Should you enable General Check-in/Check-out or Shift Check-in/Check-out? This article explains what each does.
Manage Check-In and Check-Out Settings
To manage check-in and check-out settings:
From the navigation menu, click Opportunities.
Search for and select an opportunity.
In the opportunity navigation menu, click Controls, and then click Time Tracking.
Do one of the following:
In the General Attendance section, turn on or turn off General Check-in/Check-out. Read more about this setting.
In the Shift Attendance section, turn on or turn off General Check-in/Check-out. Read more about this setting.
General Check-in/Check-out
General Check-in tracks overall opportunity attendance rather than scheduled shifts.
When you turn on this setting, volunteers must check themselves in or a manager must check them in to the opportunity.
Shift Check-in/Check-out
Shift attendance tracks attendance on a shift-to-shift basis. When you turn on this setting, volunteers must check themselves in or a manager must check them in to individual shifts.
We recommend this option if you want to keep track of any holes in your schedule.
Attendance Reports
Both the Shift Attendance and General Attendance settings have associated reports that track general or shift attendance details
