Who this is for
This guide is for desk staff, managers, and owners who already have a member open and want to record that they trained without going to the Check-in desk.
You need the members.change permission.
Before you begin
- Open the member at the location where they train.
- Prefer Run front-desk check-in when several people are arriving at once; this path is best for one person already on screen.
Steps
- Open the member from Members, search, or a related link. You land on their Overview tab.
- Find the Check in action on the overview.
- Click Check in. While it saves, the button may read Checking in….
- Confirm the success state: PositiveForm toasts that the member checked in, or that they were just checked in if a recent visit already exists.
- When this session created the visit, an Undo check-in control appears so you can reverse a mistaken click. Do not undo a visit you did not create.
- Review Recent check-ins on the same overview for class or General check-in context and times.
Expected outcome
A staff-method attendance record is stored for the member. It appears in their recent check-ins and in the location’s Check-in history (Review attendance history).

Recovery
If Check in is missing or disabled, confirm your role has members.change
and that a location is selected.
If check-in fails, PositiveForm shows Check-in failed. Please try again. and does not invent a visit.
If you click Check in twice in quick succession, the second result may be the neutral This member was just checked in notice without a second undo control.
