QR code services

Enabling the QR Check-In App for your event or club is simple. First start by logging into your account and then navigate to the "QR Code Services" page found in the left side-menu.

On this page you can reach the QR Check-in App by clicking on the "LAUNCH" button.

On the "Home" page click on the "SET UP NEW CHECK-IN PAGE" and this will give you two different Check-in page set up options:

• The left option lets you collect registrations through a form, and attendees can check in using either a QR ticket or their membership card.

  (+) Click here to show detailed information about enabling this check-in option.

  In the next popup, select one of your existing event/club pages to activate the check-in app on or create a new page completely. If you are creating a new page you will need to fill in all of the required fields before being brought to the Check-in App settings popup.

  In the “Check-in App” tab, start by checking the box for “Enable Check-in App.” Once enabled, you’ll see two options appear: "Scan QR Tickets" and "Scan Membership Cards".

  When you select "Scan QR Tickets," your event settings will determine which types of QR tickets you can generate – up to three options may be available: Ticket Types Registrant Tickets This option creates a single ticket per registrant. It’s ideal for one-day events, issuing accreditations, and similar scenarios. Event Tickets This setting is more customizable. You can generate tickets based on divisions within your event. It has the following options: Per Division Tickets: Generates one ticket per division, grouping all age categories within that division into a single ticket. Per Division and Category Tickets: Generates a separate ticket for each pairing of a division with an age category. None: No tickets will be generated for this division. Additional Purchase Tickets These tickets are useful for items purchased online that need to be redeemed on-site. For example, if your event sells T-shirts, attendees can pre-order and claim them when they arrive. This option also works well for spectator tickets that need to be scanned at check-in. To confirm the tickets you will generate for your event you can use the “Ticket Visualization” tab. This tab allows you to preview the tickets that will be generated based on the options you have enabled in the previous tab. This tab is here to help eliminate confusion by providing a clear visualization of the ticket types and their respective details, making it easier to understand how registrants will receive their tickets. If the preview doesn’t meet your expectations, you can go back and adjust the settings accordingly to ensure the tickets are generated as desired. (+) Click here to learn more about Editing QR Tickets and Visible Fields. In the QR Check-in App you can edit the information displayed on email tickets, information shown upon scanning a ticket, and the visible fields shown in the LIST tab’s tables. Since each ticket type—Registrant Ticket, Event Ticket, or Additional Purchase Ticket—may need to display different kinds of information, we allow you to customize each of these so that it best suits your event’s needs In the new popup you will be able to change the order as well as select which fields will be visible in which sections. The “Email” checkbox will show the option in the email tickets sent to the registrants when they register for your event. The “Scanner” checkbox will show the option for the admin scanning in the “SCAN” tab of the Check-in App. This can be useful if the admin needs certain information from the registrant to better help them (ex: displaying the item name, color, and quantity for an additional purchase). Note The first name, last name, team name, and province fields will automatically appear in the scanner ticket view, provided these options are enabled in your event settings. The “Admin List” checkbox will show the option in the “LIST” tab of the Check-in App. Note You can also edit the visible fields from inside the QR Check-in App by clicking on the “LIST” tab, selecting an event in the top dropdown menu and clicking on the “Visible Fields” link. Finally, once you are satisfied with the settings, make sure to return to the “Check-in App” tab and click on the green “SUBMIT” button to save your changes. Important Note It is possible to enable the QR Check-in App after registration has opened, but keep in mind that clicking the "SUBMIT" button will immediately send out the email QR tickets. If you have more than 10 registrants, your settings will also become locked upon submission. This means you can effectively test your settings and the Check-in App when you are below 10 registrants. To have your settings changed once they have been locked, please contact us.

  (+) Learn more : Scan Membership Cards
  When you choose "Scan Membership Cards" you will have the option to “Allow non-registrants to be scanned-in” which can be useful for drop-ins or trial classes where pre-registration is optional, but you still want a record of who attended.

• The right option is for tracking attendance only — you simply scan membership cards, and no pre-registration is required.

  1. After clicking the "NEXT STEP" button, fill out the event setup form on the following page (title, event type, location, and dates), then select "CREATE EVENT."
   
  2. With the Open Attendance Event created, you can now start scanning participants’ valid Membership Card QR codes to record attendance.

To start scanning tickets for your events, just follow these simple steps:

1. Open the App: After logging into your account, click on the "QR Code Services" tab in the left side-menu. From there you can open the QR Check-in App by clicking on the "LAUNCH" button beneath the "QR Check-in Application" section. Once on the App, navigate to the "SCAN" tab.



2. Scan the QR Code: Align the QR code within the scanner frame on your device’s screen. The app will automatically detect and read the QR code.
 
3. View Information: Once scanned, the app will display the ticket details and check-in status.
 
4. Complete Check-In: If the ticket is valid and the status is "Pending", the app will update the status to "Checked-In". If the ticket has already been used or is expired, the app will display the corresponding status to inform the user.

