Give some guests more entries than others
A three-day pass, a single-entry voucher, an exhibitor who comes and goes all day: this setting reads each guest’s allowed number of entries from your own list and makes the scanner enforce it person by person.
Choose a check-in type that allows repeats
Only check-in types that allow repeat entries can count, so pick one such as Multiple check-ins allowed first.
Create a max check-ins field
Put the allowed scan count for each attendee in that field.
Select it as Max check-ins source
The scanner counts separately for each guest: past their own limit, further scans are refused, while neighbours with a bigger number still get in.
How it works
Example
Ada Mensah with Max check-ins = 2 can pass twice. The third scan fails.
When everyone gets the same number of check-ins
Consider Session-specific check-in (no repeat) instead. It is usually a better fit when each attendee should get the same number of check-ins, because you can make one session for each allowed entry and block repeat scans inside each one.
Watch how it works
Avoid these mistakes
- Single-check-in modes still block repeats regardless of this field.
- Sheets users must sync attendee data after editing max values.
- Use one numeric value per attendee.
