Breakout sessions for check-in

How Breakout Sessions Work

Potential Use Case

1. Track daily attendance for a multi-day event.

2. Track attendance of different sessions or rooms within a multi-session event.

Steps

1. Go to In-person Check-in > Breakout Session

2. Click Add Session

3. Input the session details such as session name, date and time. Once done, click Create & Next. Note: Attendees can still be checked-in before and after the entered session time.

4. Select participants that will be shown within the session on the Check-in App.

5. All attendees - Will include all attendees on the People List.

6. Attendees with specific criteria - Only seleccted attendees will be shown within the breakout session.

7. Attendees can be selected based on:

   1. Custom field responses

   2. Ticket type

   3. Tags

   4. Manually selection

8. Click Save.

Remarks

1. The check-in records for each breakout session are independent. For example, if Attendee A is checked-in under breakout session A, the check-in record will not be reflected in breakout session B. Same logic applies if the check-in record is undone or erased.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why use breakout sessions instead of just the main check-in?

A: Breakout sessions provide independent check-in records for each session/day. This lets you track which attendees attended which specific sessions, manage separate capacity, and view per-session attendance counts.

Q: Can I assign attendees to a breakout session automatically?

A: Yes. You can assign based on criteria like custom field responses, ticket types, or tags. You can also manually select individual attendees.
