How to Check-in or Check-out Attendees from the Event Espresso Admin User Interface

This article will describe the process to locate a registration and check-in or check-out attendees from the Event Espresso admin dashboard. You can also use Event Espresso mobile apps to check-in and check-out attendees and track attendance.our mobile apps for check-in/out and attendance tracking.

Checking-in or Checking-out Attendees Manually

• Log in to your website
• Navigate to Event Espresso > Registrations
• Click the "Event Check-in" tab
• Filter for the event
• Click the X, O or ✔️ to change the status of that attendee

Exporting Check-in or Check-out Attendance Data

At the bottom of the Check-in tab, click the “Registrations CSV Report” button to download the check-in/out data as a .csv file. Open the file in your preferred spreadsheet program and look for the ”Event Check-ins #” and “CHK_IN DTT_ID:” columns.

These columns provide the number of check-ins/outs, along with timestamps and the last recorded action. For example, if the first attendee checked IN at 4:11 PM and another attendee checked in and then checked OUT at 11:26 PM.

This data allows you to track if attendees were checked-in, and when they checked-out. A registration is first required to check-in before it is allowed to be checked-out. If the second attendee was checked-in again, that would be recorded with a #3 and the IN with a timestamp. Scanning tickets with the mobile apps works the same and the data is recorded the same.
