the ‘why’ as well. Give them your reasons for using Check-In so they will have a positive attitude and a good experience.
