Connection Card Pro’s Check-In Kiosk makes it easy to check-in children and youth, and even adults! A Self-Check-In kiosk is good for Youth or Parents who can check-in on their own or for their children by either entering a phone number or swiping their Card. In the self-check-in mode your Top Toolbar menu will be hidden. Name tags and pick up tags can be printed automatically. The Kiosk Screen is the only screen people will see, keeping all of your organization’s personal and confidential information safe and inaccessible.
Prerequisites for 1st time Check-In of a Meeting/Event:
Make sure you have completed setting all your Kiosk Settings first for a more efficient check-in process! See our help doc on the Organization Wide and Department Kiosk Settings here!
Other Prerequisites that will streamline setting up your 1st Check-in Profile:
Set Meeting time if not set up yet in Manage > Meeting Times > Add New
Create Name Tag template if using name tags and pick up tags in Kiosk > Settings > Name Tag Templates
Set Credits if used in your organization in Groups > Departments > Gear button > Department Settings >Credits/Points settings
If this is for a Team event, set up your team first in Events > New Event
Tip: Set up a generic Admin and password for volunteers to use when signing into the kiosks for check-in, if you have a general email such as info@churchname or contact@churchname email. When setting up this generic Admin, you can select Kiosk Only for the User type. This generic admin email and password can be used at all check-in kiosks among your campus, or at multiple campus’s.
