  1. Add a station

    In Check-Ins → Stations, add a station for each computer that will check people in or print. Open the link it gives you on that computer (or scan its QR code) and choose its printer.

  2. Choose a primary

    Mark one station as primary — usually the main welcome desk. Labels that another station cannot print are sent there.

  3. The desk

    Staff at a desk find a family by name or phone, check children in, print labels, and see arrivals and any printer problems as they happen.

  4. Kiosks

    A kiosk lets families check themselves in on a computer or iPad by the door. It clears itself after a minute with nobody using it, so the next family never sees the last one’s names.

  5. Test before Sunday

    Check in a test child at each station and print a label. Fix printing then, not with a line at the door.
