Recurring Events / Multiple Validation

Overview

  • A repeat option can be set individually for each ticket. This means that the ticket will be accepted multiple times when validated.
  • The repeat options may also be adjusted later on.
  • It is also possible to update several or all tickets simultaneously by using the edit function after selecting the corresponding items in the ticket list.
  • Different use cases can be accomplished by combining the options "repeat type" and "repeat limit".

Repeat Types

  • Tickets with a repeat type of "any time" can be redeemed at any time within the validity period (if applicable).
  • If the repeat type is "once daily", the ticket may be redeemed no more than one time per day.
  • For the repeat type "same day", the ticket may only be redeemed again on the day of the first validation.

Repeat Limit

  • A ticket with the limit option "unlimited" may be redeemed as often as desired within the scope of the repeat type.
  • By setting a repeat limit, the maximum number of validations is restricted.
  • The repeat limit always refers to the number of redemptions after the first validation.
    • The total number of possible validations is always "Limit + 1", i.e. one more than the limit.

Repetition Logs

  • The repeated use of a ticket after the first validation will be recorded in the repetition log.
  • The repetition log of each ticket can be viewed in its ticket details.
  • Only repeated validations can be found in the logs.
    • The original tear date will be recorded separately and can also be viewed in the ticket details.
  • Individual entries may be deleted manually, for example in order to correct erroneous validations or to issue refunds.
    • It is also possible to delete/reset the repetition logs of several or all tickets simultaneously by using the edit function after selecting the corresponding items in the ticket list.

Season Tickets / Punch Cards / Day Tickets

  • A season ticket may be implemented with the repeat type "any time" and the limit option "unlimited".
  • A "ten time punch card" or pass for ten visits can be defined with a repeat limit of "9" and the desired repetition type.
  • A day ticket (giving the option to re-enter) is possible with the repeat type "same day".

Attendance Check / Attendance List

  • Keeping attendance lists becomes very easy by creating a ticket for each participant and setting the ticket to multiple validation.
  • The repeat type "once daily" can be useful to avoid multiple registrations when performing an attendance check.
  • A special export for creating attendance lists is available from the event details ("Export Attendance List").
    • The export can be done in CSV, XML or JSON format. In CSV format, each registration date is output as a separate column.
    • By selecting an accuracy of "same day" or "same hour" multiple registrations (if permitted) can be grouped into one entry.
    • It is also possible to have the number of registrations that occurred in the selected interval entered for each participant.
    • Participants who have not registered at all ("no-shows") may be excluded from the export.
