RaceDay Checkin App: Checkin Participants


Once you have your presets and configurations set within the Checkin App, you can quickly check in your participants on race day.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


Manually Checkin Participants


To checkin participants in the app, you can type in a person's name and then click on them. Depending on how you have your preset setup, and which event the participant is registered for, you can update the registrant information or just check them in. 


In the example below, the participants are required to sign the waiver to be checked in with the current preset:




Dynamic Bib Assignment


If your preset is allowing bib assignment during checkin, you can use dynamic bib assignment. If a participant doesn't have a bib assigned yet, you will be prompted to assign them one during checkin. 


First, select their name from the participant list. Then click Check In, assign their bib number and click Assign, and then click save and continue.


Alternatively, you can tap the camera icon in the top-right corner to scan a QR code on the next available bib to assign the participant that bib number. 




QR Code Checkin Participants


QR codes can be used in two different ways with the Checkin App. 


You can lookup a participant by scanning a QR code that has their RunSignup registration ID embedded in it. This is automatically included in the participant's confirmation email, but we recommend sending out a pre-race email for packet pickup that includes the registration ID QR code using the registration ID placeholder as well. 


You can also assign a bib number to a participant by scanning a bib that has a QR code with a bib number embedded into it. 


The standard flow is:

  • Scan a registration QR code to look up a participant
  • Then scan a bib number QR code to assign them a bib




Un-Checkin a Participant


If you accidentally checked in a participant, you are able to undo this action and then check them in again at a different time. 


Simply click the participant's name from the list, then click the red "Un-Check In" button, and confirm the change by clicking "remove."




Queued Edits


What are queued edits?

  • If changes are not syncing on a device, the changes will be queued and will try to push when connection is available again.
  • Some changes will never push because they are invalid.


How to handle queued edits?

  • You can export queued edits or clear them, and retry them if they have failed. 



We do have a feature that allows you to lock down devices that are not syncing to prevent situations where you lose a batch of changes from one device:
