Checking In at the Volunteer Kiosk

USER GUIDE

St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church · VolunteerHow to check in for your Mass or shift at the tablet by the door, with no sign-in.

Who this guide is for

You are scheduled to serve at a Mass or a volunteer shift, and your coordinator put a check-in tablet at the door.

Why you check in at the door

Your check-in tells your coordinator that you arrived. They can see at a glance who is here and which position is still empty, without asking anyone.

What you will do, in one sentence

At the tablet, tap your name, check that it is you, and tap Check in.

This guide has not been verified against the running system yet. The kiosk shows the people scheduled for one Mass or one shift only. Prepared 2 November 2026.

1. Find your name​

The tablet shows the name of the Mass or the event, the date, and the time. Below that, it lists every person who is scheduled. Each name shows a first name and the first letter of the last name, with the position under it.

  1. Find your name on the list.
  2. If the list is long, type part of your name in Find your name.

A name that shows Checked in is already done. You cannot tap it again.

2. Check in​

  1. Tap your name.
  2. Read the question Check in as with your name. Make sure it is you.
  3. Tap Check in. If it is not you, tap That is not me and go back to the list.
  4. Read the message Thank you. Your check-in is recorded.
  5. Tap Done, or wait a few seconds. The tablet goes back to the list for the next person.
Check-in opens on the day of service

The tablet lists the names before that day, but you cannot tap them. Come back on the day you serve.

3. Print a name badge​

Some coordinators turn on name badges. Then the thank-you message shows Print my name badge.

  1. Tap Print my name badge.
  2. Print the badge on the printer that the coordinator set up.

The badge shows your first name, the first letter of your last name, and your position.

4. Quick reference card​

The whole thing, in three lines​

  1. Tap your name.
  2. Tap Check in.
  3. Tap Done.

When to stop and ask​

  • Your name is not on the list.
  • The tablet says This kiosk link is not open.
  • The tablet says We could not check you in, and a second try does not work.
  • You checked in as the wrong person by mistake.

Your coordinator — the person who runs the Mass schedule or the event. They can correct a check-in on the roster.
