This is one of the pages where you customize the app experience for Certain Check-In. Certain Check-In is the app you can use on-site to check attendees in.
For more background, see the overview in the Check-In > Basic help topic. See the other topics under See Also.
On the Session Configuration page you can enable session check-ins. You can then choose which sessions (if any) are allowed to have walk-ins.
> Note: Changes made on this page affect the Check-In app only when Speaker and Session Management is enabled for the event.

Check-In Session Configuration
- Check-In Enabled for Sessions — Set to On to enable session check-in.
This makes a Sessions tab available in the app.
A user will be able to scan attendees into sessions for which they have registered.
If a session is set here to allow attendance without pre-registration (see below), then the user can register attendees for those sessions.
> Note: Setting Check-In Enabled for Sessions to On will require attendees to check in at Sessions created using Speaker and Session Management.
May attendees come to sessions without pre-registering for them?
This panel is shown if session check-in is enabled above (by setting it to On).
Select one of the following three options to determine whether event attendees are allowed arrive at a session without having pre-registered for it. If attendance without pre-registration is allowed, attendees can be registered at the door using the Check-In app.
No
- No — All attendees at every session must be pre-registered for that session.
Only to THESE sessions
- Only to THESE sessions — Select the sessions to which attendees may come even if not pre-registered for them.
1. Click Select Sessions to Add or Remove. 2. Note: Only published, scheduled session instances without fees are listed for selection. Sessions with fees require pre-registration. 3. Select the check boxes for the sessions you want to add to the list. 4. Click Save Selections.
The following terms apply:
- A "scheduled session instance" is one that has been assigned to a location and date/time.
A scheduled session instance is assigned when editing a session or in the Grid View of the Sessions page.
For example, you might allow the Monday 10:30 occurrence of a particular session to have walk-ins.
You might not allow the Tuesday 9:30 occurrence of the same session to have walk-ins.
- A session is "published" for selected (or all) attendee types on the Sessions page.
After you select sessions:
- The numbers of attendees at the selected sessions will be limited only by session capacity.
Session capacity is defined on the Sessions page.
- All other sessions will be limited to those who have pre-registered for them.
To remove a selected session from the list:
- Click the X at the end of the row.
Or click Select Sessions to Add or Remove and clear that session’s check box.
Yes
- Yes, to ALL non-fee sessions — Attendees may come to any session (provided it has no fee), even if not pre-registered for it.
If Check-In is enabled for Sessions, then the following option is available if you select Only to THESE sessions or Yes, to ALL non-fee sessions:
- Allow walk-ins to override session capacity — If selected, then walk-in session registrations will be allowed.
Walk-in registrations will be allowed even when walk-in registrations would mean exceeding the Session's capacity.
