Creating a ticket scanner

In 4planning you can create ticket scanners to register visitors quickly and securely at events. A ticket scanner checks access and gives you a real-time overview of who is present.

Step 1: Go to the event

1. Open the event in question.
2. Choose Edit event.

Step 2: Open ticket scanners

1. Scroll down to the Ticket scanners section.
2. Click or tap + New scanner.

Step 3: Set up the scanner

Fill in the scanner's details:

• Scanner name* – Give the scanner a clear name, for example entrance, VIP or backstage.
• Permitted tickets – Select which tickets may be checked with this scanner.

That way you can use several scanners with different access rights.

Step 4: Save

Save the scanner. It is now available to scan tickets during the event.

Tips for effective use

• Use clear names per entrance or location.
• Create separate scanners for different ticket types.
• Test the scanner before the event.

Good to know

• You can create several scanners per event.
• For each scanner you decide which tickets are valid.
• This helps with access control and safety.
