Check-in ensures clear processes, reliable participant management and supports you in organizing your meetings. New visitors can also be registered easily so that you always know who was there.  <\/p>\n\n<p>It is particularly practical that you can manage several groups and appointments at the same time with the check-in. This allows you to keep an overview at all times, even with parallel events &#8211; such as several children&#8217;s services. The module can also be used flexibly on any number of end devices, for example on a laptop and several smartphones.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Another plus: you can print name badges directly at check-in. This way, all participants are easily recognizable and it is much easier to address them &#8211; whether in children&#8217;s work, in church services or at larger events. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can I find where?<\/h2>\n\n<p>You can use the two columns on the left to define the meeting for which you want to record attendance.<\/p>\n\n<p>On the far left in the <strong>Meetings<\/strong> column (1), you can display dates from the calendars of your congregation. To do this, select a calendar using the <em>cogwheel<\/em>. You can also create a new group meeting quickly and easily using the <em>plus sign<\/em>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The middle column <strong>Groups<\/strong> (2) lists all groups in your congregation so that you can directly select the right group for the current meeting. You can use the <em>cogwheel<\/em> to limit the list to all subgroups of a specific supergroup. <\/p>\n\n<p>The <strong>People<\/strong> column (3) on the right-hand side is the actual &#8220;attendance list&#8221; in which you enter who is there. It shows you all the people who belong to the group you have selected in the middle column. <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use the <em>Present<\/em> or <em>Reset<\/em> button to mark the presence of a person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the <em>search field<\/em> to find everyone quickly and reliably, even with longer lists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With <em>Plus<\/em>, you can even create and manage new people in just a few simple steps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <em>cogwheel<\/em> helps you to sort the list by first name or to display only group members with a specific Role.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>You can use the <strong>options<\/strong> (4) at the top right to customize the view of the page to your requirements. You can find out more about this in the next section. You can also complete the meeting here.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CTC-Check-in-2026-02-10-at-08.22.40.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CTC-Check-in-2026-02-10-at-08.22.40.png\" alt=\"Overview check-in\" class=\"wp-image-48110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CTC-Check-in-2026-02-10-at-08.22.40.png 2528w, https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CTC-Check-in-2026-02-10-at-08.22.40-300x68.png 300w, https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CTC-Check-in-2026-02-10-at-08.22.40-1024x232.png 1024w, https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CTC-Check-in-2026-02-10-at-08.22.40-768x174.png 768w, https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CTC-Check-in-2026-02-10-at-08.22.40-1536x348.png 1536w, https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CTC-Check-in-2026-02-10-at-08.22.40-2048x463.png 2048w, https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CTC-Check-in-2026-02-10-at-08.22.40-360x81.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2528px) 100vw, 2528px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group ct-artikel-zum-weiterlesen has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-89fd719a wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:8px;background-color:#f9fafb;margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:24px;padding-top:32px;padding-right:24px;padding-bottom:32px;padding-left:24px\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Read more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/de\/help\/churchtools-modules\/check-in\/check-in-gruppentreffen-gruppenkalender-wo-liegt-der-unterschied\/\" data-type=\"docs\" data-id=\"41217\">Check-in, group meetings, group calendar &#8211; what&#8217;s the difference?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/de\/help\/churchtools-modules\/check-in\/warum-lohnt-es-sich-ein-gruppentreffen-abzuschliessen\/\">Why is it worth closing a group meeting?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/de\/help\/churchtools-modules\/check-in\/0-checkin-mit-der-app\/\">Check-in with the app<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Check-in module, you can quickly and clearly record who is attending a group meeting &#8211; whether it&#8217;s a church service, a children&#8217;s group, a leisure activity, a team meeting or a conference.
