**Express Check-in** is the page you use at the door on event day. It works on a phone or tablet: scan the QR code on each attendee's ticket, or search for them, and check them in with one tap.

## Check in an attendee

Open the page on the device you use at the entrance:

1. In the sidebar, go to **Events** → **Express Check-in**.

2. Click your event. Each card shows the date, the check-in **Progress** and how many people are registered.

3. Find the attendee. Click the QR button at the end of the search box and scan the QR code on their ticket, or type their name, email, MyKad, ticket number or seat in **Search by name, email, MyKad, ticket or seat**.

4. When you scan a QR code, BCL shows the attendee's event, ticket and seat. Click **Confirm Check-In**. When you search, click **Check In** on their card.

The card turns green with the check-in time, and the **Checked In**, **Pending** and **Check-in Progress** counts update straight away.

## Undo or cancel

To reverse a mistake, click **Undo Check-in** on the attendee's card and confirm. The red button next to **Check In** cancels the ticket; use it only when the ticket should no longer be valid.

If BCL shows **Wrong Event**, the ticket is for another of your events. **Invalid QR Code** means the code is not a BCL ticket.

## Tips

For a smooth entrance:

- **Test the scanner before the doors open.** Scan one ticket, then click **Undo Check-in**, so you know the camera works on that device.
- **Several devices can check in at once.** Each one shows the same list, and BCL warns with **Already Checked In** if a ticket was scanned at another door.
- **Check in from the office too.** On the [Participants](/event-participants/) page, tick several rows and use **Check-in** to mark them all at once.

## Common issues

### How do I check people in on the day of the event?

Open Events → Express Check-in on a phone or tablet, choose your event, then scan each attendee's ticket QR code or search for their name and click Check In.

### Can the same ticket be used twice?

No. If a ticket that is already checked in is scanned again, BCL shows Already Checked In with the time it was first used.

### I checked in the wrong person. Can I undo it?

Yes. On their card, click Undo Check-in and confirm. They go back to not checked in.
