Along with assisted check-in stations, you can set up unmanned self check-in stations. Though self check-in stations are unmanned and intended for regular members to use by themselves, designated staff and volunteers still need to set up the check-in stations for each use. These authorized personnel should be trained on this process of setting up self check-in stations.

You can select up to 10 sessions per check-in station. You must select either a template or sessions at each check-in station; you cannot select both templates and sessions at one check-in station. You cannot select more than one template per check-in station. Each check-in station can have different templates and sessions selected.

Once you set up the check-in stations, they are ready for people to start checking in.

Depending on how you installed Checkpoint on the check-in station computer, you can access self check-in through either Checkpoint KIOSK or through ACS People Suite.
