iPad

• Unbox the iPad and turn it on.

• Enter the unlock pin: 123890.

• Tap on the Settings button, and select “EventsCase On-Site” WiFi, and insert the password: E9NELC95w7.

• Click again on “EventsCase On-Site” to open the options menu, and ensure the option “Auto-Join” is enabled.

• We recommend to check for any updates for the Kiosk App “EventsCase Kiosk” on our personal app manager “TestFlight”. If you are using the main kiosk app, simply update from the App Store.

Setting up the software (Kiosk App)

• Once you open the App, you will see the Kiosk App home page. To log in, tap on the collapsible menu found on the lower-right corner of the page and tap on the human silhouette.

• Once you can see the log in screen, type in your username and password, previously supplied by the platform administrator.

In the next step you will see the following printer menu settings:

PRINTER: If you are connecting the printer to the router, you must enter the IP address (this can be preconfigured for you).

LAYOUT: Please speak to your project manager to confirm the compatibility of your preferred layout size with our Zebra printers. We usually print on 4" x 2" labels or on pre-prepared A6 templates. We have also printed on 9.7" x 1" bracelets.

EVENT: Choose the correct event to which your user account has access to.

AUTO CHECK-IN: This is to enable auto check-in with every print. This means that if you print John Smith's badge that he will be automatically tagged as "checked in". The check-in data can be downloaded from the Check-in App dashboard. You must be connected to the internet for this functionality to work.

The following four options are the elements that would appear on the Kiosk App home page. You may enable or disable them:

QR SCANNER: This adds the QR scan option for attendees. As long as they have their QR code from the event ticket or from the event app, they can simply present it before the iPad's front camera and the app will automatically retrieve their badge for printing.

SEARCH MANUALLY: You can enable this to allow attendees to search for their profile manually.

FACE RECOGNITION: This works in conjunction with a third-party face recognition technology*. Attendees must upload their profile picture either through the platform or the event app. As long as they have previously uploaded their photo, they may have the iPad scan their face to retrieve their badge for printing.

ONSITE REGISTRATION: This allows walk-in attendees to register for your event. You must provide the registration link within the URL field.

*Event organisers should do their due diligence to make sure that no privacy law is infringed by employing this type of technology and informing attendees beforehand that their pictures can be processed in such a way.
