Check-in Badges
Security and name badge templates can be associated with different kiosks, groups, or ministry areas so each can have its own layout and information.
There are two types of badges available.
Security badge (Security ID selected)
- Prints a security code on the child’s badge.
- Prints a matching security-coded receipt for the guardian.
- Purpose: monitors match the child’s code to the parent’s receipt at pick-up, so a child is only released to the person holding the matching code.
- Typical use: children’s ministry, nursery, anywhere pick-up verification matters.
Name badge (Security ID not selected)
- Prints name and info only. No code, no guardian receipt.
- Can still include emergency contact information, allergies, custom profile fields, and so on.
- Typical use: adults, volunteers, older students, events where you just need to identify people.
Need a Badge for Each Group?
In addition to making a different badge for each ministry area or event, you can print a different badge layout for each group if you need that level of customization. You won't need a new kiosk for each group; just create a different badge template for each. Then, select the templates you tailored for them.
For example, you might want third graders' badges to include allergies, but that information isn't needed for tenth graders. You can select the information you want to appear on check-in badges and change the size of the printed lines. Once created, you can specify which badge templates to use for specific groups or ministry areas when you set up or edit your kiosks.
First: Create a badge template
Second: Associate your template with a kiosk, ministry area, or group
Example Badges
A badge with Security ID selected will also include security-coded receipts for guardians. Monitors can use them to match children with parents at pick-up time:
If you only need a name and info badge, do not select Security ID on the Add New Badge Template pop-up. Name badges can include emergency contact information, too. See Create a Badge Template.
