  • 1.  workaround needed for self check out

    Posted 05-19-2025 22:13

    We are planning to use the self check in feature in the mobile app. to give attendees earning CPE credits a session duration timestamp (state requirement). However, Cvent doesn't have a self check OUT feature, as we find in the OA session scanning. Does anyone have a workaround? We don't have enough event staff to perform check outs using OA on cell phones.

    Do you have a time requirement for attending the session? Ie. For a 60-minute session, you need to be in the session for 45 minutes to receive credit. 

    Have you thought about using the Survey as an option? This would be timestamped, but I would recommend that only those that attended the session be granted access. You might need to incorporate questions that were more toward the end of the session to guarantee that they met the time requirement if needed. Another option would be to use RFID in the name badges. This would allow you to set parameters for how long an attendee would be in the session to qualify for the credit. RFID can be cost prohibitive and most use the Survey as an option to quantify if the attendee actually attended the session.
