How do I conduct Session Check-Ins in the PheedLoop Go! Event App

Session check-in is a feature that helps event managers tabulate who has checked into a specific session at an event. This is used to help validate whether someone has actually attended the session for CE tracking purposes. This can also be used to help manage restricted access to sessions.

There are two ways to use session check-in:

1. Having a volunteer or staff scan an attendee's PheedLoop printed badge
2. Having attendees check themselves in via the Self Check-in feature within the PheedLoop Go! App

In both cases, the PheedLoop Go! Event App Module and On-Site Check-In Power-Up is required.

Scanning Attendee Badges for Session Check-In

1. Login to the PheedLoop Go! App with a team member account    
   1. Team members can be added via the settings area of your Event Dashboard. Please note that you can be logged into multiple devices with the same team member account if required.
   2. Quick tip - Consider assigning a tag with scanner privileges to attendees. This allows you to assign scanners without having to make them a team member. For instructions on how to create and assign scanner tags, please read the section below.
2. Click into the top left corner of the event app to unveil the Event Admin Tools and select Scanner

3. At the top of the new page, select Session Check-In

4. Under the Please select a session field, select your session from the dropdown menu

5. Select Launch Scanner

6. Using your camera, scan the attendee's badge to check them into the room
   1. Quick tip - if you turn on the Automatic Mode toggle, you will be able to scan individuals into the room quicker
7. If you are looking to restrict people from certain sessions - toggle on the Restrict to Pre-Registered checkbox on the Session Check-In page
8. If an attendee needs to leave a session early you can turn on the Check-Out Mode toggle and scan their badge

Assigning Scanner Tags

Before members can start scanning, they will need to be assigned a scanner tag. This tag gives them access to the Event Tools in the Mobile Event app.

To create a scanner tag

1. From the Event Dashboard, navigate to Attendees > Tag
2. Above the Tag list, select Create

3. Scroll down to Advanced Options
4. Toggle on the Is Scanner checkbox
5. Select Save Changes

To assign a scanner tag

2. Select the attendee you wish to adjust from the list

3. Scroll down to Tags
4. Under Connected Tags, select scanner tag you have created
5. Select Save Changes

The attendee will now be able to see the Scanner from the Event Mobile App when they select the hamburger icon at the top left corner of their screen.
