To make local check-ins mandatory for employees, turn on the Local Check-Ins Only setting and set up on-site check in methods. The Local Check-Ins-Only setting turns off all other desk check-in methods. Employees must be at the office to confirm their seats.
If you turn on this setting, set up at least 1 of these local on-site check-in methods:
- Automated check-ins with WIFI connection
- Badge swipe check-ins with an access control integration
- Scan QR codes/NFC tags on desks
Enable the Local Check-Ins Only setting
You can turn on this setting for whole office buildings or for specific desk groups.

Desk check-in reminders
When “Local-Check In only” is on, users get a check-in reminder 30 minutes after their reservation starts. When this setting is off, users get a reminder at the start of the Remote Check-In window.
Warning
The Local Check-In Only policy does not apply to desk reservations that already exist. It applies only to reservations made after you turn on the policy.
