It’s useful for dispatchers, team leads, safety managers, or anyone watching over field crews, because it makes it easy to spot problems fast and follow up before a small issue turns into an emergency. ### **What is the Check-in Dashboard?** The Check-in Dashboard is a page in the Everywhere Hub that helps you monitor scheduled and self check-ins for your team. It gives you a quick view of who has responded, who is late, and who needs attention. This dashboard is designed for **real-time operational awareness**, not long-term reporting. --- ### **How to Access the Check-in Dashboard** 1. Log in to the Everywhere Hub. 2. From the **Navigation Bar**, click **Check-in**. --- ### **Dashboard Overview** ![Recording 2026-01-06 092629](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Recording%202026-01-06%20092629.gif?width=670&height=397&name=Recording%202026-01-06%20092629.gif) ### **1. Check-in Summary Tiles** Along the top of the dashboard, you’ll see six tiles that summarize your check-ins by status for the last 24 hours. Each tile shows the current count for that status. Closed check-ins are excluded from these totals. ##### ![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-02-53-07-2632-PM.png?width=670&height=84&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-02-53-07-2632-PM.png) ##### Check-in Statuses - On-time - Device check-ins that were answered on time - Late - Device check-ins that responded to a check-in that was missed or escalated - Pending - Device check-ins that are unanswered - Missed - Device check-ins that are unanswered in the missed state - Escalated - Device check-ins that are unanswered and in the escalated state Other Check-ins - Self - Number of devices that created a self check-in & with self check-ins enabled --- ### **2. Search & Filters** The Check-in Dashboard can show a lot of information—so **Search** and **Filters** help you quickly narrow it down to the check-ins you care about. Use them when you’re trying to find one specific check-in, check on a certain device, or focus only on anything that needs attention. ##### ![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-02-53-49-8714-PM.png?width=368&height=281&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-02-53-49-8714-PM.png) #### Search Bar Use the Search bar in the **All Check-ins** section to quickly locate specific check-ins. You can search by: - **Check-in name** - **Device name** - **Device alias** (nickname) - **Device serial number** - **Creator name** (who made the check-in) #### Filters Filters let you “show only” certain types of check-ins. You can filter by: - **Type** - **Scheduled** check-ins - **Self** check-ins - **Needs attention** - **Unanswered** (someone hasn’t responded yet) - **Overdue** (someone responded late or the check-in is past due) - **Include Closed** - Turn this on if you want to see check-ins that are already **Closed** Tip: Search and filters work **together**, so you can filter down first and then search (or vice versa). --- ### **3. Check-In Summary** The main Check-ins table shows each parent check-in schedule that can expand to show the most recent child check-ins. ![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-12-56-5738-PM.png?width=670&height=112&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-12-56-5738-PM.png) #### Parent table columns - **Type** – Icon showing whether the check-in is **Scheduled⏱️** or **Self 🏔️**. - **Name** – The check-in name. - **Last** – The most recent time the check-in was sent (your timezone). - Shows **None** until the first child is completed. - **Next** – The next scheduled check-in to be completed (your timezone). - May show **None** after the final scheduled check-in. - **Creator** – The user who created the check-in. - **Status** – Overall status of the check-in (examples may include): - **None** (hasn’t started yet) - **Active (x)** (running with x active devices) - **Missed (x/x)** (devices missed / active devices) - **Escalated (x/x)** (devices escalated / active devices) - **Completed (x)** (all devices checked in) #### Parent row actions If you hover over the right side of the table, you’ll see actions including: - **Close** – Close a check-in (confirmation required). - **Edit** – Edit the check-in settings. - **Delete** – Delete a check-in (confirmation required). If you don't see these options see the Why can’t I edit this check-in? section at the end of this article. --- ### **4. Check-in Device Details** Click a **parent check-in** row to expand it. This opens the **check-in Details**, which includes: ![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/device%20check%20in%20details-png.png?width=670&height=303&name=device%20check%20in%20details-png.png) - A **Child Check-in** is a single occurrence within a parent schedule. - **Important:** The dashboard only shows the **most recent child check-in**, not full history. #### 1) Check-in Schedule & Summary  - ![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-34-40-9506-PM.png?width=310&height=70&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-34-40-9506-PM.png) For **scheduled** check-ins, you’ll see a schedule summary such as: - Created time (e.g., “Created X time ago by …”) - Days of week for recurrence - Repeat window (start/end time) - End date (if one is