Door check-in is described in [Check people in at a door](https://www.tallievents.com/docs/mobile/door-check-in). ## Choose a session At an event with sessions, the **Event** tab lists them under **Sessions**, by start time, with their room and time. Sessions that ask people to sign up first are marked **Sign-up required**. Sessions that already ended are not listed. 1. On the **Event** tab, tap the session you are working at. 2. The app opens the **Scan** tab there; the top of the screen names the session and its room. 3. Scan tickets, type codes or search by name as at a door. Each check-in also checks the person in to the session, and records any credit the session gives. ## Search at a session At a session, the **Search** list is about that session. People already checked in at the event, for example at the main entrance, still show **Check in**. Someone another phone already checked in to the session is also offered, and the result card then says **Already checked in**, so nobody is counted twice. ## People who did not sign up Someone who did not sign up for a session that asks for sign-up is still let in. The result card says **Not signed up**, in amber, and shows them as a walk-in, so organizers can see who came without a seat. A scan at a door never checks anyone in to a session. ![A session check-in for someone who did not sign up: an amber Not signed up card, checked in as a walk-in, with 1.5 CE credits.](https://www.tallievents.com/api/media/fc1519d6-352c-4430-870f-0547460407e8/talli-iphone-session-walk-in-framed.webp) A walk-in at a session. Shown with sample data. ## Go back to a door To go back to a door, tap it under **Where are you standing?** on the **Event** tab. Changing where you stand within the same event keeps every scan on the phone as it is. ## On Android Choosing a session and checking people in to it work as on iPhone. The system Back gesture on the **Event** tab goes back to **Scan**, still at the session you chose. ![An amber Not signed up card at a session on an Android phone, showing a walk-in with 1 CE credit.](https://www.tallievents.com/api/media/a7e2d73f-1b0d-4408-8a18-a5c3bc1c902f/talli-android-10-session-walk-in-framed.webp) A walk-in at a session on Android.
