Accreditation & Access Control with NFC
This process allows your attendees to swipe their QR code, synchronize their NFC band and then print their badge. This process will count as a check-in to the event.
We will then use access control to check in/out of activities and check out of the event by using NFC bands. The attendee will simply touch their NFC band on the back of the tablet to check in/out of activities and to check out of the event itself.
Logs
You will then have a full check log to view who checked in to the event and which attendees used their NFC bands to check in and out of activities and who checked out of the event.
The log will show the name and email address of the attendees, which activity they checked in/out of, Who checked the attendee in/out, and the time, dates, and type of check.
