A Check-in is a form a Manager completes to assess a Trainee's skills in person. Check-ins are built into training Modules, so when a Trainee reaches a Check-in step, a facilitator needs to complete the form with them before the Module can be finished.
Facilitators complete or delegate pending Check-ins in the Opus Training app.
š” Not just Managers: While Managers usually facilitate Check-ins, any team member with the Complete all check-ins permission can facilitate a Check-in for another team member.

How to Facilitate a Check-in
Open the Opus Training app. You can find Check-ins in three places:
The Check-ins to facilitate row on the app home screen
The Check-ins to facilitate row on the Team tab
In your team member's profile
Tap the Check-in you need to facilitate.
Review the Check-in status before proceeding. Pending Check-ins show one of two statuses:
Ready for check-in: the Trainee has completed all required Module steps before the Check-in.
Not ready: the Trainee still has training to complete.
Complete the questions in the Check-in form.
If the Check-in has a passing requirement, mark it ā Pass or ā Try again. After you submit a Try again, you'll see Suggested next steps to share with the Trainee.
You might see optional or required note fields in certain steps, and fields for a photo or video upload.
Tap Submit.
Review completions in the dashboard on the Check-in's Reporting tab (select All attempts).
š” Facilitate from a profile: Search for someone's name in the app, open their profile, tap the Check-ins tab, and facilitate any pending Check-ins.

How to Delegate a Check-in
Hand a Check-in to another facilitator when you can't be there yourself.
ā ļø Opus Training app only: Delegating is only available in the Opus Training app, not the dashboard.
Tap the pending Check-in you'd like to hand off, from Check-ins to facilitate or the team member's profile.
Tap Delegate.
Select one or more facilitators, then tap Next.
The list only shows team members at the Trainee's Location who have the Complete all check-ins permission.
Under Frequency, choose how you'd like to delegate:
Delegate check-in only once for this trainee: applies only to this Check-in.
Set default facilitator for this check-in: that team member facilitates all future instances of this Check-in for Trainees at their Location.
Tap Delegate.
š” Pick the right option: Delegate only once for a single absence. Set a default facilitator only when that person should own the Check-in going forward.
FAQ
What happens if I try to delegate a Check-in to someone without the right permissions?
Only team members with the Complete all check-ins permission appear in the delegation list. Admins and Managers have this permission by default.
Why is a pending Check-in showing as "Not ready"?
If the Module's Order setting is In order, each earlier step must be finished before the Check-in becomes available. When this setting is off, Check-ins can be completed at any point in the Module.
What's the difference between delegating once and setting a default facilitator?
Delegating once only applies to the current Check-in. Setting a default facilitator means that person will automatically be assigned to facilitate all future instances of that Check-in for team members at their Location.
