Booking Check-In

The Booking Check-In lets you search for events, mark attendees as "checked-in" and see bookings that haven't checked in yet.

The Search

The search form lets a user search for events and view lists of bookers in the results.

Date

Pick a date to search for events taking place on that day. The default date in the search field can be set by relating metadata to the article that displays the form. Valid defaults are "yesterday", "today" and "tomorrow".

This metadata simply sets the default date when the form is loaded, it places no restriction on the dates that can be picked from the pop-up calendar.

Event

This drop-down lists the events that can be searched for.

The events that appear in this list can be restricted by relating event articles to the article that displays the form - only those related events will appear in the drop-down.

If no articles are related, all articles using the Event template will appear. If only a single event article is related, the option to select an event is hidden and the search will only return results for that event.

Keyword

You can also search by booking reference number, or the name or email of the person who made the booking.

Search Results

The results list everyone who has booked onto the event. Bookers are divided into two lists.

Outstanding

This list includes everyone who has booked onto the event but has not yet been checked in. To check someone in, press the "Check in" button. This will move them to the "Completed" list.

Completed

This list includes everyone who has been checked in. Pressing "Check out" returns the booking to the "Outstanding" list.

Set Up

Create an article using the Forms Service template. Relate the "Bookings Checkin" form to it. Optionally relate metadata and articles to the form to limit the search, as described above.
