Attendee Search Easily find attendees that are registered for your event and view their information by searching for them by name or ticket ID. Auto Check-ins Speed up check-ins using the lightning fast auto check-ins option, which will automatically check-in an attendee and return to the scanning screen once their ticket has been successfully validated. Barcode and QR Code Support Scan the 1D barcode or QR code contained on the attendee's ticket directly from your device using the built-in camera or a handheld Bluetooth barcode scanner. Bluetooth Scanner Integration Scan tickets using your mobile device's built-in camera or pair your device to any handheld Bluetooth barcode scanner. Bulk Status Updates Quickly change the ticket status of multiple attendees by using the bulk update feature. Simply select the tickets and mark them as checked-in, checked-out or canceled. Calendar and Image List Styles Set the list style in the app to display events using their featured image or use the new date mode. The date mode will display a customizable color-coded date icon that will help make your events easy to spot even when you're in a rush. Customizable Branding Make the Check-ins apps your own by changing the logo and color scheme from the plugin settings to match your website. Custom Terminology Customize various terms used within the app including 'Events', 'Attendees' and 'Check-ins' to suit your business needs.

Features
Read full description

Ticket Validator allows event coordinators to validate tickets created using the Ticket Generator web application. Each generated ticket is equipped with a secure single-use QR Code. A QR Code is a 2D barcode that can be identified and decoded using a smartphone application. Using the Ticket Validator mobile app, event administrators and coordinators can scan the QR Code on the ticket and validate its authenticity i.e. check if the ticket is valid, invalid, or duplicate. Event administrators and coordinators will have timed access to validate tickets. Using the mobile app's quick QR Code scanning feature, event guests can be authorised quickly at the point of entry. If the administrator/coordinators are unable to scan the QR Code, it is also possible to validate tickets by entering the serial codes printed on the tickets. Please note that this mobile application is not for general use. This application is valid only for administrators of the Ticket Generator web application and invited event coordinators. To use this app, get started by creating tickets at Ticket Generator web application for your event or request an existing Ticket Generator administrator to send an event coordinator invite.
