Configure Event and Session Check-Ins via Scanning Follow

The Pathable native app can allow you to check people into the entire event, individual sessions, or both.

To enable check-in:

1. On the event Dashboard, navigate to SettingsCheck-ins.  If you don't see the Check-ins submenu item, contact your Pathable Implementation Specialist.
2. Select which options you'd like to enable:
   • Support check-ins to this event -- a single time-stamp, indicating when the user arrived at the event
   • Support check-ins to agenda sessions -- possibility to check attendees both in and out (check-out is optional), on a per-session basis
   • Allow attendees to check themselves in -- will generate a QR code for the session, that the attendees scan while in the session.

Next, indicate who should be allowed to scan users in, either manually or via spreadsheet import:

• Manually: 
  1. In People, select a user, then the Security tab
  2. Under Permissions, check the box for "Allow user to scan/check attendees into the sessions and the event."
• Via spreadsheet:
  1. Create a spreadsheet with two columns: The value for anyone who should be allowed to check people in is TRUE.  A blank, or the word FALSE, denies permission.
  2. Upload the spreadsheet to Data ImportPeople, mapping the email address to "Email" and the check_in_permission to "Allow Check-In Attendees."
