If you are using the previous version of Check-in, check out our Legacy Check-in resources HERE.


Kiosk Device

  • Kiosk Devices are individual pieces of hardware (iPads) connected to your Subsplash account through the Check-in app.

  • Kiosk Devices are set up using a QR code or setup code from the Dashboard.

  • The behavior of a Kiosk Device can be adjusted by changing the Kiosk Type for the Kiosk Device.

Example: To set up a new Kiosk Device, scan the QR code below


Kiosk Type

  • Kiosk Types are saved configurations of Check-in settings. When you set up a Kiosk Device, you’ll select a Kiosk Type for the device to use.

  • Kiosk Types contain different settings like an idle background image, calendar filters, print & label settings, and more.

  • You can keep things simple with just a single Kiosk Type, so all your Kiosk Devices work the same way, or create multiple Kiosk Types to offer different Check-in experiences depending on the Kiosk Device.

Example: Choose a Kiosk Type for this Kiosk Device


Kiosk Passcode

  • While using a Kiosk Device in Check-in mode, some settings are locked behind a Kiosk Passcode to prevent unwanted changes by guests.

  • Entering the Kiosk Passcode when prompted on the Kiosk Device will give you access to additional admin settings and features.

  • This passcode works for all Kiosk Devices connected to your Subsplash account, so be mindful of who has access to this code.

Example: Time to update the Kiosk Passcode.


Check-in mode

  • A mode that can be enabled by a Volunteer viewing the Admin Settings in the Subsplash Check-in app, running on a Kiosk Device.

  • Enabling Guest Check-in Mode is the last step a Volunteer must take before Guests can start checking themselves in.

  • A few things change when check-in mode is toggled on:

    • After the Kiosk Device is idle for 30 seconds, the check-in UX will reset, and present a "Touch to check in" message, along with an idle background image

    • Guests or Admins must enter the Kiosk Passcode to access additional settings like Roll Call, Kiosk Type, or Print settings.
