Check In Attendees Through the Admin App

The Admin App allows event admins and staff to check in attendees while on the go. Instead of setting up a computer or laptop at the event venue, you can use your smartphone or iPad to check in attendees. You can also set up an iPad Kiosk, allowing attendees to check in by searching for their information or scanning their QR code.

To use this feature, download the Admin App to your iOS or Android device. You must also have admin or staff access to the event.

Notes:

  • Please ensure you install the latest app version to see the latest updates.

  • For in-person events, logging in to the Attendee App does not count attendees as checked in to the event. Attendees must check in at the event venue via Kiosk or staff assistance.

  • Recurring events do not work with the admin app - you cannot sell tickets or check in attendees.

  • The Dashboard and Summary tabs are hidden from team members with Staff access.

Access the Event Check-In Page in the Admin App

The steps to get to the event check-in page are a little different when accessing through an iPad and mobile phone. Follow these steps to get to the event check-in page.

iPad

Mobile

  • Login to the iPad Admin App

  • Choose the event from the Active Events page.

  • Select Event Check In

  • Login to the Mobile Admin App

  • Choose the event from the Active Events page.

  • Select Event Ticketing & Check In

  • Select Check-in

  • Select Event Check In

Event Check-In Through Attendee Search

On the Event Check-In page, search for the attendee through the search bar or scroll down to see the attendees list. Then, click the "ATTENDING" button next to the attendee's name. The button should change to "CHECKED IN" and turn green with a check mark after checking in the attendee. This will not automatically print the badge, and you'll need to click the Print Badge button to start printing.

Event Check-In Through QR Code Scanning

If the attendee has provided the QR code, click the green QR scan icon at the bottom to scan the QR code. The frame will turn green to indicate that the check-in is successful. If you search for the attendee on the event check-in page, you should see that the button says "CHECKED IN."This will not automatically print the badge; you'll need to click the Print Badge button to start printing.

Notes:

  • The Mobile (not iPad) Admin App has an Offline Mode that lets you check in attendees even if you encounter internet connection issues. Attendees are automatically checked in once your connection is restored. Click here to learn more about Offline Mode.

  • If you have assigned seating enabled, the seat number will appear at the bottom of the screen after scanning the QR code. This is also available in the Kiosk.


Event Check-In Through the Kiosk

If you're using an iPad, there is an additional feature called Kiosk Mode in the admin app, which, when enabled, will allow attendees to check in on their own by scanning their QR code or entering the information.

On the same Event Check-In screen, click the "Activate Kiosk Mode" button.

Once in Kiosk Mode, attendees can select whether to check in by QR code scanning or entering their information. Once they are checked in, they can also print their event badge.

While in Kiosk Mode, attendees won't have any access to the other features of the admin app. You will be required as an admin to enter the Kiosk PIN to exit kiosk mode.


Edit the Ticket Holder Details

Event admins and staff can edit ticket holder details in the admin app before checking them in and printing their badge.

  • Login to the Mobile Admin App

  • Choose the event from the Active Events page.

  • Select Event Ticketing & Check In

  • Select Check-in

  • Select Event Check In

  • Select the Ticket Holder whom you would like to edit

  • First Name, Last Name, and Email Address can be edited

  • Click Save to apply the changes
