Enabling Check-in for Events

Check-in lets you track who actually shows up to your event — not just who registered.

Before you begin

• You need the Admin or Staff role.
• The event must have registration enabled.

Step-by-step

1. Create a new event or edit an existing one.
2. Under Event Settings, find Enable check-in.
3. Turn it on. The description says: "Track actual attendance and follow up with no-shows."
4. Save the event.

Once enabled, a check-in column appears in the Attendees tab for that event.

Turning check-in on by default

If most of your events use check-in, you can make it the default:

1. Go to Settings > General.
2. Turn on Enable check-in under event defaults.
3. All new events will have check-in enabled from the start.

Good to know

• Check-in can be enabled or disabled at any time, even after the event has started.
• Enabling check-in does not affect existing registrations — it simply adds the ability to mark people as present.
• The Admin, Staff, and Leader roles can all check people in.
