The Session Self Check-In feature allows event organizers to set up secure, camera-equipped devices (such as tablets or laptops) that attendees can use to check themselves into specific sessions, workshops, or activities that have been added to a Schedule.
This eliminates the need for manual attendance tracking and speeds up on-site registration and session access.
What Is Self Check-In?
Self Check-In uses device configuration profiles and the Schedules section of the Event Manager App to automatically record attendee participation.
Once configured, attendees can check in by scanning their unique QR code or entering their confirmation code on the device’s Self Check-In screen.
Organizers can monitor real-time attendance counts and view detailed attendee check-in lists directly in the Event Manager App.
Key Benefits
Faster Check-Ins: Attendees can quickly check in themselves without staff assistance.
Flexible Setup: Works on any web-connected device with a camera.
Secure Access: Organizer-only PIN protects configuration settings.
Real-Time Tracking: Attendance updates instantly in the Event Manager App.
Reusable Devices: Devices can be configured for multiple sessions or activities.
