We've already seen that you can filter groups by age ranges and grades. There's one more criterion you can use: ability levels. It's common for infants and preschoolers to stay in certain rooms until they achieve a special milestone activity such as crawling or potty-training. Rock can help you track and select these levels within the check-in process. Let’s see how it works. Initial Level Set - The first time a child who matches the age range of ability levels checks in they will be asked which ability-level they meet.Ability Level Set - When the parent selects the ability level for their child it will be stored in the Ability Level person attribute on their Person Profile. Feel free to update their level here if needed in the future.Subsequent Check-Ins - Future check-ins will display their current ability and fade out previous levels. Parents can update the setting at any time. They can even select from the previous levels if needed. How Ability Levels Are Stored Ability levels are simply a person attribute that can be used as a filter to select a check-in group. If you go to the Extended Attributes tab of a Person Profile page, you’ll see the Ability Level attribute in the Childhood Information section. This is the attribute that will be considered when filtering groups. Rock comes with three ability levels configured: Infant, Crawling or Walking and Potty-Trained. You saw in the walkthrough above that an individual, or more likely their parents, could update this ability level during each check-in. You can also change the ability level behind the scenes on the Person Profile page. Configuring Ability Levels Not all check-in groups care about ability levels. Once you leave the preschool area, they aren't that useful. (Imagine the responses you'd get if you asked high school students if they were potty-trained!) To enable ability levels, first you need to set your check-in area (the default configuration is Nursery) to inherit from Check-in by Ability Level under Admin Tools > Check-in > Check-in Configuration > Areas and Groups. This will tell all the groups in this area that they can define an ability level. A key to ability levels is that you need to configure groups with overlapping age ranges. A child will only be able to check into the groups whose age criterion she meets, even though the parent will be presented with a list of all ability levels. Inherit From - Set the group's Inherit From property to Ability Level to enable the check-in for ability levels. Once an area has been configured to inherit from Check-in by Ability Level, you'll see that the groups assigned to that area now have an Ability Level setting. Ability Level - Select the group's ability level. This will be the filter that is used to present options to the individual during check-in. When Ability Levels Are Shown Due to the potential awkwardness of the ability level selection with older children you might be wondering when the selection screen is shown. This screen is only shown when the following criteria are met: The kiosk is configured to check-in for an area that inherits from Check-in Ability Levels.The individual being checked in matches the age ranges of the groups with ability levels. Adding Ability Levels Adding additional ability levels is a simple process. But you should refrain from adding too many levels because it can confuse your guests. To edit or add levels simply edit the Ability Level Defined Type Admin Tools > Check-in > Ability Levels. NoteThe order of the levels is very important. The order that they are shown in the Defined Type is the order they will be displayed on the check-in screens.
