Configure Event Check-In settings at the event level

The Event Check-In feature allows you to track attendance by marking participants as "checked in" when they arrive at your event. You can customize the check-in process to match your event's specific needs through the Event Check-In Settings page, accessible from the People menu.

When to use

  • When tracking attendance at your event
  • When customizing attendee type labels for your organization
  • When generating attendance reports for compliance or analytics
  • When verifying registered attendees' participation

Before you start

You must have Admin, Event Manager, or Event Scheduler permissions to configure Event Check-In settings.

How to do it

    Log in to your Cadence account.
    Navigate to your event dashboard.
    Select "People" from the left sidebar menu.
    Click "Event Check-In" in the submenu.
    Select the "Settings" tab at the top of the page.
    Toggle "Enable Attendee Check-In" to turn on the feature if not already enabled.
    Select your preferred check-in type from the dropdown:
  • Overall Event Check-In (attendees check in once for the entire event)
  • Check-In Per Event Day (attendees must check in for each day)
If you select "Check-In Per Event Day," you'll have the option to enable guest check-in as well.
    Toggle "Enable Guests" if you want to allow attendees to bring guests.
    Toggle "Enable email and push-notification to user assistant" if you want assistants to be notified when their users check in.
    Toggle "Enable Signature Capture" if you need attendees to provide signatures during check-in.
Signature capture only works on mobile devices through the Cadence app, not on the web interface.
    Toggle "Enable Customers Check-In" to allow external participants to be checked in.
    Toggle "Enable Check-In Lists" if you want to create specialized check-in lists for different locations or groups.
    Click "Save" to apply your changes.

Troubleshooting

If check-in settings aren't appearing in the mobile app, ensure you're using the latest version of the Cadence app (v2.7.404 for Android or v2.7.393 for iOS) and try refreshing your event data.
