Max check-ins per attendee

Use this when each attendee has a different allowed number of entries.

Max check-ins per attendee illustration
Step 1

Choose a check-in type that allows repeats

This setting only works when your check-in type allows the same attendee to be checked in more than once.

Step 2

Create a max check-ins field

Put the allowed scan count for each attendee in that field.

Step 3

Select it as Max check-ins source

The scanner blocks scans after the attendee reaches their own limit.

How it works

A different number of entries per guest A guest whose max check-ins value is two is welcomed on the first two scans and refused on the third. Your sheet Name Max check-ins Ada Mensah 2 Sam Rivera 5 the first guest is scanned three times Scan 1 Welcome Scan 2 Welcome Scan 3 Refused
Each guest can come in as many times as their own number says.

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.
