The Check-In Kiosk adds valuable functionality to Events. This section of the Check-In Suite application allows you to quickly and easily manage event check-in, automatically print nametags, add and edit individual and family information, have event attendance automatically communicated to the MinistryPlatform database in real time and much more.

To facilitate cleaning, you can configure your kiosk screen to "lock" for 8 seconds between each check in. If configured, a Clean Screen button will appear in the bottom corner of the check-in screen.
If the Clean Screen button is selected, the touchscreen will be disabled for 8 seconds.
A countdown timer will be displayed.
At the end of the countdown, the screen will return to the check-in screen and the touchscreen will be reenabled.
The Clean Screen button will inherit the Button C Theme settings
If configured the Clean Screen button will appear in both attended and unattended modes.
Note: The Clean Screen option will default to True. To disable the Clean Screen option, go to Administration > Configuration Settings and set CIM,ShowCleanScreen to 'False.'
