Creating Events

Before you can check anyone in, you need a place to put them. That place is an Event.

An event is exactly what it sounds like - a container for all the guests, settings, templates, and check-in data related to a specific gathering. Think of it as a project folder for your conference, corporate party, dinner or fundraiser.

How to create an event:

1. From your Check-in Pax dashboard, click the Create Event button (usually found in the top right or center of the screen).
2. Give your event a name - something clear like "Q3 Sales Conference" or "Annual Gala".
3. Set the event date and time.
4. Choose your time zone. This ensures check-in and reporting timestamps are correct.
5. (Optional) Add a location or venue name for your own reference.
6. Click Continue.
7. During the next step, create one or more guest lists.
8. Click Create Event.

That's it. Your event is now ready for guest lists, templates, and check-in devices and is in test mode. Activate whenever you are ready.

You can create as many events as you need. Each event operates independently, so data from your conference won't mix with your gala dinner for example.
