Group Check-in
Overview
By activating the Group Check-In feature for a Group, each system in the Group will have a Check-In button on the touchscreen. Residents use this Check-In button by pressing it during a designated time range each day. Using the Online Care Portal, the community's care staff can see who has and has not checked in, and follow up accordingly.
NOTE: Activating the Group Check-In feature will replace any On-Screen Action Buttons that may have been configured for all systems in the group.
