#### Check-In

The Check-In link allows the user to search for evidence or held property to Check-In. The Evidence/Held Property Search screen defaults to search on Pending Check-In, but you can also search on Checked-Out for purposes of checking it back in.

Enter your search criteria then click Search. Or if you are equipped with a barcode scanner, click the Barcode Search button to search records by scanning the barcode.

The Check In Search Results screen appears.

Check the box on the left of the record you want to Check In then click the Continue button to display the Check In screen. (You may select multiple records for mass check-in.)

Choose the Type from the drop-down list.

Choose the Location from the drop-down list.

Note: The Location values are filtered based on whether the item is evidence or held property.

Add a Description and Comment for each item as required.

If you wish, you can also add additional evidence items to the Check In list by clicking on the Add Evidence button on the top right of the screen. The Add Evidence / Held Property button takes you back to the Evidence/Held Property - Check In screen. Follow the same process as above to search and select the Evidence you want to add then click Continue. The additional Evidence is then added to the Check In list.

Make other changes if needed, then click the Signature button to sign if necessary.

Note: RMS now supports dual to/from signatures for both parties involved in evidence transfers (where applicable). A user may also configure a PIN (Personal Identification Number) by editing their profile and then entering a PIN to enter their signature. Only the person whose PIN is being created may log in and create their PIN. If the agency uses the signature capture field for Quick Pending Check In, those signatures can now be captured on screen.

Click Save & Exit to save your changes and exit the page.

Note: If you are not in a Multi-tier Organization, the Status will default to Check-In and the Location will default to the previously checked in location, if it exists.

Note: An Evidence Custodian taking action on an Evidence Pending Check-In notification will default the Location to the previously checked in location, if the Status is set to Check-In.

Note: Qualified administrators may set the EVIDENCE_DELETE_FROM_INCIDENT maintenance value from Y to N. Set to Y to delete evidence when property is deleted from an incident. Set to N to maintain the evidence record when property is removed from the incident.

Note: Qualified administrators may also configure the maintenance value so that evidence is expanded out to show processing when it is checked in.
