How does 'Auto Check-In/Out' on Vome?
1. What is Auto Check-In and Auto Check-Out?
Auto Check-In and Auto Check-Out is a scheduling feature that automatically logs attendance without requiring any action from the user or an administrator.
When enabled:
The user is automatically checked in when the shift starts.
The user is automatically checked out when the shift ends.
No QR code, tapping, kiosk interaction, or manual hour submission is required.
2. How does it work?
If a user is scheduled for a shift and this feature is enabled:
At the exact start time of the shift, they are automatically marked as checked in.
At the exact end time of the shift, they are automatically checked out and hours are logged accordingly.
The system uses the scheduled shift time to determine the total logged hours.
3. When should we use Auto Check-In/Out?
This feature is ideal for organizations that:
Do not require real-time attendance verification
Do not need users to manually log hours
Have highly structured programs with confirmed participation
Have pre-assigned users and want hours logged automatically
4. Do users need to open the app?
No.
When Auto Check-In/Out is enabled:
Users do not need to open the mobile app
They do not need to scan a QR code
They do not need to tap check-in or check-out
They do not need to submit hour claims
Everything happens automatically based on the scheduled shift time.
5. How are hours calculated?
Hours are calculated based on the shift’s scheduled start and end time.
For example:
Shift runs from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
The user is automatically logged for 3 hours
The system does not adjust for early departure or late arrival when using this feature.
6. Does this override other check-in methods?
Yes.
When Auto Check-In/Out is enabled:
Manual tap-to-check-in
QR scanning
Proximity validation
Manual hour claims
are not required, because the system handles attendance automatically.
7. How do I enable or update this setting?
