There are several settings that can be configured for the check-in type that control the behavior of check-in. While the default values are probably sufficient for most installations, you can change any of them to suit your particular needs. These are updated by selecting the Edit button on the Check-in Type. You get there from Admin Tools > Check-In > Check-in Configuration. Name/Description - Be sure to add a detailed description. Your future self will thank you.Icon CSS Class - You can set or change the icon associated with this check-in configuration.Check-in Type - This is where you select Individual vs. Family. As described in the sections above, this controls the screen flow when a family checks in. Using the Family check-in type allows a family to check-in multiple family members at one time.Prevent Inactive People - Select this option if you do not want people who have an inactive record status to be able to check in. This area of the screen will have additional fields if the Check-in Type is Family (see next screenshot below).Enable Check-out - Here you can select if check-out should be allowed on the kiosk, or in Check-in Manager, or in both places. If neither of these are selected, then check-out is disabled entirely.Enable Presence - The Presence feature allows staff or volunteers to mark a person as 'present'. This is the next step after being checked in and indicates that the person has physically arrived at the room or location. This is a great way to identify how many people are actually taking up a seat, as opposed to people who are checked in but not in the room.Enable Manager Option - By default, the Welcome screen in check-in displays a gear that can be used by a manager to close/open rooms, override age limits, etc. If you don't want this to be available, unselect this option.Achievement Types - This is where you can add one or more achievement types to be used for check-in celebrations. Each achievement type you add will trigger a celebration if the check-in results in the achievement being earned. See the Check-in Celebrations chapter below for details.Enable Remove From Family at Kiosk - When enabled, individuals with a "Can Check-in" relationship to a family can be removed at the kiosk without requiring a supervisor login. This action will remove all Can Check-in relationships for that person to the family. This means if you have "Can Check in" checked on a Grandchild role in the Known Relationships, pressing the Remove button will remove that Grandchild relationship from that family's records.Enable Override - If the manager option is enabled, you can still turn off the ability to override age and grade constraints by unselecting this option.Security Code Length - When Rock creates new security codes for labels, it will create the codes using the number of characters you specify in these fields. It will show the alpha-numeric characters first, then alpha characters, and then numeric characters. Typically, you would configure just alpha-numeric characters or a combination of alpha and numeric (typically, you wouldn't use all three). We would recommend using codes that contain at least three characters, as you would be limiting the number of available codes with anything less than that. A three character alpha-numeric provides a total of 13,744 codes to assign in one day, so larger churches who may be expecting to check in more people than that should use at least four characters.Random Numeric Values - When using numeric values as part of the security code, should those numbers be randomly generated? If not, they will be generated in numeric order starting with "1" every day.Search Type - Select how you'd like your families to search for their family (Phone Number, Name, Name & Phone, or Family Id). Remember, using anything besides Phone Number will require that a keyboard is available at each check-in kiosk. Also keep in mind that barcode scanning, RFID check-in and any other keyboard wedge technology is ready to use from the Welcome screen regardless of which option you choose here.Maximum Number of Results - When searching for a family, this is the maximum number of families that will be returned.Minimum Phone Number Length - Individuals will be required to enter this many digits of their phone number before being able to search.Maximum Phone Number Length - Individuals won't be able to enter any more than this number of digits when searching.Phone Search Type - When searching for families with a matching phone number, you can elect for Rock to search for phone numbers that end with the digits that were entered, or search for any phone numbers that contain those digits (anywhere in the number). The best choice probably depends on the size of your database. If you are a large organization with tens of thousands of phone numbers, you probably want to use the "ends with" option. This will require that your families know they need to enter the last digits of their phone number.Header Text - These settings are not used by Next-Gen check-in.Display Settings - These settings are not used by Next-Gen check-in except for the Hide Photos option. If you've selected a Check-in Type of Family, you'll see this option to hide the family member photos that are shown after a family is selected.Registration Settings - This is an advanced setting that is explained in the Check-in Registration section.Regular Expression Filter - Used only with phone number search, this is an advanced setting that can be used to remove any special characters from the search string before using it to search the database. This would only be needed if your kiosks have a keyboard that can be used to enter special characters or if you needed to strip off a unwanted prefix value. For example, [0](\d*) would remove a 0 prefix from the entered number.Refresh Interval - This setting is not used by Next-Gen since kiosks are notified about configuration updates in real-time.Special Needs - This advanced setting is explained in the Configuring for Special Needs section.Grade and Age Matching Behavior - This advanced setting is explained in the Grade and Age Matching Behavior section.Age is Required - If a family member doesn't have a birthdate entered in Rock (i.e., age) should they still be able to check-in to group types and groups that have an age restriction?Grade is Required - If a family member doesn't have a graduation date (i.e., grade) should they still be able to check in to group types and groups that have a grade restriction? For more details on how Rock handles grades and promotion from one grade to the next, see our Person and Family Field Guide.Ability Level Determination - This controls whether or not the Ability Level Selection should be shown during check-in. You would set this to Don't Ask if you don't want parents to select the ability level for their child because you have an outside/external system in place to gather that information. Choosing Don't Ask If There Is No Ability Levelwill allow a person with a set ability level the opportunity to update it, while a person without an ability level set will not be asked to select one. Lastly, Choosing Don't Ask If There Is an Ability Level will only ask if the person does not already have an ability level.Display Location Count - When the Location Selection screen is displayed for families to choose a location to check a family member into, should that location listing display the current count of people already checked into that location? The General Settings have a few extra options if the Check-In Type is set to Family. Below we have descriptions for those settings that only apply if you are using the Family Check-In type. Auto Select Days Back - This is the number of days back that Rock will look for a previous check-in when deciding whether a family member should be selected by default when using the Family check-in type.Auto Select Options - You can choose to auto select people only, or people and the location they are being checked into, based on their previous check-in data. See the Auto Check-In section below for more details.Use Same Service Options - When using the Family check-in type, people will be asked to select the area, group and location for each person and each service time they selected. If you would like families to only have to select these options once for each person (i.e., not for each service), select this option. When selected, Rock will automatically select the same area, group, and location for the other service times assuming the same options are available.Prevent Inactive People - Select this option if you do not want people who have an inactive record status to be able to check in.Prevent Duplicate Check-in - Selecting this option will result in people not being allowed to check in during a particular service time if they have already checked into any group/location already for that same time. See also the Prevent Concurrent Check-in in the Areas and Groups section.
