How Do I Check In Attendees Onsite?

Our Attendee Check In feature helps to support your in-person and hybrid events by allowing your team to keep track of who is attending the event. 

Using our Onsite App, your team can manually check attendees in or out of the event and sessions, or you can offer a Kiosk Mode to allow attendees to complete self check in/out. 

Adding People

Before you can begin using the Check In feature, you will need to define a list of People who will be attending the event. This will determine who can be checked into and out of your event or sessions. 

To create your People list, add profiles to the People Library using one of the following methods: 

  • Add profiles manually using the Add Person button
  • Add profiles by importing our Excel Template
  • Sync profiles from your registration or another integration

Setting Up Your Check In 

Within the Onsite App area of your Experience Manager, you will find an option for Check In where invitations can be sent to anyone you are looking to have manage the check in process for your event. 

Check In invitations will be sent via email, and will provide the recipient with a unique Access Code that can be used to log into the Onsite App for the event. Those that are already listed as an organizer for the event will automatically have access to the Check In feature for any events that are listed within your event, and can log in using their Experience credentials (email and password).

Note: Invitations to access the Onsite App will need to be sent on a per event basis. 

Sending Invites to the Onsite App

  • Open the Onsite App menu to access the Check In option
  • In the Users tab, select the Invite button
  • Input the Email Address of the person that you would like to invite, followed by the language that the invitation should be sent in

Check In Invite

Once an invite has been sent, an email will be received to the email that you had indicated. This email will include an Access Code that will need to be used to log into the Onsite App to access the Check In feature. 

Access Code

Organizers within the Experience Manager will have access to see the Access Codes that have been assigned by selecting the Eye Icon available. Additional options to Send Email and Delete will be available to assist you with resending or removing access to the invitation as needed.

Setting the Check In Options

In the Settings tab of the Check In area of Experience, you will find additional options to help in customizing the Attendee Check In feature that will be used for the event. 


Kiosk Mode 

The Kiosk mode of your Check In feature allows you to offer a self service option for your attendees to complete the check in/out process onsite. This can be done by scanning their unique QR Code available from the Attendee Dashboard of the Event Space or using the search option available. 

Your Kiosk mode can be enabled and customized from the Settings area of the Check In page located under Onsite App of the Experience Manager.

Check Out 
Within the Settings tab you will also find an option to Enable Check Out if applicable. Making use of this feature will help to give you better visibility into your participation levels (rather than just attendance) by allow you to see how much time each attendee spent at the event and your individual sessions. 


Search by Name or Email 
Finally, the Settings tab will allow you to enable a Search option that can be used in place of a QR scan for check in and check out. 

Note: The QR Code option will still be available when the Search option has been enabled - this feature is meant to act as a secondary means of checking attendees in or out of the event/sessions. 


Profile & Success Screen

This area of the Settings page is where you can enable the option to Show People Groups from the profiles and confirmation screens display when using the Onsite App. 

When the Show People Groups checkbox is enabled, the Group information will display only  for those that have been given access to manage the Onsite App at the event.
