Each check-in type has a different check-in schedule expectation, each type has its own pros and cons.
There are three types of Check-ins:
- Fixed Check-ins
Regulated, mandatory check-ins suited when control is more important than flexibility. - Flexible Check-ins
User controlled check-ins which provide flexibility and reduces management dependency. - All Broadcast Check-ins
Activity based check-ins which provide flexibility and early warning alarms of potential issue.
The key differences between the three check-in types are:
| Feature | Fixed | Flexible | All-Broadcast |
| Check-in Times | Fixed to specific check-in periods | Dynamic check-in intervals | Dynamic check-in intervals |
| Check-in Type | Manual (OK) | Manual (OK) | Any broadcast from the device |
| Check-in Interval |
