Check-In/Out Options
The Check-In and Check-Out sections contain options for selecting a webcam, optical scanner, and on-screen signature pad and setting these devices to be required or optional during the check-in or out process. When set to required, the user MUST use that device as part of their check-in. If these are disabled, but devices are selected then the user will have the option to bypass those during check-in. If disabled and no devices are selected it will not be a part of the check-in process at all.
Manual Lookup Type should be set to Username with Autocomplete. This will ensure that as your user types in their name, they will be able to select from a preloaded list that may be active for that badge.
You can also set the maximum number of search results that are shown using Autocomplete Max Results.
Also, there is an option to play a sound for a check-in greeting, an SOC/Nogo alert, or both.
Enabling Show Print Options will allow a printer to be selected and the number of copies of the badge to print. Combine this with Show Event Options and you can easily print out many generic badges for use during a school function.
