Staff Check-ins App Template

First-line staff in organizations typically need to communicate and check-in with their teams periodically with time-critical updates. Whether you run a construction business, landscaping, cleaning company, a delivery service, or any other business with field personnel, you need to provide your staff with an easy way to check-in with their latest status on their work. The Staff Check-ins is a Power App that provides a simple workflow where staff can check-in with a photo, location, and other details directly from Microsoft Teams With the app, managers or supervisors can get task updates or check-ins from employees on a schedule or an ad-hoc basis. The staff check-in can include real-time location, photos, and notes.
