iqKey for fast Gatekeeper access
Use Case
You want to:
use Gatekeeper to check in attendees
involve students or colleagues in that process
not have to field endless phone calls about logging in "and then what"
The iqKey is the solution. With a single scan they'll be logged in and dropped off on the right event to start scanning immediately.
You will want to configure this well before the event is set to start. It takes a moment!
Process Overview
Log in to admin
Go to Security
Tap Configure iqKey
Create an iqKey
give it a name, leave yourself a note, and select the event (or event bundle) it's valid for, then save
Distribution
Two ways to share!
top right - Print - pick paper size and print -or-
hit the actions dropdown and email the special QR code to yourself (typically to forward along)
And this is what that email looks like:
On the device:
tap Gatekeeper
tap I have an iqKey
scan the QR code
This should open a browser, auto-login, and auto-direct to the right event in Gatekeeper for you.
Event or Bundle or General
Event direction is the most common use case.
Bundle direction is when we have 3 events happening in the same space at the same time but with a shared point of entry. A check in bundle allows us to scan and grant access if the individual is registered for any of the events in the bundle.
General is for high level presence recording; it's rarely employed but we left it in place just in case.
Background
The scanning is locked to a scan-only user account that can't be used to access anything else.
The user can toggle between events - it's not a lockdown tool, just a speedier access one.
You can use it with your own device too. After being logged in hit the hamburger menu and change scan mode to camera.