set) ![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-35-52-6777-PM.png?width=646&height=67&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-35-52-6777-PM.png) #### 3) Child Device Status Table (showing most recent) The table below shows the **most recent child check-in** for that parent. ![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-48-33-3826-PM.png?width=670&height=47&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-48-33-3826-PM.png) **Common columns and what they mean** - **Device** – Device icon/type.![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-48-59-6144-PM.png?width=23&height=21&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-48-59-6144-PM.png)![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-49-09-5548-PM.png?width=23&height=25&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-49-09-5548-PM.png)![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-49-17-2530-PM.png?width=23&height=26&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-49-17-2530-PM.png) - **Name** – Device name and identifiers (alias/serial/device ID). - Clicking the device name opens the device’s **General** page in a new tab. - **Status** – Device-level result for the latest child: Tip: Sorting by Status is the fastest way to find escalations and past-due devices. - - **Not Started** – Request has not been sent yet. - **Unanswered** – No reply yet (not currently in missed/escalated). - **OK – On-Time** – Replied on time. - **OK – Late** – Replied late (during missed/escalate timeframe). - **Missed** – No reply and in the missed timeframe. - **Escalated** – No reply and in the escalated timeframe. - **Inactive** – Device is inactive and did not receive the request. - **Hub Path** – How the Hub sent the request (ex: data vs satellite; may show dual path depending on settings). - **Device Path** – How the device reply was sent (ex: data vs satellite). - **Emergency Contact** – Emergency contact name. - Clicking opens to the device’s **Emergency Contacts** page in a new tab. - **Location Update** – Last location update timestamp. - **Location** ![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-59-26-3033-PM.png?width=26&height=22&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-59-26-3033-PM.png) – Location icon (if there is a last known location) or **N/A**. - Clicking the icon opens the **Device Location** page in a new tab. ![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-58-51-8930-PM.png?width=670&height=426&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-03-58-51-8930-PM.png) --- ### **Parent vs. Child Check-ins** - **Parent Check-in:** The overall schedule (e.g., “Valley Safety Check” every Monday at 8:30 AM). - **Child Check-in:** Each individual occurrence (e.g., today’s 8:30 AM check-in). --- ### **Recommended Workflows** - **Sort by Status** to find escalated or unanswered devices fast. - **Compare Hub Path vs. Device Path** to understand delivery and reply method. - **Click the location icon** for situational awareness. - **Use emergency contact links** for immediate outreach. --- ### **How to Add a New Check-in** 1. Click the **blue + button** ![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-04-48-45-1565-PM.png?width=63&height=58&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-04-48-45-1565-PM.png) in the bottom right of the dashboard. 2. Enter check-in name and team folder or individual device 1. Note: You can create a check-in with no devices added OR create a check-in with an active area. Adding devices is not required. 3. Optionally, type a message that will display if the check-in is received on the the physical inReach device & in the push notification for the check-in request within the app 4. Set missed and escalated timeframes. 5. Schedule your check-in the **Recurrence** section - Choose how often it repeats: **Daily**, **Hourly**, or **Every X minutes** (**15–60 minutes**) - Set what time it **starts** and what time it **ends** - Pick which **day(s) of the week** it runs - Choose a **start date** - Choose an **end date** (or select **No end date**) 6. If you would like to add an active area you can optionally upload a KML file or create a geofence yourself 7. Click **Send** when you are complete. 1. Once it runs, it generates a **child check-in** (the device-level results) that will appear when you expand the parent. ![](https://info.everywherecomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-06-2026-04-01-11-3182-PM.png?width=490&height=919&name=image-png-Jan-06-2026-04-01-11-3182-PM.png) --- ### **How to Edit an Existing Check-in** - Hover over the parent check-in. - Click the pen icon to **Edit** to change schedule or settings. - **Note:** Only the creator can edit or close a check-in. --- ### **FAQs** #### Why can’t I see older child check-ins? The dashboard shows **only the most recent child** for each parent check-in. Older child runs aren’t available from this view. #### Why did my check-in disappear unless I include “Closed”? Check-ins close automatically when the last child in the series is created. To find them again, turn on the **Include → Closed** filter. #### The page doesn’t fit on my screen—what should I do? 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. - [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
