Deny Entry / Block Check In / Prevent Check In


Article Summary

Use the Deny Entry feature to prevent a child from being checked in by any of their assigned authorized pick up people.

Note: This feature is not compatible with attendance entered from the Engagement website or child care mobile app.

Purpose

This prevents ALL authorized pick up people from checking the child in, however, a staff member could still check them in either manually on the Child Time Card or using a procedure like Batch Check In or Receptionist Check In. If your intent is to block a particular pick up person (such as with divorced parents) just uncheck the Pickup box for that person on the Child Information & Relationships screen instead.

Getting There

From the main screen of Family Data & Accounting click Functions > Attendance Tracker > Deny Entry.

To Block / Prevent / Disable Check In

  1. Place a check in the Deny column for the appropriate children.
