# Check-In Employee

:lock: Employee.**CheckIn**

## Overview

This operation is used to check-in an **Employee** at one or more Resources.

## Preconditions

* User has an associated **Employee** object which is active and matches the **Employee** for which the Check-In applies.
* If the **Employee** to be checked-in has the property Require Clock-In set, the **Employee** Clocked State must be Clocked-In.
* The **Employee** is not already associated with the **Resource**.
* The **Employee** is not already associated with any **Resource** in exclusive mode.
* **Resource** exists, is Active and it is of the Processing Type Process or Storage and has the property Enable Check-In set to true.

    !!! info
        You can activate the Enable Check-In property (and more) under the Personnel tab within the Resource page.

* If the **Resource** property Restrict Check-In is true:

    * The **Certification** on which the **Employee** is being checked-in must match one **Certification** defined in the Resource Personnel Requirements and the **Employee** must have that **Certification** in state Active or Grace Period.
    * If the value defined for the `/Cmf/System/Configuration/LaborManagement/RestrictedEmployeeCheckMode` system configuration entry is `LessOrEqual`, you cannot exceed the Quantity defined for a given **Certification**. This means that you can only select an Active Certification from the Resource Personnel Requirements if it is not yet complete. If it is complete, you may Check-Out another **Employee**. This option is only available if the **Resource** has the Employees Can Check-Out Others on Check-In property enabled.
    * If the value defined for the `/Cmf/System/Configuration/LaborManagement/RestrictedEmployeeCheckMode` system configuration entry is `None`, you can select any Active Certification from a Resource Personnel Requirements – either complete or not.
    * If the **Employee** is checking in on a particular **Certification** and the **Employee** is set as a Trainee on that Certification, a valid Trainer must be provided and meet the following criteria:

        * Any **Employee** listed as a Trainer on that Certification with a valid Certification (with State as Active or Grace Period).
        * If the Trainer has the property Require Clock-In set to `true`, the **Employee** Clocked State of Trainer must be Clocked-In.

## Sequence of Steps

The Check-In Employee wizard can be called from the **Resource** page within the Business Data Group, or from the Resource View in FabExplorer.

### Step 1: Position Selection

If the **Resource** has the property Is Restricted set to `true`, you must select on which position you are checking-in. A list of **Certifications** that you currently hold will be displayed and is available for selection. Choose the appropriate **Certification** and select **Next** to proceed.

2. If the **Resource** has the property Employees Can Check-Out Others On Check-In set to `true`, you can select an **Employee** who is already checked-in to replace their current position.
3. Select **Check-In** to complete the wizard.
