Ongoing Activity Check-ins

A guide of the different check-in options available during an ongoing activity.

To perform a check-in, press 'Check-In' in the app and select one of the available options. A 'Check-In Successful' screen confirms each submission, and all check-ins reset recurring timers. Check-ins allow users to update supervisors on their current activity and share important information. Each check-in appears as a dot on the journey map, with its own timeline event showing the recorded data.

Check-in Options: Quick Summary

The following check-in options are available in the app:

  • Note: Compose a written message.
  • OK: Quick 'I am OK' confirmation.
  • #waypoint: Location-specific check-in labelled as #waypoint.
  • #meeting: Indicates a meeting.
  • #break: Indicates a break.
  • Flight: Check-in with your flight number.
  • Scan: Scan and send QR code details.
  • Photo: Send a photo.

Are Third-Party App Integrations Available?

Depending on your organisation's settings additional check-in options via third party apps may be available:

  • Zoleo: Perform a check-in with your Zoleo device/app
  • AlertMeter: Perform a check-in via the AlertMeter app

Timer Extensions in Check-in Notes

For Countdown and Time of Day activities, a Check-in option that includes a note can also optionally include a timer extension.

Users can extend the activity timer using the conventional options:

  • +15 minutes
  • +30 minutes
  • +1 hour
  • Set Timer (to a specific time)

Time and Mileage

Check-ins can be toggled to record a time and mileage leg. Finished activities that contain time and mileage legs will create a time and mileage report. These reports show the locations, duration and distance between legs. This is part of the Fieldwork module of GetHomeSafe. 

How Do I Check In Without an Internet Connection?

If you attempt to check in without an internet connection, the app will guide you to complete your check-in offline.

When you select the offline check-in option, the app will automatically generate a pre-formatted code and open your device's messaging application. After you send the message, you will receive a link in response. Tap this link to confirm your check-in and return to the app, where your check-in will be recorded.
