The Check-In Kiosk adds valuable functionality to Events. In this section of Check-In Suite, you can quickly and easily manage event check-in, automatically print name tags, add and edit individual and family information, communicate event attendance to the MinistryPlatform database in real time, and much more.

To access the Check-In Kiosk:

  1. Log in to Check-In Suite.
  2. Set the desired Check-In Suite Homepage configuration.
  3. Click Check In Kiosk.

Clean Screen Option

To facilitate cleaning, you can configure your kiosk screen to "lock" for 8 seconds between each check-in. If configured, a Clean Screen button displays in the bottom corner of the check-in screen.

  • When you tap the Clean Screen button, the touchscreen is disabled for 8 seconds.
  • A countdown timer displays.
  • At the end of the countdown, the screen returns to the check-in screen, and the touchscreen is re-enabled.
  • The Clean Screen button inherits the Button C Theme settings.
  • If configured, the Clean Screen button displays in both attended and unattended modes.
Note: The Clean Screen option defaults to Yes. To disable the Clean Screen option, go to Administration > Configuration Settings, and set CIM,ShowCleanScreen to No.

Handling Specific Situations

Your church must determine how you want to handle specific situations that occur during the normal use of the Check‐In Kiosk, such as:

  • Adding a new family visiting the church for the first time.
  • Finding an existing family that did not display in the search results.
  • Updating information on an existing person or family, like a phone number or email address.
  • Adding individuals to an existing family, like a new baby.
  • Adding an out‐of‐town guest visiting only one time.
  • Adding an existing participant to a new Group.
