How to understand the difference between Event Check-In types (overall vs. per day)
Event Check-In in Cadence offers two distinct check-in methods: Overall Event Check-In and Check-In Per Event Day. Understanding the difference between these options is crucial for properly configuring your event's attendance tracking. This article explains how each type works and helps you choose the right option for your event.
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.
If you don't see the Event Check-In option, check that the feature is enabled for your event.
Click the "Settings" tab at the top of the page.
Review the "Check-In Type" dropdown options:
Overall Event Check-In: Attendees check in once for the entire event
Check-In Per Event Day: Attendees must check in separately for each day they attend
Select "Overall Event Check-In" if you want attendees to check in only once for the entire event.
This option is simpler to manage and provides a single check-in status for each attendee.
Select "Check-In Per Event Day" if you need to track attendance for each individual day.
With this option, when checking in an attendee, you'll be prompted to select which day you're checking them in for.
Toggle "Enable Guest Check-In" if you want to allow attendees to bring and check in guests.
This option is available regardless of which check-in type you select.
Click "Save" to apply your changes.
Changing the check-in type after attendees have already been checked in may affect your attendance reporting.
Troubleshooting
If you switch from "Check-In Per Event Day" to "Overall Event Check-In" after the event has started, any day-specific check-in data will be consolidated into a single overall check-in status.
