Mobile app

Using the QRACCESS app online and offline

The QRACCESS app validates QR codes in real time while the venue has coverage, and keeps the QR check-in running offline when it does not — basements, field sites, buildings where the signal drops mid-event. Which mode each event uses is set from the web dashboard, so the door staff never have to configure anything on the phone.

Online mode

With connectivity at the checkpoint, every scan is recorded on the dashboard the moment it happens. This is the usual mode when the venue has reliable coverage.

  • Data updated instantly.
  • Live capacity control.
  • Alerts and duplicate checks synchronized across every scanner.

Offline mode

The app downloads the attendee list to the device and validates each QR locally; the scans are synchronized later. Built for places without stable coverage.

  • Local download of the event data.
  • QR validation with no signal at all.
  • Automatic synchronization as soon as the connection comes back.

What happens without coverage, step by step

Offline mode is designed so event access control never stops, whether the venue has no coverage to begin with or the network fails halfway through the event.

  • 1. Download. The app downloads the event data to the device before the check-in starts.
  • 2. Validation with no signal. Each QR is accepted or rejected locally — no connection is needed to make the decision at the door.
  • 3. Synchronization. When the connection returns, the app pushes the scans to the dashboard automatically.
  • 4. Tolerance to outages. If the network drops during the event, the app rides out the interruption and access continues without stopping.

The four tabs of the app

  • Event: pick the configured event, or find it with the search box — it searches by event name, group name or shift name.
  • Scanner: start scanning QR codes.
  • Config: change the date, the colors, the service URL or the user.
  • History: review the scans and open the detail of any attendee.

If you run many events, the search box on the Event tab is the fast way in. And note that the counting mode — how each scan is recorded — is set per event on the web dashboard, not on the phone (see setting up an event).

Zone, row and seat highlighted on each scan

At events with numbered seating, scanning a QR highlights the attendee's ZONE, ROW and SEAT on screen. The door staff see at a glance where each person sits — no paper lists.

Immediate seating

The highlight shows the attendee's exact location at the moment of the scan — invaluable in theaters, auditoriums and any venue with numbered seats.

Wrong seat

If someone is sitting where they should not be, scan their QR again: their assigned zone, row and seat come straight back up. See the troubleshooting guide.

Consistent with the ticket

The ticket — PDF, email or QR — carries the same zone, row and seat, so attendee and staff are always looking at the same information.

Repeating events

For daily or recurring check-ins you can turn on daily record clearing, so the same QR can be scanned again each day according to the validity settings of the event.
