Modified on Fri, 13 Oct, 2023 at 11:09 AM

Important! You can also check in resident without making a report. This article deals specifically with combining a control report, with checking in a resident!

In this article you can read more about creating a checkreport.


In this article, we will specifically discuss the added value of a check-in report. Basically, performing a check-in check is the same as that of a regular check. The only differences are:


  • The way it is stored: a check-in repot is stored under a different heading than regular checks. So you can distinguish between check-in checks and period checks. For this reason, a check-in check is also used as a kind of baseline check when you approach a property. You then immediately take pictures of all the 
  • Resident check-in: with a check-in report, you can check residents into both the home, and into the appropriate room. In a regular check-in, this is not possible.


You perform a check-in check by going to Location actions, then clicking on the actions tab, then check-in.


A field opens where you can start creating a control report.


Adding a resident to a location



You will first see a field at the top with the current residents. These are the residents who are already in the house. Below that you will see a field with Resident(s). Here you can add new residents to the house. When you click on the Choose Resident box, you will see a dropdown menu with all the residents that are in SIMA. You can also type in the name/mail address so you don't have to search through the list.




Want to add more than 1 resident? Then click on Add Row. An additional field will open where you can again select a resident.



Would you like to add a resident who is not yet in SIMA? Then you can also create it directly here by clicking the Create New Resident button. A field will open where you can enter all the details.



Are you done? Then click Create Resident This resident is added to the property, and is also saved directly in SIMA. Therefore, the next time you need to select the resident, you won't have to enter this information again.


Adding a resident to a room

In the step above, you added residents to a property, but you can also add them to a specific bedroom.


What you need to do for this is to first select the bedroom you want to control, and in which you want to check in a resident.



At the bottom of the report, in the Rooms tab, select the bedroom where you want to check in a resident. Then click on the plus sign. The check field opens. Read more about filling your control report and checking rooms here.



You will see at the top the current occupants of this bedroom. This may therefore differ from the occupants of the overall house. Are you missing residents in this overview? Then you can add a resident by clicking the choose resident field and looking for the correct resident, or create a new resident by clicking Create new resident. With these actions you place resident in bedrooms.
