The **Check-in** tab of an event lists every **confirmed** registration, with payment, check-in, confirmation email, certificate and abstract status in one table. Search by name, email, phone, registration code or certificate number, and tick the **Checked in** box to mark a delegate as attended by hand. The roster shows 50 delegates per page and has **no export**, filters or sortable columns, so copy any attendance sheet you need by hand. This page is about people who registered for an event. For your marketing contact lists, read [how to build contact lists](https://medvento.com/docs/campaigns/contact-lists-and-consent).

## Open the roster
Open the event and select **Check-in**. The heading shows "N of M checked in". The intro reads: "Delegates registered for this event, with payment, check-in, certificate and abstract status."

**Only confirmed registrations appear.** Pending, unpaid and failed attempts are not listed. On a new event you see "No confirmed registrations yet. Delegates appear here once their registration is confirmed."

### Columns

| Payment                             | Free, Paid online, or Paid directly (confirmed)                                                                                |
| Checked in                          | A checkbox and who checked them in                                                                                             |

### Search and paging
Use the single search box: "Name, email, phone, code or certificate no." and select **Search**. Matching is by "contains", ignoring case. Phone searches ignore spaces and need at least 4 digits. A query can be up to 100 characters. The count appears, with **Clear**. The list is always sorted by name from A to Z and shows **50 per page** with Previous and Next buttons. The address keeps your search and page, so you keep your place after each tick.

## Mark attendance by hand
Tick the **Checked in** box on a delegate's row. It shows "Checked in", the date and time in the event's timezone, and who did it. Untick it to undo.

* Any team member can do it.
* The registration must be confirmed.
* **It works at any time**: before the event is live, during and after. There is no confirmation window and the delegate is not notified.
* It is separate from **session QR check-in**, which needs the event to be Live and is limited to the session's time window. See [session QR check-in](https://medvento.com/docs/attendees/qr-code-check-in).

### How check-in affects CME credit
Either kind of attendance qualifies a delegate for a certificate. If a delegate has any session scans, their CME hours come from the sessions they scanned. If they have only the event check-in, the event's full credit hours apply. **The roster does not show which sessions a delegate scanned.** It shows only the event-level tick. Each session's scan count is on the Agenda and QR Codes tabs. See [how to issue CME certificates](https://medvento.com/docs/certificates/issue-cme-certificates).

## Confirmation emails
The **Confirmation email** column shows the status, with the reason on hover. Select **Resend email** (or **Retry email** after a failure) to send it again. You can resend up to 3 times per registration, with a 10-minute wait between tries. Emails wait while your organization is suspended, its messaging is on hold or its email is unverified. See [how to share your registration page](https://medvento.com/docs/registration-payments/share-registration-and-confirm-payments).

## Certificates
The **Certificate** column shows nothing until the event is post-event, then **Pending, Issued** (with the number and a **View** link), **No CME hours, Retrying, Failed, Held** or **Waiting**. Any team member can **Resend**. Only owners can **Reissue** one certificate or **Reissue all**. Details are in [how to issue CME certificates](https://medvento.com/docs/certificates/issue-cme-certificates).

## Abstracts
For each delegate you can **Copy submission link**, **Email submission link**, **Record abstract** (an abstract received another way) and, once the window has closed, **Grant late exception**. See [how to collect and review abstracts](https://medvento.com/docs/abstracts/set-up-and-review-abstracts).

## Good to know
* There is **no export** of the roster and no "checked-in only" view. The only count is "N of M checked in".
* Delegate details are fully visible to your team. Treat them as personal data: see [privacy and consent for organizers](https://medvento.com/docs/guides/privacy-and-consent-for-organizers).
* Some actions need an active plan and an organization that is not suspended.

## Frequently asked questions
### Why is a delegate missing from the Check-in list?
Only confirmed registrations appear. A paid ticket is confirmed after you confirm the payment on the Payments tab.

### Can I export the Check-in list?
No. There is no export. You can search and page through it.

### Can I check someone in before the event starts?
Yes. Manual check-in has no stage or time limit. QR scans need the event to be Live.

### Can I undo a check-in?
Yes. Untick the box.

### Which sessions did a delegate attend?
The roster does not list them. Each session shows a scan count on the Agenda and QR Codes tabs.
