Event Check-In/Out Explanation
Announced by President Fiso
📝 JS Check-In & Check-Out System
The JustServe Check-In and Check-Out System is a digital tool designed to track volunteer attendance and participation at service events. It allows volunteers to quickly check in when they arrive and check out when they leave, while automatically recording their service information. This Check-In/Out system is only for Students until further notice. Staff must check out the Google Sheet in order to configure events.
⚙️ How the System Works
1. Volunteer Check-In: When volunteers arrive at a JustServe event, they visit the Check-In page and enter their school email address.
The system then:
- Searches the event registration database (stored in a Google Sheet).
- Displays the event information.
- Records the time they checked in.
This ensures the system knows exactly when the volunteer started serving.
2. Volunteer Check-Out: When volunteers finish serving, they go to the Check-Out page and enter the same school email address.
The system then:
- Looks up their event record again.
- Records the check-out time.
- Calculates the total service time based on the difference between check-in and check-out.
This helps organizers accurately track volunteer hours.
3. Benefits of the System: This system helps event organizers by:
- Tracking accurate volunteer hours
- Removing the need for paper sign-in sheets
- Preventing duplicate or incorrect records
- Making check-in and check-out fast and simple
It also allows organizers to easily export or review service data directly from the spreadsheet.
