# Special Check-In Employee at Maintenance Activity Order

:lock: MaintenanceActivityOrder.**SpecialCheckIn**

## Overview

This operation is used to check-in an **Employee** at a **Maintenance Activity Order** (**MAO**). The difference to the normal [[user-guide-check-in-at-maintenance-activity-order]] operation is that this is intended for users who are not currently logged in the application.

## Preconditions

* The **Employee** performing the check-in is Active and matches the **Employee** properties to which the Check-In applies.
* If the **Employee** to be checked in has the property Require Clock-In set to `true`, the **Employee** Clocked State must be Clocked-In.
* The **Employee** is not yet associated with the **MAO** or any other **MAO** in exclusive mode.
* The **MAO** exists, is Active, In Progress, and has the property Enable Check-In set to `true`.
* If the **MAO** property Restrict Check-In is set to `true`, the **Employee** can only be checked in using a **Certification** that meets the following conditions:
    * The **Employee** holds the **Certification** in either Active or Grace Period state.
    * The **Certification** is listed in the Maintenance Activity Personnel Requirements of the **MAO**.
    * The number of **Employees** currently checked in with that **Certification** is less than the Quantity specified in the Personnel Requirements. After the check-in, it may be equal to the defined Quantity, but never exceed it.
