InSite Parent - Check In/Out

The Check In/Out icon on the InSite Parent application is used to check children in and out of the center using a location-based check in. This article will go over the administrator setup and parent setup and use.

Admin Setup

Before parents can begin utilizing the location-based check in, there are configurations that must be completed. 

• Set Activity ID 1793 to 'All Permissions' - this will allow the Check In/Out icon to appear on the InSite Parent app for parents
• Parents using the location-based check in must have a door PIN created. By requiring the door PIN, this would allow admins to block parents/contacts from checking children in/out. To create all parent door PINs in a batch, contact support to run the door PIN creation process. 
• Ensure the correct center address is added on the Home > General screen under the Location Information section. This is the address that will be used as the GPS location
• Enable to GPS check in 
  1. Navigate to System Config > Mobile Apps
  2. Click the InSite Parent tab
  3. Under the 'Allow GPS Check In/Out' column, place a check-mark to enable each center or click the 'All' radio button to select all locations
  4. Enter the GPS Range in Feet - the default range is 500 feet. Double click the cell to change the GPS range value
