The Check-In Console is the real-time interface for recording attendance during a service. It supports three modes — Lookup, Clicker, and Roster — and syncs instantly across all devices connected to the same service.

Getting Here

Navigation: Gather → Check-In → Select a Service

You can also start check-in from the Calendar page by clicking the “Start Service” button on a scheduled service, or by selecting an already-active service.

Overview

The console opens in “deep work” mode — the mega menu is hidden and replaced with a focused toolbar showing the service name, headcount, and mode selector. This minimizes distractions during check-in operations.

Modes

Lookup Mode

The default mode. Type a member's name, phone number, or email into the search bar to find and check them in. Results appear as you type. Click a result to check the member in immediately.

Clicker Mode

A simple counter for recording headcount without individual names. Useful for large services, overflow rooms, or when speed matters more than individual tracking. Click the “+” button to increment the count.

Roster Mode

Displays the full member roster in a scrollable list. Check members in by clicking the checkbox next to their name. Useful for smaller services or classes where you can see who's present.