The QR Check-in App is designed with robust scanning features to ensure a secure and efficient check-in process. Here’s an overview of the scanning capabilities:

Features

Security Our scanner is built to recognize and accept only QR codes generated by our system. This protects users from potentially malicious QR codes by ensuring that only valid, event-specific QR codes can be scanned and displayed in the app.

Ticket Details Upon scanning a QR code, the app displays essential information about the ticket, including what the ticket is for (e.g., event session, additional purchase) and who it is associated with (e.g., registrant’s name). As an admin you can choose what information is shown for each type of ticket (for more information check out the "Editing QR Tickets and Visible Fields" section in Enabling the QR Check-in App).

Check-in Status The app also shows the current check-in status of the ticket, providing real-time updates to ensure accurate tracking of attendees. The ticket status has the following options: Pending: Indicates that the ticket has been issued but not yet used for check-in. This status is shown for tickets awaiting the participant's arrival. Checked-In: Confirms that the participant has successfully checked in using the ticket. This status updates in real-time upon scanning. Already Checked-In: Alerts that the ticket has already been used for check-in, preventing duplicate entries and ensuring one-time use. ** NOTE: The "Already Checked-in" status applies only to QR Tickets, not Membership Cards. While QR Tickets can be scanned more than once, they were designed with the intent of being used like one-time tickets. ** Expired: Shows that the ticket is no longer valid, either because the event has ended or the ticket’s validity period has passed.

To access your event’s QR ticket list, open the QR Check-In App and navigate to the "LIST" tab.

The QR Check-in App’s List feature allows event organizers to manage and view all registrants associated with their tickets. Below is what the interface to manage your QR tickets list looks like.

1. Event Selection
Users can select which event's tickets they want to view, making it particularly useful for organizers managing multiple events. The app will automatically display tickets for any event happening today.

2. Search Filter
Users can filter the registrant list based on various criteria such as the registrant's name, individual events, age categories, team/club names, and checked-in status (Checked-in or Pending). This enhances the search functionality, making it easier to find specific registrants or groups and streamlining the check-in process.

Note

The filtering fields "By member number" and "By registrant status" only apply to check-in pages that scan membership cards.

3. Visible Fields Customization
Admins can use the "Visible Fields" link to customize which information is shown on email tickets, when a ticket is scanned, and in the List view. This provides flexibility to display relevant information tailored to the event's needs.

Note

The "Visible fields" link is NOT available for check-in pages that scan membership cards.

4. Special Fields
In the List view, three special fields are always displayed: Checked-in By, Check-in Time, and Checked-in status. Admins can change a registrant's checked-in status directly from the List view by clicking on the Checked-in icon.

5. Re-send Ticket Option
Admins can re-send any individual ticket by clicking the re-send icon next to the registrant’s details. The app allows the admin to type in an email address, with the registrant's preferred email pre-populated for convenience.

6. Real-time Updates
The List view automatically refreshes every few seconds to ensure that the displayed information remains up to date, even if multiple people are scanning registrants simultaneously.

7. Removing Entries
When you create a check-in page that tracks attendance only and has no pre-registration, removing entries can be done directly from the check-in app in the "LIST" view by clicking on the red "X" next to their entry.

However, for events that have the Check-in App enabled on them, to remove a registrant go to the event’s View Registrants page and delete them from there.

For events that have the Check-in App enabled, if you’ve enabled the "Allow non-registrants to be scanned-in" option, you can remove these non-registrants by hovering or tapping the orange star next to their name and clicking the "HERE" link in the tooltip that appears.

8. Check-in History
The QR Check-in App now records a complete scan history. QR tickets can be scanned multiple times, and each scan logs the date/time, the admin who scanned it, and the status applied. To view an individual’s history, click “View History (+)” on their row. To expand everyone’s histories at once, check “Show All Check-in History.”

9. Check-in Calendar Overview
At the top of the QR Ticket List, you can choose between two views: List View and Check-in Calendar Overview . Use List View to manage all check-in actions and details for each participant. Use Check-in Overview for a quick snapshot of each participant’s check-in activity within the event’s date range. In the calendar overview you can hover or tap any check-in icon to see which ticket was scanned and the exact time.

Event organizers can delegate administrative responsibilities by granting other accounts admin access to the event's check-in app. This feature is accessible through the "Admins" popup under the "Check-in application" option.

Making use of the “Partial Access” option can be particularly useful when providing admin access to the QR Check-in App. For example, if you have volunteers checking in athletes, they can access the Check-In App without needing full access to the rest of your event’s settings.

Both QR tickets and membership cards serve the same purpose: giving participants a scannable code to check in. Whether someone misplaced their original ticket or simply needs to use their membership card instead, this section shows you how to quickly get those QR codes back into their hands.

• Re-sending QR Tickets
