Starting from the Standard edition of CardExchange® Visitor, it is possible to assign a personal barcode to a visitor which can be used as well as the Invitee barocde that is auto-generated.
Using the invitee barcode you can only check in once for a planned event.
Using a personal barcode will allow you to check-in for a planned event if there is one available at that time, and check-in incidentally otherwise.
The invitee barcode is generated automatically when creating the invitee, the personal barcode needs to be assigned.
You can assign a personal barcode by clicking on the Assing barcode button in the ribbon of the home tab.
Clicking on assign barcode will give you the following options:
You can scan an existing barcode to assign it to the selected visitor.
You can let CardExchange® Visitor generate a random value.
Or you can use the contents of an existing database column for the barcode value.
Under advanced options you can control exactly is allowed. If incidental check-ins are not allowed, the personal barcode will only work for planned events.
Both barcodes can be used in the same way.
That is, the system looks up both the Person and the Invitee table when confronted with a bar code
Clicking on Revoke barcode will give you the option to revoke the barcode so that it cannot be used any longer.
