+Self check-in
+------------------------------------------------
+
+In order to use the self check-in module, you must first set the :ref:
+`SelfCheckInModule <_selfscheckinmodule-label>` system preference to
+'Enable'.
+
+Then, you will have to :ref:`create a patron <add-a-staff-patron-label>`
+with the :ref:`self\_checkin\_module permission <granular-self-check-
+permissions-label>`.
+
+ **Note**
+
+ Create a :ref:`staff patron <add-a-staff-patron-label>` specifically for this
+ action so that you don't leave a real staff client logged into a
+ computer all day. You can give this patron only the aforementionned
+ permission so it cannot be used for anything else.
+
+Once this is done, you can head over to the self check-in page:
+http://YOUR\_KOHA\_OPAC\_URL/cgi-bin/koha/sci/sci-main.pl
+
+Log in with your staff patron with self check-in permissions
+
+Once the computer or kiosk is set and the self check-in user logged in,
+patrons will be able to check-in their items themselves.
+
+|image1331|
+
+The patron will either scan the item's barcode, if the computer is
+attached to a barcode scanner, or type in their item's barcode in the box
+and click 'Add' or press enter.
+
+ **Note**
+
+ Most barcode scanners will automatically hit return after scanning.
+
+Once they have scanned or entered all their items' barcodes, they can
+click on the 'Check-in' button to return all the items at once.
+
+ **Important**
+
+ If the patron doesn't click the 'Check-in' button, the items will not
+ be returned and will stay in their account.
+
+ **Important**
+
+ The self check-in module will not warn user if the item is late, if
+ they have fines, if the item is on hold for someone else, or if they
+ have messages in their account.
+
+|image1332|
+
+They can then click 'Finish' to return to the main self check-in page.
+
+|image1333|
+
+ **Note**
+
+ If the patron doesn't click 'Finish', the screen will refresh after the
+ timeout period specified in the :ref:`SelfCheckInTimeout <selfcheckintimeout
+ -label>` system preference.
+
+ **Note**
+
+ Even if the patron doesn't click 'Finish' the item will still be checked
+ in from their account.
+
+You can cutomize the look of your self check-in screens by using the
+:ref:`SelfCheckInUserCSS <selfcheckinusercss-label>` system preference or
+the :ref:`SelfCheckInUserJS <selfcheckinuserjs-label>` system preference.
+
+You can add content, like instructions on how to use the self check-in system
+for example, by using the :ref:`SelfCheckInMainUserBlock <selfcheckinmainuserblock
+-label>` system preference.
+
+Statistics about the transactions made through the self check-in module
+are logged into the action\_logs table in the Koha database. You can therefore
+:ref:`build a custom report <custom-reports-label>` to get the statistics you
+need.
