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.

  • With a Badge/Accreditation (can be printed) 👉 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 attendees of the event too. To do this, they must be listed as:

  • event administrators in the Settings section
  • attendees (registered or activated) in the Attendee List section

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