To Check in, Click the colored Check In Button

You'll notice this volunteer has never been checked in as the description below their name indicates when they are expected to arrive.

Once a volunteer is check in, the Check Out button will then become active for when you are ready to check them out.

You'll notice this volunteer has been check in 1 time. Their last check in is listed and the time in parenthesis is how many hours ago has gone by since their check in. (This is also how many hours they would "Clock" if you checked them out now.
