Set up check-in

Check-in works out of the box. You do not have to configure anything before your first attendee arrives.

The default station

If you have not created any station profilesA saved setup for one kind of check-in desk. It decides what an operator sees and does at that station: which tools appear, whether badges print automatically and to which printer, and which queue the station works from. You create a profile once and reuse it on every desk of that kind., check-in uses a default one. Every step is available (look up the attendee, confirm their details, check what they ordered, check them in), and it has no hardware requirements. Open check-in in a web browser and start.

For how an operatorA staff member or volunteer running a station on the day. Operators usually sign in with a temporary session rather than a full admin account, and only see the tools their station needs. opens check-in and works a desk on the day, see Sign in and Check someone in in the At the door manual.

When to create a station profile

Create a station profile when you want to shape a desk beyond the default:

• Set up different kinds of desk (a priority desk, an escalation desk, a merch table).
• Turn individual steps on or off.
• Require a step, such as a “Checked ID” question the operator must answer.
• Attach specific hardware, like a badge printer or an NFC reader.
