When organizing events or managing attendance with Omella, it’s important to understand the check-in options available. Now that you’ve learned How to manage event check-ins, it’s time to explore the specific check-in methods Omella offers and choose the one that best suits your needs.
Our platform provides three check-in options: Standard Check-In, Auto Check-In, and Self Check-In. Each one has its own unique benefits, and in this article, we’ll guide you through their differences and best use cases so you can select the most suitable option for your event.
How does it work?
In a Standard Check-In, an authorized member must manually press the “check-in” button to register attendees. This method offers greater control and oversight, and is particularly useful for formal or closed events where monitoring attendance closely is crucial.
Who can access it?
In the Standard Check-In, only authorized users with an Omella account can view the “check-in” button. This ensures that check-ins are handled exclusively by designated personnel.

Extra tip:
While this two-step process is slightly slower, it’s helpful if you need to verify submission details before completing the check-in. For example: schools often use this method to ensure that the name and student ID in the system match the physical ID before confirming check-in.

How does it work?
Auto Check-In streamlines the process by automatically registering attendees when an authorized user scans a QR code, eliminating the need for a manual button press. This contactless method is fast, efficient, and reduces wait times, making it perfect for high-traffic events.
Who can access it?
Like the Standard Check-In, the Auto Check-In button is only visible to authorized users with an Omella account.

How does it work?
The “check-in” button is publicly visible, allowing anyone with the link to manually complete the check-in. This makes this option more accessible to a broader audience compared to other methods.
*To prevent early or incorrect check-ins, we recommend making the button visible only a few minutes before your event starts. Our team can assist in setting this up - just reach out at help@omella.com and we’ll help ensure the button is available only at the right time.
Who can access it?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
