Scheduling Checkins

Turnstile's Advance Check-In feature can be used to pre-check students into appointments and then later verify ("Confirm") that they have attended.

This can be used to 'schedule' students into events, such a tutoring session.

The Setup

1. Go to the Turnstile->Setup->Advance Check-In screen.
2. Use the "Advance Check-In" form:
3. Select the "Event" (e.g. 'Tutoring Session')
4. Select the Date of the Check In (date of the tutoring session).
5. LEAVE THE 'Time of Check In" FIELD BLANK.  This is what enables the "confirm check in" feature.
6. Select the student list or student's name or id:  identify which students are being set to checkin later.
7. If desired, set the "Student Pass Options" to create passes for all of the students.
8. Click the "Perform Advance Checkin" button to create the 'checkin' record.

For example:

Once the Perform Advance Checkin button is clicked the following verifcation dialog is displayed:

To proceed, click the OK button.

Once the records have been created, a confirmation dialog is displayed:

Confirming Arrival at the Scheduled Check-In

The student checks-in normally via the Turnstile->Scanning screen.  Instead of the seeing the standard "Check In" button, a "Confirm Arrival" button is displayed:

When the "Confirm Arrival" button is clicked, the Turnstile tracking record is updated with the actual time the student was checked in.   Checking out is then done normally.
