Bar Code Scanning for event registration

I am an event coordinator, and use Smartsheet mainly for managing my events. It is a great tool for keeping track of to do lists, timelines and event details. I even use it to collect RSVPs.

What I'm wondering is if anyone here uses Smartshee's bar code scanner for event check-ins, or if anyone uses a third party application paired with Smartsheet for this process? I'm looking to find ways to make checking-in guests faster and easier, while still using Smartsheet to collect the event RSVPs.

Hi Kelly,

In theory, you could enter the personalized barcode information in a sheet next to the guest, then use Smartsheet's search to have someone scan that barcode and mark them as checked in. The person doing the scanning would still need to check a box for "checked in."

Automation not working
I have a Smartsheet automation setup to reminder the planning to complete their sections. It is setup to remind weekly until completed box is checked. They received 2 reminders and then the reminders stopped. Any idea what could be wrong? I can't tell that anything has changed in the sheet. Thanks Freda
How to disable popups that obscure my formula?
I'm editing formulas in a Sheet Summary. However, I'm prevented from seeing the formula by an annoying "helpful" popup that obscures my view. I can't figure out how to get rid of the popup. Does anyone know?
Workflow Error: "Recipients: Edit workflow to fix recipients list"
I am trying to create a workflow and for some reason it gives me an error with the email I entered as the recipient for my Alert. It is an email that I know works, it is shared to the sheet, and the access to the sheet is unrestricted. I am perplexed at what the issue is. Anyone else get this and know what the issue is?
