Self Check-In
Self check-in, where app users can check in using their own device, is also available if you choose to link to it. This can be helpful for very large events where you don't want people waiting in long lines at check-in stations. However, it's based on the honor system, so be sure you trust your attendees to mark themselves present only if they actually attend.
Configuring Self Check-In
To allow for self check-in, you just need to link to it – usually from a Dashboard recipe. Contact Support to get the recipe you'll need. Then, on the appropriate Event record(s), set the following fields to Yes: Allow Self Checkin, Approved, and Web Approved.
Using Self Check-In
App users can access self check-in from the Dashboard link you set up. Once they click the link, they can check themselves in as attending either in person or online. The Head of Household can check in family members as well. Once checked in, the Event Participant records are created for that event. If they marked themselves as attending online, the Attending Online field is set to Yes on their record.
