  3. The table is searchable and sortable. It can also be filtered by trade, meaning if the engagement will only be with carpenters, all of the carpenter records will be shown from any identified program participant carpenters in your account. They are easily added to the list, see example below. 
  4. To select a worker, select the ‘Add’ button, on the ‘Actions’ column of the table. When clicked on, the name of the worker will then appear on the ‘Selected Workers’ area.

    • NOTE: there is a maximum of 24 records that can be added on the list. If more than 24 workers need to be added, then the process would be done as many times as needed.
  5. Once the workers are added, select the date in which the engagement will take place. It can be past dates, but not future dates. Once the date is selected, the check-in button is enabled.
  6. When Check-In button is selected, a success message appears. Also, the check in will appear on the worker’s Engagement and Notes Record.
