Decide which sessions each guest may enter
Use this when guests are not all allowed everywhere: a three-day VIP pass here, a single workshop ticket there. Columns in your list say yes or no per session, and the scanner follows them.
Choose a session check-in type
Start here: pick a Session-specific check-in type. Only then does the scanner attach every scan to a session name — and only then do the yes/no columns have anything to decide.
Add one session name per line
These names become the session selector used by check-in staff.
Enable session permissions when needed
Add one column or form question per session, named exactly like the session, and write "yes" for the guests allowed in. A guest scans green in their permitted sessions and is refused everywhere else.
Three things that must line up
- 1 Session check-ins are turned on, so the scanner asks which session each scan is for.
- 2 Each session has its own column — or question, in Forms — spelled exactly the same way, same letters and spaces.
- 3 That column says "yes" for every guest allowed in. Anything else counts as no.
How it works
Try it with your own sessions
A 2-minute interactive demo: type your session names, choose who may enter what, create sample QR tickets, then play door staff and scan guests in.
Open the interactive demo →Example
If Ada Mensah has "yes" under Workshop A, scans for that session pass. Other sessions fail.
Watch how it works
Avoid these mistakes
- Session names must match the attendee data fields when permissions are enabled.
- Sheets users must run Update attendee data after changing session permission columns.
- Use no-repeat sessions when one scan per attendee per session is required.
