With the expansion of the Check-in feature to additional roles in September 2024, the manner in which schools/districts setup the Check-In feature on a given device has changed. Schools have more flexibility in determining for which roles and with which encounters their students can check in!
Note: You will need to follow the below steps on each device student will use to check-in, which is an invaluable aspect of the new flexibility of the feature!
Step One: Navigate to your instance's Check-In page at {instance name}.augustschools.com/checkin, where {instance name} is replaced with your school/district instance name (e.g., school.augustschools.com/checkin).
If you need to set up the checkin feature for the first time, the page will look like this:
Otherwise, it will look like the below:
Step Two: Click the gear icon at the top right of the page (either of the above) to open the Check-In settings page.
Step Three: Select the role(s) for which you want to set up the Check-In Feature in the 'Roles' field.
Doing so will expose an additional field from which you will select the encounter(s) with which students should be able to check in.
Step Four: Select the encounter type(s) with which students should be able to check in for each role you have selected.
Step Five: Select the 'Save' button once you have selected all roles and corresponding encounter types.
Step Six: Select the 'Checkin' button to return to the main page where students will check in.
To edit you selections, select the 'Edit' button from this page instead. and repeat steps three to five.
