Using the Check In Portal
The Check-In tool in Empower is built to give you both data and peace of mind. Check-In takes attendance for the selected events and also gives the option to print name tags for attendees and pick-up receipts for guardians.
Empower is built to work with multiple brands and models of label printers making it one of the most versatile check-in systems on the market today.
In this article, we will walk through the elements of the Check-In tool.

Dashboard
After clicking on the Check-In tool in the Top Menu, it will load the Check-In Dashboard.
This Dashboard will be the screen that we will begin all check-in processes from.
To return to the dashboard from another page in the Check-in system, simply click on the Empower ChMS logo in the top left corner of the screen.
Activities
The first thing that we will take not of are the Activities that are listed on the Dashboard.
These are all of the activities that currently allow you to check-in attendees.
If you are attempting to search for an event that is not currently listed, you will need to check the settings for that event on the Membership>Activities page in the Check-In profile field.
This is also where you will determine whether a label will be printed for checkin, bags are tagged, and more.
Search for Households…
This search bar is located just under the Dasboard title and above the Activities.
This is the best place to begin your Check-In process.
