### First-time login:

After installing or accessing the app, log in using the same email and password you use for your web browser account. You'll then see a list of all your events. Select the event you're currently managing. The app will then download the guest list and settings for that event. This may take a few moments depending on the size of your guest list.

**Pro tip:** Set up all your devices at least one day before your event. This gives you time to test everything, name your devices, and train your team.
