3. Manage Access for Check-In

To access the EventMobi Onsite App, there are two options available:

1. Organizer Login: If you are already listed as an organizer for the event, you will automatically have access to the Check-In feature for all events within your Experience Organization. Simply log in using your Experience Manager credentials (email and password).
2. Via Access Code: In the Onsite App section of your Experience Manager, you can send invitations to individuals who will be managing the check-in process for your event. These invitations will be sent via email and will include a unique Access Code for logging into the Onsite App for the specific event.

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

• 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. 

View all Access Codes:
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. 

Resend Access Codes:
To resend invitation emails with the access code for the Onsite app to an individual, simply click on "Send Email" located on the right side.
If you need to resend multiple invitation emails at once, select the checkbox for each Staff Member you wish to resend the access code to, and then click on "Send Email" at the bottom of the page.


Remove Check-In Staff/Access Codes:
To remove a single access, simply click on the "Delete" option located on the right side of the Staff Member to revoke their access to the Onsite App.
If you need to delete multiple accesses, you can select the checkbox for all users you want to revoke access for and then choose "Delete (X) Users" at the bottom of the page.

4. Check-in Settings

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

Enable Kiosk Mode:
The Kiosk mode in the Check-In feature provides a convenient self-service option for attendees to check in and out on-site. Attendees can simply scan their unique QR Code from the Attendee Dashboard of the Event App or use the search option for a seamless process.

Kiosk Color:
When Kiosk Mode is activated, you have the option to choose a color for the Kiosk display. You can either input a HEX code for your desired color or simply click on the color picker icon to select a color visually.

Enable Check Out:
In the Settings tab, you can also enable the Check-Out feature if needed. This feature provides a deeper insight into attendee participation levels, allowing you to track how much time each attendee spent at the event and in individual sessions, rather than just their presence.

Enable Search by Name or Email:
Additionally, within the Settings tab, you can choose to enable a Search feature as an alternative method for attendees to check in and check out without using a QR code. By activating the search feature, users can easily locate their name or email address to complete the check-in or check-out process.

Profile & Success Screens:

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.

5. Using the Onsite App

Every individual responsible for managing the Check-In feature at your event must download the Onsite App onto a recent Apple or Android device that they will be using or providing for this purpose.

Organizer Login:
Organizers listed within the Experience Manager organization for the event will have automatic access to log into the Onsite App.

1. Choose the "Login with password" option when launching the EventMobi Onsite App.
2. Enter your email address and password associated with the Experience Manager on the following page, then click "Log in" to proceed.
3. Next, select the specific Event where you will be conducting Check-ins or Check-outs
4. Choose whether you will be checking attendees in for the main event or for specific sessions by selecting Event Check-In or Session Check-In.

Event staff members who have received invitations to the Onsite App via email can log in to the Onsite App by using the unique Access Code provided in the invitation email.

2. Enter your email address and Access Code provided in the invitation email on the following page, then click "Log in" to proceed.
3. Next, select the specific Event where you will be conducting Check-ins or Check-outs. If the staff member is assigned to only one event, this step will be bypassed automatically.
4. Choose whether you will be checking attendees in for the main event or for specific sessions by selecting Event Check-In or Session Check-In.

Onsite App Settings:
The hamburger menu located at the top left-hand side of the screen provides users with the option to adjust the language displayed on the Onsite App.

If there are multiple events with the EventMobi Check-In Feature available, users can switch between events by selecting "Event - Select Event" to navigate back to the list of events.

             

Using Attendee Check-In and Check-Out as an Organizer or Staff Member:

After logging into the Onsite App, you can easily check in or check out attendees by scanning their QR code, which attendees can access from the "My Badge" section of the Attendee Dashboard on the Event App or by using the search function, if this has been enabled in the Check-In settings of Experience Manager.

Once the check-in or check-out process is completed, a confirmation page will display important attendee information:

• Attendee name
• Pronouns
• Email address
• Company and Title
• People Groups that the attendee has been assigned to (Up to 3 People Groups are displayed by default; select the + icon to view all applicable groups for the attendee)
  
  

Using Self Check-In and Check-Out through Kiosk Mode:
Once Kiosk Mode is turned on in the Experience Manager's Onsite Settings, you can activate the Kiosk feature on a device being used onsite. Upon logging in, you can decide whether you will be checking in attendees for the main event or for specific sessions by choosing between Event Check-In or Session Check-In. To activate the Kiosk Mode for your device, simply follow these steps:

• Select the Kiosk option found in the bottom menu of the Onsite App
• Enter in a name that will represent the particular Kiosk you are creating (this will be represented in your event Analytics)
• Select the type of kiosk that you would like to create, Check-In or Check-Out
