Filter Out Unnamed Schedules in Check-In

Check-in

Check-in (both next-gen and classic) should only display schedules that have names. Unnamed schedules (schedules with null or empty names) should be automatically filtered out and not appear as options during check-in.

Currently, both next-gen and classic check-in systems can display schedules that have no name. When these unnamed schedules appear in the schedule selection screen, they show up as checkboxes with no text label, creating a poor user experience:

  • Users cannot identify what schedule they're selecting
  • Unnamed schedules appear as empty checkboxes
  • This creates confusion and potential errors during check-in

I believe two small code changes are needed:

  1. Next-Gen: Add `.Where( s => s.Name.IsNotNullOrWhiteSpace() )` filter in `OpportunityCollection.Create()`
  2. Classic: Add `&& s.Name.IsNotNullOrWhiteSpace()` to existing filter in `KioskDevice.LoadGroupTypes()`

Both changes are minimal, low-risk, and align with existing code patterns.
