Configuration Settings

You can customize and control many features of Check-In Suite using Configuration Settings. Review this list of Check-In Configuration Settings and make changes as needed.

Note: With great power comes great responsibility, so make changes carefully!

Station Setup

If you plan to use any of the Check-In Kiosk features at a manned or unmanned station, you need to set up the station and, if applicable, printers and Auto URLs.

Printer Mapping

If you plan to print remotely (not directly from the Check-In Kiosk station), you need to configure the printers.

Themes

Make sure you configured any themes you want. You can select a theme for each Check-In Kiosk. A theme consists of a customized background image, colors, logo, and more to "brand" the kiosk for users.

Events

Make sure you configure any events you want to display in Check-In Suite.

Groups

Make sure you configure any groups you want to display in Check-In Suite.

Rooms

Data Integrity

Combining duplicate records for the same individual.
Managing group participation including promotion.
