To begin using a mobile device for check-in, simply follow the steps below. Please note you will need an available check-in license (or the Campus Edition) in order to use an iPad/tablet for check-in. If you need to purchase an additional license, or need any additional help, please contact us.

If you are planning on running Express Check-In (allowing parents to check-in via their iPhone), see our Express Check-In Tutorial.

Mobile check-in FAQ’s are available here.

Step 1: Install the App

In the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, search for “KidCheck”, and proceed to download the app onto your tablet.

Step 2: Sign In and License the iPad/Tablet

In order to run check-in, the iPad/tablet will first need to be licensed.  If you need to purchase an additional license, please contact us.

Open the KidCheck app, and enter your KidCheck username and password to login.

Android

After logging in, select Check-In > Licensing > select the blue circle with the plus sign > enter license name and select your campus (ensure that printing and active license buttons are enabled) > select the blue circle with the diskette icon.

iOS

After logging in, tap on Check-in > Use as Check-In Station > Create  > enter license name and select your campus (ensure that printing and active license buttons are enabled), and then tap Save.

Step 3: Start Check-in

Now that your iPad/tablet is licensed, starting check-in is quick and easy. Under the Check-in section (Check-In tab>Use as Check-in Station), tap on the template or program that you’d like to use for check-in. You’ll then be able to select which printer you’d like to use for printing labels.

In order for a label printer to appear in your list of available printers for check-in, it needs to either be connected to a KidCheck ExpressHub or original PrintHub, or be connected to a computer (either Mac or Windows based) that is on your network and has the KidCheck Client running in the background.  You are able to connect multiple label printers to the same KidCheck ExpressHub or computer.

Example Setup #1: a KidCheck ExpressHub (with two printers attached) and two tablets

 

Example Setup #2: one computer (with two printers attached) and two tablets

Note: if you want parents to check-in using their mobile device, you’ll need to activate Express Check-in and configure a KidCheck ExpressHub.
