β“˜ This article is for Event Organizers

At this point you should have created your event in Expo Pass Classic. If you have not done that, click here to learn how to create your event.

πŸ‘‰ You will need to have the Check-In feature activated BEFORE your event goes live. This can be done by your Expo Pass Success Specialist.

You will also need to make sure that your Event Users who will be doing Check-In have Check-In permissions for this function. This can be done under Details - Event Users - Permissions within your event.


Option A: Attendee Self Check-in via an iPad

In order to use an iPad for Check-In, you must ensuring that the iPadi is on the latest iOS software. This ensures compatibility with the most current Expo Pass version.

Regarding the size of the iPad, it's important to mention that Expo Pass works optimally when rendering images for Apple iPads that fall within the size range of 9.7" to 10.9".

❗ Important: This printing functionality currrenly is NOT supported for Android.

1. Download the Expo Pass app from the Apple App store

2. Login using your event admin access. After logging in, tap "Enter" on the event to view the admin toolkit

3. Tap on "Enter Kiosk Mode"

4. On the next screen select "Check-in Only" (Direct Print is only for on-site badge printing. Contact your Expo Pass Success Specialist for more information)

5. Tap "Yes" for attendee check-in. If your registration is free, registration can be used. If registration is not free, and on-site registration is needed contact your Expo Pass Success Specialist.
​

6. Tap "Save" and that's it, you're ready to go!

If you'd like to customize the check-in screen, HERE is how to upload a custom kiosk screen. Below is a template of the specs for the background.

Option B: Staff Attendee Check-In via a Mobile Device

1. From your iPad, download the Expo Pass app from the Apple App store and Login using your event admin access, or User access.

2. After logging in, tap "Enter" on the event to view the admin toolkit

3. Click on "Event Attendees"
