Check-In By Organizer

Auctria provides the means to track which guests have checked into an event using the Check-In feature set. You can use Auctria to check in participants at In-Person events as they arrive.

Getting Where You Need To Be

From the main Event Dashboard, click Check-in beneath the Actions tab to open the Check-In page.

An example from a demonstration event.

Choose Guest

Click the Next arrow beside the participant you wish to check-in, or click the Add New Guest button on the left side of the Check in page.

img

An example from a demonstration event.

You can also search for the guest's name by typing their name into the box in the Select Who To Check-In list.

Check-In Guest

The participant can now be checked in as is, or their details can be updated further.

img

An example from a demonstration event.

Suggested Guests

When you select one or more guests, you will see a list of suggested other guests who may be checking in with them beneath the guest cards. These suggestions are based on other people in the same ticket group or who are sharing an email address.

img

An example from a demonstration event.

You can click the Include in check-in link to add any of these to the current check-in group and update their details.

Add New Guest

Clicking on the Add New Guest sidebar will open an Add New Guest window.

An example from a demonstration event.

Entering the new participant details and clicking the Add Guest button will open the Check-In page with their details pre-populated.

An example from a demonstration event.

Link To Someone

You can find more information on linking participants with the  How To Link Participants page.

Register Card

An example taken from a demonstration event.

If you have a USB card swiper or a card reader for your event, you can use it to register card details.

You can use the Auctria Admin App as a tap-to-pay reader to quickly register credit cards.

Update Guest Details

You can update any guest detail in one of two ways. First, you can click any individual field on the guest card to edit the field.

Ticketed Participants

If the participant being checked in has a ticket assigned, it will appear in their details on the Check-in page.

Transfer To Another Participant

As needed, click on the Transfer To Someone Else to re-assign the ticket to another participant. This will open the Transfer Ticket window, where you can transfer the ticket to an existing or new guest.

img

Check-in Settings

Multiple options are available for Participant Check-In requirements and field displays.

You can adjust these settings to require specific information during Check-In, such as email addresses or credit card registration. You can adjust the content of the text message your guest will receive upon checking in.

You can also update the behavior of the Self Check-In Request to send guests their table or paddle numbers.

An example from a demonstration event.

See the Check-In Settings page for more information on these settings.
