STEP 2 - Basic Configuration Setup (10 min)

  1. The Temporary Access Code field : Is Auto generated by default (Min 10 to Max 25 characters). Ensure it is in the format- “EVENT” followed by event request number. For example- EVENTOER12324232
  2. Valid From and To field – This is used to set the date and time from when the application should be made active. Note: It is recommended to set the Valid From to a day prior to the event date or ask the marketer when they plan to begin testing the App. (This date must encompass the testing time). Valid To needs to be past the event date, not the same as the event date.

6. Guest List – Statuses: ONLY those statuses that are for approved registrations should be available in the Check-In app. Do not Select ALL/None option. Check your event for which statuses are the approved registrants and only use those. For example, you would never want denials in your Check-In app. Typically you will have O_Registered and O_Registered Approved. (O_Check In and Pre-registered will be added by default).
