Eventsforce Attendance, known as ‘EF Attendance’ in Apple’s app store, is an app that allows event planners to record attendance at their events using an iPhone or iPad. Eventsforce attendance is currently only available on iOS devices and cannot be downloaded on Android devices.

Recorded attendance is seamlessly updated in Eventsforce, allowing you to generate reports with this information.

The Eventsforce Attendance app can be linked to your Eventsforce event using two methods:

Due to the enhanced security of admin QR codes, your device must be using iOS 10+ to set up the attendance app using the admin QR code.

If your device uses iOS 9+ or previous, you must configure the Eventsforce Attendance app using the API key. ​

​Note: If using the API, we recommend that the user only have access to the current events to manage the list of events in the app more efficiently. If your account does not have API access, please contact your Eventsforce account manager or the Eventsforce support desk.

You can begin recording attendance once the Eventsforce Attendance app is linked to your Eventsforce event.

Note: The Eventsforce Attendance app is not compatible with dark mode. Please disable dark mode to use the app.

From the main screen, the event manager can view all 'Attendees', 'Days', or 'Sessions' for the event.

Use the 'Attendees' list to view all attendees registered for your event. Use the ‘Search’ bar to locate an attendee quickly or scroll through the list. Once an attendee is selected, the attendees' details will be displayed on the screen. You can then record attendance for each day or session in your event.

Use the 'Days' list to view attendees by day. You will see 'Expected' attendees (those who registered for this day) at the top. Immediately following will be those marked as 'Attended'. Last on the list will be those who did not register for this day but can still be marked as attended. This is considered a 'walk-in'.
