Admittance – Current Activities Check-In

 

The Current Activities Check-In feature is a mechanism to check in Patrons who are members or non-members and are coming in for a Class, a Time Slot Activity, a League Scheduled Game or a Facility Reservation.  It’s great for customers who forgot their QR code or none was issued.  This screen is interactive and refreshes every minute to show who should be coming into the facility.  Also note that you may configure the regular barcode admittance screen for check-in capabilities (see section below).

Accessing the Current Activities Feature

Access the interactive screen by going Action>Admittance>Show Current Activities For Check-In

To check a patron in, simply double click on their name or select them and press the [Check-In] button.  This records them in the admittance log as well as updates occupancy if so configured.  These admittance counts will show up in your Admittance Log and Admittance Reports.

 

Options

Hide Patrons Who Already Checked In -Uncheck this option to include patrons who have already checked in.  This is useful for informational purposes.  Those already checked in are shown in red.  If you highlight a checked in person, you can then remove their check-in status.

Order By – Orders the list by Patron or Activity 1st, then Patron

Limit List To – Scopes the list to only patrons who are relative to the current time window.  Setting it to 10 minutes before means a patron will show up on the list for a 10:00am class starting at 9:50am.  The after time is the converse but note it’s from the class end time.  So a 10 minute in that column means the patron would stay in the list 10 minutes past the class ending time.  If you would like to change these default grace period times, do that in Workstation Configuration / Admittance Tab (see configuring Admittance for Activity Check-In’s)

Show Entire Day – This shows all patrons who scheduled to enter the facility for the entire day.

Exclude Expired Activities – When showing the Entire Day, this option lets you exclude classes that have passed showing you just the list of who to expect from here forward.

Refresh – Refreshes the list immediately.  Generally, the list updates every 60 seconds however if you want the most updated information (example some scans in through the admittance screen), press this button.

 

Configuring Admittance for Check-In

You can also configure the regular admittance screen to perform these check-in’s using a membership card swipe or individual admittance.  You can do this even if the patron is not a member and just enrolled in an activity if you give them a membership card or key fob which identifies them to the system.

To enable this functionality, go to File> Workstation Configuration and select the ‘Admittance [F3]’ tab.

 

Up To – Defines the grace period in minutes before the class begins and after the class ends to allow admittance through the scanner.  If a customer comes early, use the Check-In screen to admit them if applicable.  The default grace periods on that screen are the same but can be interactively changed.

NOTE: This functionality mirrors the manual check-in screen above.  This means that if someone scans in, they will disappear from the ‘Current Activities Check-In’ screen on its next refresh.
