# Auto checkin

The auto checkin button <img src="/files/Xj3wR1H5kJC3Gh2cEUYj" alt="" data-size="line"> opens up a page which allows you to automatically scan wristbands. On that new page you can edit a couple of settings on what you want the platform to do when it scans.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use this feature to automatically check in / out people with their wristbands.

* A laptop or computer stays on this page
* The search field is focussed (blue border)
* Configure the settings you need
* A wired handscanner can be configured with continuous scan, or scan manually
* Put your wristband under the laser to test
  {% endhint %}

**Check in / out**: What is the action the platform should do if a wristband is scanned right nog?

**Action if no visiting day**: Imaging you scan a wristband of a person that does not have a visiting day today, what do you want the platform to do?

* **Check in / out**: Check that person in or out, even if that person doesn't have a day today. This will be the only action done.
* **Add visiting day & check in / out**: Let the platform create a visiting day for this person today and do the check in or out action.
* **Don't check in / out**: Basically do nothing.

**Query**: This is the text field you have to activate (focus, select) to start scanning wristbands.
