Check-in records that someone actually entered your event, or a specific
session on the agenda. It is what turns a registrant into an attendee.

There are two ways to do it: the mobile check-in app, which is what we
recommend, and the event dashboard.

The mobile check-in app

This turns any phone into a QR scanner. You do not install anything.

1. Open the app at checkin.peewah.co from a
phone with a camera and an internet connection. You can also reach it from the
event dashboard.

2. Sign in with the same credentials you use on Peewah.

3. Pick the event.

4. Pick the session. If your event has several activities on the schedule,
you choose which one you are checking people into — this is how you get
attendance per session rather than just at the door.

5. Scan. Point the camera at the attendee's QR code. You immediately see:

• ✅ Valid
• ⚠️ Invalid
• 🚫 Already used

You also see a live count of how many people have checked in.

💡 Use more than one phone at the door. Any number of people can be
scanning at the same time with the same account, and the count stays in sync.
One scanner is the difference between a queue and no queue.

From the dashboard

Go to Registration → Check-in. You get the list of everyone registered.
Find the person, click the three dots on their row, and choose Check-in.

💡 Keep this open on a laptop at the door as a fallback — for someone who
cannot find their QR code, or whose phone is dead. Searching by name is
slower than scanning but it keeps the line moving.

🔴 Check-in has to be enabled on the activity

A session only accepts check-ins if it was marked for check-in when you built
the schedule. That is set under General → Schedule, per activity.

If it was not, attendance cannot be recorded against that session — which means
it does not count toward certificates and does not appear in your attendance
reports, even though people were in the room.

Check this for every session before the event, not on the day.
