What is the check-in section and how is it configured?

In this article, we explain all the steps for you to carry out the control access for your event as efficiently and quickly as possible.

The check-in module is used to monitor the entries and exits of the attendees and determine the capacity of your event.

IMPORTANT❗All attendees must access the event with a QR code.

There are 3 possibilities:

  • Sent via email with the QR code.

  • Activating the Digital Accreditation QR module in the App. To activate the modules, refer to the article 👉 "How to configure modules?". If you don't have access to the App yet, get in touch with the Meetmaps sales team.
  • With a Badge/Accreditation. 👉 You can create it with the assistance of the Badge Builder Guide.

  • Activate check-in: ⚠️ IMPORTANT, you have to activate it to carry out check-in ⚠️.
  • Activate Counter mode: Add attendees manually to the capacity from the check-in APP without the need for prior registration. Acts as a digital clicker.
  • Maximum capacity: Specify the maximum capacity for your event per day.
  • Access to the event or a room: The article 👉 How to set up check-in by room? explains how to carry out this function.
  • Allow check-in in session without the need to do general check-in before: Perform check-in for specific sessions without the need to scan the QR code at the entrance of the event.

On the right side, you will find the readers 📲:

They are used to access the Check-in app with the devices that will scan the QR codes of the event (for example, for the hostesses in the access control).

When you create a reader, it provides you with a username and a password that must be used to log in to the Check-in app.

IMPORTANT❗ It is necessary to create a reader for each device that will be used.

NOTE 🗒️: Event administrators can also use the Check-in App to scan using their email and password, but they have to be attenndees of the event too.

From here, follow the Check-in App Guide 📲 to execute the access control for your event.
