Want to collect additional data from attendees at the moment they check in and print their badge?
With Expo Pass, you can make questions required at check-in, even if the attendee didn’t answer them during registration or upload.
This feature is available for events using Onsite Premium Badge Printing via iPad kiosks.

Steps:
Go to Attendees ➜ Set Up Attendee Fields
Click Add Custom Field if you're collecting new data points
Check the box for “Required for Check-In” on the relevant field(s)
Click Save Changes
✅ Any required field that is blank for an attendee will now appear on the iPad kiosk before their badge prints
Here is more info on managing your Attendee Field Settings:
Onsite Attendee Experience at the Kiosk
Here's how the experience flows for your attendees:
Locate the iPad kiosk and tap “Check-In”
Search by name using the on-screen keyboard
When their name appears, they tap it to preview the badge
If they have any required field(s) left blank, they’ll be prompted to answer before their badge prints
Once submitted, the badge prints automatically.
Common Mistakes to Avoid

Required fields will block badge printing if unanswered — this is intended behavior.Forgetting to save field updates:
Be sure to click Save Changes after setting up your required fields — otherwise, the prompts won’t trigger onsite.Creating the field after uploading attendees:
If a field is added post-upload and marked required, previously uploaded attendees will show that field as blank and be prompted onsite.
