The dashboard is designed for a larger screen (commonly 1920×1080 minimum). If it looks cut off, check: - your screen resolution - your browser zoom level (type "Ctrl" & "-" to zoom out) #### Why doesn’t refresh immediately change the numbers? In some setups, the summary can be cached briefly. If the summary was updated within the past few minutes, a manual refresh may not immediately pull new data.  #### Why can’t I edit this check-in? Common reasons include: - the check-in is **Closed** - it’s a **Self** check-in - you’re trying to edit a **Start Date** (not editable) - you’re trying to set the **End Date** in the past (not editable) - you're trying to remove the Active Area. Active area cannot be removed when Editing a check-in. ### Related Articles - [Check-ins Overview in the Hub](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/how-to-use-the-check-in-dashboard?hsLang=en) - [Check-in Dashboard Overview](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/how-to-use-the-check-in-dashboard?hsLang=en) - [Getting Started](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Welcome to EVERYWHERE](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#welcome-to-everywhere) - [Device Activation](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#device-activation) - [Connectivity & Pairing](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#connectivity-pairing) - [First-Time Admin Setup](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#first-time-admin-setup) - [Field Devices & App](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/field-devices-app?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Messaging](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/field-devices-app?hsLang=en#messaging) - [Notifications & Alerts](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/field-devices-app?hsLang=en#notifications-alerts) - [Tracking & Location](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/field-devices-app?hsLang=en#tracking-location) - [SOS Basics (User View)](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/field-devices-app?hsLang=en#sos-basics-user-view) - [Device Guides](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/field-devices-app?hsLang=en#device-guides) - [Check-ins](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/field-devices-app?hsLang=en#check-ins) - [Hub for Admins](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/hub-for-admins?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Device Management](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/hub-for-admins?hsLang=en#device-management) - [Alerts & Notifications](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/hub-for-admins?hsLang=en#alerts-notifications) - [Tracking & Location](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/hub-for-admins?hsLang=en#tracking-location) - [Reports & Analytics](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/hub-for-admins?hsLang=en#reports-analytics) - [Features](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/hub-for-admins?hsLang=en#features) - [User & Device Management](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/hub-for-admins?hsLang=en#user-device-management) - [SOS & Safety](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/sos-safety?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Initiating SOS](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/sos-safety?hsLang=en#initiating-sos) - [Cancelling SOS](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/sos-safety?hsLang=en#cancelling-sos) - [SOS Escalation Flow](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/sos-safety?hsLang=en#sos-escalation-flow) - [Testing SOS & Signal](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/sos-safety?hsLang=en#testing-sos-signal) - [Safety Best Practices](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/sos-safety?hsLang=en#safety-best-practices) - [Knowledge & Resources](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/knowledge-resources?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FAQs](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/knowledge-resources?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Quick Help](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/knowledge-resources?hsLang=en#quick-help) - [Integrations](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/knowledge-resources?hsLang=en#integrations) - [Billing](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/knowledge-resources?hsLang=en#billing) - [Announcements & Updates](https://info.everywherecomms.com/knowledge/knowledge-resources?hsLang=en#announcements-updates) [![EVERYWHERE\_logo\_Color\_Connected-1](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/EVERYWHERE_logo_Color_Connected-1.webp?width=250&height=45&name=EVERYWHERE_logo_Color_Connected-1.webp "EVERYWHERE_logo_Color_Connected-1")](https://everywherecomms.com/) Copyright © 2026, EVERYWHERE Communications
