Designed specifically for conferences, the Streamlined Self-Reporting Mode is a direct replacement for post-event CE forms. Attendees can use their mobile device to self-report each of the sessions they attend during a conference. Attendees can self-report their attendance at their own convenience -- as soon as a session ends, at the end of each day, or at the end of the entire event.

If Using a Mobile Event App

Attendee View

When this mode is enabled in the app, attendees will see a menu choice labeled as "Your Check-Ins". 

Note: If you do not have the MENU button in your app, please contact us at support@conferences.io to have it enabled.

TIP: We recommend making several announcements throughout your event to remind attendees to click on this option. 

Adding Session Check-Ins

1. Select "Your Check-Ins" in the menu

2. Click "Add Your Information" 

   

3. Fill out all fields on the page, and click "Save"

4. Click the "Add a Check-In" button to select sessions attended for CE credit.

   

5. Click "Add" next to those sessions

   

6. (Optional) Enter the "Session Check-In Code," add notes, and/or report partial attendance 

   

7. Click "Confirm This Check-In"

Reporting partial attendance

1. Click "Report less than full credit (partial attendance)." 
2. Adjust the minutes based on the time actually spent in the session by moving the round button on the slider bar.
3. Add a note related to your partial attendance

4. Click "Confirm This Check-In"

   NOTE: The slider moves in increments of 5 minutes and will max out at the length of the session (in the example below, the session was 60 minutes long).

   

After adding the session, the check-in will be displayed back on the "Your Check-Ins" page. Attendees can add additional check-ins or remove sessions as needed.

Check-in notes added during self-reporting mode can now be edited by Admins when managing attendance, as shown below.

Send a receipt

At any time, attendees can also click the "Send Now" button to receive an emailed receipt of their current list of sessions attended.

If Using a Mobile Event App

Many of our customers integrate their mobile event app with Conferences i/o. You might consider adding a menu choice in your event app for "Claim your CE Credits" (or something similar), which points to a URL like this one: https://myapp.cnf.io/checkin (replace 'myapp' with your Conference i/o app name).
