In this article, we delve into the various settings of the Check-In App for a self-service terminal in the university/library that can be used for check-in/out and on-site registration.
Check-In / Check-Out
With the app, you can check-in and check-out students' bookings. This is especially helpful to maximise all available capacities and ensure that reserved spaces do not remain unused ("no Shows").

On-Site Booking / Registration

Mode: Personalised Registration & Check-In (Check-Out)

Choose the resources that can be booked
Online bookings can be checked in and local bookings can be registered simultaneously.
Multiple Tablets/Check-In Terminals:
You are welcome to set up multiple terminals and configure them differently. For example, check-in at the entrance and check-out at the exit.
Pro tip: You can also split the resource into two individual resources, one for on-site and one for advance bookings. Both resources can then also be made bookable via one and the same terminal, so that a fixed availability is reserved for on-site and advance bookings.
