Need Double Security Tags

Post by gkc123 »

Our elem ministry and preschool ministry is in two different buildings. When parents check in, they often check in in one spot and then split up to drop off different age groups. The issue is upon pick up: One parent picks up older child while one head's to the nursery. Any way to print 2 security tags so we can ensure each parent will get one?

I have a small church and we just started using check in this past week. We have the same problem and I thought about having the parents sign them in separately so they will have 2 badges for parents. It would be nice if we had an option to just print it.

WE HAVE PARENTS WITH CHILDREN IN DIFFERENT CLASSES. WHEN THEY PICK THEM UP, PARENTS NEED TO TURN IN THEIR SECURITY TAG. THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IS THAT WHEN THEY CHECK-IN, THE SYSTEM ONLY PRINTS ONE LABEL. IS THERE A WAY TO PRINT A LABEL PER CLASS?

I NOTICED WE ARE NOT THE ONLY CHURCH NEEDING THAT, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO REPLY YET. :(

YOUR SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL. THANKS!

The scenario to which we designed the software:

The parent will check in a child in the Nursery and then bring another child down the hall to the 1yr old class.

The parent will be dropping off both children so they select both when they drop off at the Nursery. They then need to separate the tags and attach them accordingly. They have 1 parent tag. Your check out requirement needs the parent tag in both places.

You would limit the check in station at the Nursery to only show the Nursery as an option to check in. This is done in the Kiosk Setup. The same would be done at the other check in station at the 1yr old class.
If your scenario does not match this, perhaps in the interim, you can create an additional Activity the child or parent will be checked in to. Name it “Nursery Check Out” or similar. Yes, for each child that is added to Nursery, you’ll also need to set them to “Nursery Check Out”.

Send in your scenario of how you use the Check In system, and an explanation of how you might use it differently to wishlist@powerchurch.com.
