At the door

Scan them in from your own phone.

No app, no hardware to hire. Your volunteers open a page, point the camera, and the answer comes back in under a second.

Three answers

Every scan gives one of three.

Each one takes the whole screen in its own colour, so a steward standing in a doorway knows what happened without reading a word.

Checked in

Their name at a size you can read at arm's length, the ticket line, and anything they told you when they booked.

Already in

The time they arrived and which steward let them in, so nobody argues about it at the door.

Not recognised

Holds the screen instead of vanishing, because somebody has to deal with it, and offers to find them by name.

Several doors at once

Nobody gets counted twice.

A check-in is a single trip to the database that finds the ticket, changes its state and returns the count, all in one go. Two stewards scanning the same ticket at the same moment produce one check-in and one already in, and the second screen names who got there first.

Every scan brings back the running total, so the phone in your hand always shows where the room is up to.

On the phone

97of 118 arrived

The count refreshes on this phone every time it scans, searches or checks somebody in.

When the QR will not do

Find them by name instead.

A flat battery, a cracked screen, an email nobody can find. The roster opens over the camera from a button under your thumb. It starts by showing who is still to come, searches on name or email, and checks somebody in with one tap through exactly the same path a scan takes. There is a box for typing a ticket code by hand too.

Works in the phone browser, so there is nothing for a volunteer to installThe nearest program is picked for you, with a switcher when there is more than one doorA sound and a buzz for each outcome, so you can keep your eyes on the queueTorch toggle, camera switch, and the screen stays awake through the shiftThe same ticket scanned twice in a few seconds is ignored rather than called outUndo on the last scan, for the one you took too early

Worth knowing before the night

Two things we would rather you heard from us.

It needs a signal

Every scan asks the server. In a hall with no reception, check people in from the roster once you are back on data rather than at the door.

Anyone you invite can scan

A steward needs an account on your workspace, and that account can see the rest of the portal. There is no door-only login yet.
