# Checking in Event Attendees

At the time of your Event, you'll check in attendees when they arrive, similar to [checking in for an appointment](https://help.openacu.net/books/admin-scheduler-help/page/checking-in).

#### **Step 1:**

Go to the Event date on the calendar, then click the Attendees tab. If an attendee has a dollar sign icon next to their name, that means they have pre-paid for the Event:

#### **Step 2:** 

To check in an attendees, click the checkbox icon next to their name on the Attendees tab:

A window will now appear where you can check in the attendees, and complete their payment if needed:

<p class="callout warning">**If your event includes [EHR notes](https://help.openacu.net/books/admin-scheduler-help/page/adding-ehr-notes-to-an-event), you must check in an attendee first before recording EHR notes.**</p>
