Self check-in / check-out options
Self check-in and check-out options let conference delegates use the Attendee App to check themselves into the entire event, and in and out of sessions, functions and Agenda activities/breaks.
When these options are enabled, attendees open the Attendee App and select the Agenda item they'd like to check into (for example, a session). Depending on what's been set up for that session/function, they can check in by scanning a location QR code, or their app will be auto-detected by a nearby beacon.
Self check-in to the event and/or a function can also be done via a Self Check-in Kiosk. Read more about setting up a Self Check-in Kiosk.
If you want a function to appear in the Self Check-In Kiosk, you need to go to the Access Control tab in the Function setup, and check the box for "Enable Access Control" (along with any other relevant settings).
The Access Control tab in the setup of a session or function can also be used to filter for to only allow specific people or groups to have access, and to create a message to send to those who aren't permitted into the session or function.
Other check-in options
For Sessions: If you select "Scan via Access Control App/Organizer App” in the session setup, the Access Control App or Organizer App can be used by your onsite team to scan attendees' contact QR codes/ contact barcodes (either on a badge or from their app) as they enter / leave a session. This will check-in, or check-out, the attendee when they're scanned.
For Functions: If you select "Scan via Organizer App” in the function setup, the Organizer App can be used by your onsite team to scan attendees' contact QR codes/ contact barcodes (either on a badge or from their app) as they enter a function.
Setting up Check-In and Check-Out (sessions & functions)
You'll find these options in the Details tab of each Agenda item (sessions and functions). You can use different methods for check-in and check-out if needed:
Beacon - Enabling this option and setting up the required beacons allows for the attendee's presence (via their Attendee App) is automatically detected by the beacon when they're within range. If you're using beacons for both check-in and check-out, you need two different beacons.
Beacon Major ID and Minor ID - These are the beacon identifier details (unique to each beacon). Read more about using beacons.
Location QR Code - If using this method, you'd display the location QR code prominently near the entry and exit, so it can be scanned using the Attendee App.
Scan Via Organizer App [for Functions] or Scan via Access Control App/Organizer App [for Sessions] Check-in and check-out can be used to manage attendees accessing certain agenda items. This is not mandatory.
