When creating an event one of the fields required is the "Event-Type" field. This functionality breaks events down into four sub-types of events—two in-person event types and two virtual event types. This article we will be focusing on the two in-person event types only.

#1. Location Event, Location Check-In Verification

• Using the "Event Type" toggle, set this area to "Location Event, Location Check-In Verification.

• After this, you will need to input information regarding the Event's location:
  • Address: for this area input the event's Street Name and Number.
  • City/State: for these areas input the event's city and state respectively.
  • Postal Code: for this area input your postal code, also known as your zip code.
• The next two features work in tangent with each other. The "Location" section allows you to geocode the location of your event. For more information on geocoding please refer to the Geocoding Article. In summary, the geocoding feature stores the latitude and longitude of your event in our system.
• After entering your location information, you should click the "Geocode Address" button. Your location will appear on a map and, if the location appears to be correct, then you should hit the "Confirm" button.

• When used with the "Check-In Radius" section, our system allows you to track attendance as event attendees can only check-in if they are within the radius which you have set. For more information on the "Check-In Radius" section, please visit the Geocoding Article. Generally speaking we suggest keeping the radius above 800ft.

#2. Location Event, Self Check-In

• Using the "Event Type" toggle, set this area to "Location Event, Self-Check-In".
  • *From here the instructions are almost identical to the previous Event Type, only difference is that there is no need to input anything for the "Check-In Radius" section for this type*
    
    
• After this, you will need to input information regarding the Event's location:
  • Address: for this area input the event's Street Name and Number.
  • City/State: for these areas input the event's city and state respectively.
  • Postal Code: for this area input your postal code, also known as your zip code.
• After entering your location information, you should click the "Geocode Address" button. Your location will appear on a map and, if the location appears to be correct, then you should hit the "Confirm" button.
• Since this Event Type has been set to "Self Check-In". There is no need to input anything for the "Check-In Radius" section.
