They can be configured to ensure a user performs a check-in at regular intervals. If the user fails to check in within the specified time, a red flag alert will be triggered. 1\) Click on the Services icon in the top-right corner of the screen and select Reports. ![](https://support.vismo.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360012055458.png)![](https://support.vismo.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360011972837.png) 2\) Select Active Assignments.
