How do I use the Check-In feature?

 

If you haven't already, you'll need to lock your class manager with a PIN first. Then, you can click the Check-In tab and check the box to enable that.

 

With this option turned on, go to Magic > Class Manager in the main menu or open your class manager from your mobile device.  You will see Check-In on the side menu on the left:

 

 

To check a student in, search for the student's or parent's name. Searching for a parent's name allows you to check an entire family in at one time. Click on the parent's or student's name to check them in.

 

 

Check-In also marks the student as present for all their classes that day.  If a student is going to miss one of their classes but needs to be checked in for the others, you can uncheck one of the boxes. Then click the "Check-In" button below the student names.

 

 

Once students are checked in, you should finish attendance.  This allows you to mark absent students and report attendance as complete for all classes on that date.  To finish attendance, click the Finish Attendance button.

 

 

Finish Attendance lists the students who have yet to be marked present or absent for the day.  You can check and uncheck boxes for their classes individually or use the quick check buttons to check or uncheck all classes for that student.

 

 

Scroll down to the bottom of the list of students and you can either check those selected students in and mark them Present or Absent.

 

When all students are marked as either present or absent, the system tells you that attendance is complete for all classes.

 

 

 

After students are checked in, they can then be checked out.  Start from the main Check-In screen and click the Check-Out button.

 

 

On the Check-Out screen, you click a button for each student as they check out. The system shows your progress at the top.

 

 

When all students are checked out, you can see the status of each student and that progress as complete.
