Event Check-In

Event Check-In

The Event Check-In feature in the Zoho Backstage Organizer app makes it easy for event organizers to manage attendee check-ins, whether for pre-registered attendees or walk-ins. Through scanning, manual search, or quick entry, organizers can streamline the entry process, keep track of attendee details, and access check-in activity all in one place.

  1. Open the Check-In tab.
  2. Tap Event Check-In.
Info

  2. Tap Event Check-In.
  3. Use the search bar to search for an attendee.
  4. Tap on the attendee you want to check in.
