## A step-by-step guide to session check-in

### First step: Session check-in is enabled in the admin

Make sure that check-in is enabled for individual sessions in your admin settings. Learn more about [how to set up a session check-in in the admin](https://help.eventee.com/en/articles/218-how-to-set-up-session-check-in-in-the-admin.md).

If check-in is not enabled for any of the sessions, clicking the event name button in the top right corner of the screen will open the modal window with no session list:

If check-in for some sessions is enabled, the modal window includes the session list:

### Second step: Choosing a session

Choose a session from the session list in a modal window. It redirects you to the particular session check-in page.

The header displays session details, including the title, session type, stage, schedule, and speakers. Alongside that, it shows the total number of attendees as well as the checked-in/uncheck-in count.

Below the header, there is a list of attendees:

Registration for the lecture is not required, and it is open to all event attendees. Since there is no specific lecture attendee list, you will see a list of all event attendees instead.

For workshops, you will find a list of all attendees who registered for that specific workshop.

### Third step: Checking in an attendee

The check-in process is the same as check-in for the event. More details [here](https://help.eventee.com/en/articles/202-how-does-eventee-check-in-app-work.md#heading-10-step-by-step-guide-on-how-to-scan-an-attendee-ticket).

### Fourth step: Adding a new attendee

For example, if there are still available spots in a workshop, you can add another attendee.

How to manually add an attendee:

1.  Click the “Add Attendee " button

2.  First, check if the attendee already exists. If they exist but are not checked in, click on their name. This will check them in for the session. For a mentored workshop, you will also need to choose which mentor the attendee will be assigned to.

3.  If the attendee doesn’t exist, you can create a new one by clicking “Create new attendee”. Fill in the form, and click the submit button.
