### **Checking In Attendees from the Kiosk**

The Kiosk provides multiple ways for attendees to check themselves in.

Available methods include:

- QR Code Scanning
- Search by Name
- Facial Recognition

The Kiosk screen and available check-in methods can be customized based on your event requirements.

![](https://help.vfairs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_0987-portrait-png.png?width=275&height=514&name=IMG_0987-portrait-png.png)

To learn how to configure the Kiosk, refer to:

[How to Set Up and Design a Self-Serve Kiosk for the Badge Printing App](https://help.vfairs.com/knowledge/how-to-setup-and-design-a-self-serve-screen-for-the-badge-printing-app?hsLang=en)

### **Check-In and Check-Out Behavior**

When an attendee successfully checks in through any Kiosk method:

- The attendee is automatically checked into the event.
- If the attendee repeats the same action again, they will automatically be checked out of the event.

This behavior applies to all Kiosk check-in methods.

### **Checking In Attendees from the User Listing**

1. From the Home screen, open **User Listing**.  
   ![](https://help.vfairs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_0990-portrait-png.png?width=275&height=514&name=IMG_0990-portrait-png.png)
2. Search for the attendee.
3. Tap the attendee card.

The app will prompt you to check in the attendee.

Alternatively:

1. Tap the accordion icon or open the attendee profile.
2. Tap **Check In**.

The attendee's status will be updated instantly.

### **Checking Out Attendees**

Attendees can also be checked out directly from the User Listing.

Method 1: From the User Card

Tap the attendee card again to check the attendee out.

Method 2: From the Attendee Profile

1. Open the attendee profile.
2. Tap **Check Out**.  
   ![](https://help.vfairs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/File%20(11)-portrait-png.png?width=275&height=514&name=File%20(11)-portrait-png.png)

The attendee's attendance status will be updated immediately.

### **Printing Badges and Checking In Simultaneously**

If you want attendees to be checked in automatically whenever their badge is printed, you must first enable the feature in the Event Backend.

Step 1: Enable the Backend Setting

1. Go to **Badge Printing App**.
2. Open **Badge Printing Settings**.
3. Click the **Others** tab.
4. Enable **Enable Badge Printing and Check-In Simultaneously**.

5. Save your changes.

Step 2: Enable Badge Printing Mode in the App

1. Open the **Onsite App**.
2. Go to **App Settings**.
3. Select **Badge Printing** mode.

Once enabled, any badge printing action performed through supported badge printing workflows will also check the attendee into the event automatically.

### **Conclusion**

The Check-In module provides multiple ways to manage attendee attendance, including self-service Kiosk check-ins, staff-assisted check-ins from the User Listing, and combined badge printing and check-in workflows. Whether you're running a fully self-service event or a staffed registration desk, the Onsite App offers flexible options for managing attendee entry and exit.
