Checking people in

Press Check in on the Bookings screen and a small dialog opens. It is designed to be used at a door, with one hand.

Scan a ticket or type its code, then press Enter.

Scanning

Any barcode scanner that types works: it enters the code and presses Enter for you. So does a phone camera app that copies the code. There is nothing to install.

The dialog then shows Check the details — who the ticket belongs to, which event and date, and which ticket type — and one of:

• Ready to admit — press to let them in
• Admitted with Checked in at {time} — this code has already been used

A link takes you to the full Booking details if something needs sorting out.

By name

If the queue is faster than the camera, use the door list instead: open the event's Attendees, search the name, and press Check in on the row. It leaves exactly the same mark.

Codes admit one seat

Each attendee has a code of their own, so a booking for four does not go in as one lump. Two people can arrive at eight and the other two at nine, and the count on the event knows the difference.

What it triggers

Checking somebody in fires the Attendee is checked in workflow, which knows who they are — enough to send a "welcome, your table is by the window" message if you want one.
