Session check-in and permissions

Use this when one event has multiple days, workshops, rooms, or time slots.

Session check-in and permissions illustration

How it works

Example attendee sheet with session permission columns A sheet where each session has a column. Put yes in the session column when the attendee is allowed into that session. Attendee sheet Use one column per session. Put yes when the attendee can enter that session. Name Ticket type Workshop A Workshop B Dinner Ada Mensah VIP yes blank yes Sam Rivera General blank yes blank Mina Patel Staff yes yes yes Allowed: yes under Workshop A Blocked: blank under Workshop B
The session column names should match the session names in your check-in settings.
Step 1

Choose a session check-in type

Use Session-specific check-ins when every scan must be attached to a session name.

Step 2

Add one session name per line

These names become the session selector used by check-in staff.

Step 3

Enable session permissions when needed

Add a column or form field named after each session. Put "yes" for attendees allowed into that session.

Example

If Ada Mensah has "yes" under Workshop A, scans for that session pass. Other sessions fail.

Avoid these mistakes
