Summary: Learn how to restrict an event's check-in roster so that only members of a specific associated group appear as options. This is a great way to streamline attendance for small groups, classes, and private team meetings.
Before You Begin
Associated Groups Required: To use this setting, your event must be linked to an existing group in your database.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Updating an Existing Event
Navigate to your Events page and select the event you want to update (e.g., "Children's Bible Study").
Click on Edit Event Settings.
Ensure the event is successfully linked to an Associated Group.
Locate the Eligible People and Check-in section within the settings menu.
Select the option for Group members only.
Save your settings. When you launch Check-in for this event, the roster will now be strictly limited to the members of that specific group.
Creating a New Event
Navigate to your Events page and select the option to create a new event (e.g., "Adult Bible Study").
Enter your standard event details and ensure you assign an Associated Group.
Locate the Check-in settings block.
Select the Group members only option.
Save your new event. When the event begins and you open Check-in, the system will only display the individuals belonging to that associated group.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
Why don't I see the option to limit check-in? The "Group members only" option relies on the event being linked to a group. Double-check that you have selected an "Associated Group" in your event settings first.
What happens if someone new shows up to the group? If you have limited the check-in strictly to group members, a new visitor will not appear on the immediate check-in roster until they are officially added to the associated group.
