At the check-in computer select the *Register* button. 2. Enter the *Temporary Registration* number the center gave you. 3. Enter a 4-8 digit **Personal ID Number** (PIN) of your choosing. 4. Enter a 4-8 digit **Password** of your choosing. Note: The two numbers must be different than each other, and cannot be sequential (like 1234 or 4567) or repetitive (like 1111 or 2222). ## Checking your children in or out At the check-in screen select *Start Here*. ![image](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.procaresoftware.com/pdfs/Support+Site+Images/Desktop/Attendance+Tracker/Parent+Check+In+using+Person+ID+and+Password_122023_image+1.png) 1. Enter the *Personal ID Number* (PIN) you chose when you registered. 2. Enter the *Password* you chose when you registered. 3. Select the children to check in / out so the button says they “will be checked in” (or out).

Messages MUST be viewed before the check-in process can be finished. 2. If the center has used the option to “Automatically check children in” then you would select any children you did not want to check in or out. 1. Choose *Finish* (image above – bottom right). A confirmation screen will be displayed and the check in / out process is completed. ![image](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.procaresoftware.com/pdfs/Support+Site+Images/Desktop/Attendance+Tracker/Parent+Check+In+using+Person+ID+and+Password_122023_image+3.png)
