This article will cover how to use the normal check-in device for standard member check-ins and employee time tracking, as well as the option of using a separate device exclusively for time tracking.
Fast lane
- The normal check-in device can be used for both member and employee check-ins.
- The device automatically detects if a member or employee card is used and performs the appropriate action.
- For studios preferring a dedicated device for time tracking, a new device will be needed.
Using the normal check-in device
The normal check-in device in Magicline is versatile and can handle both member check-ins and employee time tracking without any adjustments. When an employee card is used, the device will automatically start time tracking, while a member card will proceed with the usual check-in process.
Pros:
- Cost-Effective: No need for an additional device.
- Convenient: Automatic detection and action based on the card type.
Cons:
- Immediate time tracking: Time tracking begins as soon as the employee checks in, which may not be ideal if the employee needs to get dressed or prepare before starting work.
Using a separate device for time tracking
For studios that prefer to have a dedicated device solely for time tracking, a new device can be acquired. This separate device will be used exclusively for employees to start and stop their time tracking sessions, providing more control over when the tracking begins and ends.
While this requires purchasing an additional device, it can offer more precise time management for employees who may not start their work immediately upon entering the gym. Remember to connect the new device into Magicline.
