In order for a Check-In to be active, a station/session must be active. To avoid having to physically go to the church building and start the check-in stations, set up an automatic startup schedule. This will allow for an automatic start-up and end for a check-in station/session. This feature is most helpful for [Text-to-Church](https://help.churchteams.com/knowledge/how-to-setup-and-start-text-to-check-in?hsLang=en) and [All-Check](https://help.churchteams.com/knowledge/how-do-i-set-up-all-check-allowing?hsLang=en). ![Screenshot 2026-04-29 140932](https://help.churchteams.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-04-29%20140932.png?width=670&height=399&name=Screenshot%202026-04-29%20140932.png) To set up an automatic schedule, go to **Check-In \> Views/Settings**. Click the ![](https://help.churchteams.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-04-29%20135637.png?width=91&height=26&name=Screenshot%202026-04-29%20135637.png) button under the section titled "Automatic Startup Schedule." Insert the name of your Printer station you will be using for Check-In, or if you will not be using one, just enter any name such as "Any Printer" with the understanding that no labels will actually print. Set the appropriate day of the week, Check-In View to be used, and a start and end time. Click Save. Now your Check-In is set up and ready to go!
