- You are signed in as an administrator of your organisation, or as a platform operator with a tenant selected.
- Your organisation must not be of kind restaurant or store — those types do not include check-in features.
- The environment variable PLATFORM_DOMAIN must be set (or defaults to localhost:3000) so the one-time URL points to the correct host.
Step by step
- Open the Manage menu and choose 'Sign people in at the door'
At the top of every admin page there are two menus — one for in-room actions and one for setup tasks. Open the second menu, labelled Manage, and look in the Meetings group for 'Sign people in at the door'. Clicking it takes you to the check-in setup screen.
- Wait for the check-in screen to load
Daviah confirms you are authenticated and have an organisation selected, then loads the check-in setup screen. Below the pairing form you will see a table listing any tablets that have already been paired, sorted with the most recently added at the top.
- Type a name for the tablet and click 'Open check-in on a device'
Enter a short label in the Name this screen field — something like Front desk tablet — so you can tell devices apart later. The field is required. Click 'Open check-in on a device' and wait a moment while Daviah sets things up.
- Daviah creates a secure device record
The plain token is never stored, so it cannot be recovered if lost — you would simply generate a new one.
- Copy the one-time address shown on screen
Daviah displays a unique web address in a code block with the instruction 'Open this address on that tablet now. It is shown once.' Copy it immediately. There is also an 'Open it here instead' link if you want this same browser to become the kiosk.
- Open that address on the tablet
On the tablet, navigate to the address you copied. Daviah rate-limits the request by the tablet's IP address, then finds the matching device record by comparing the token hash. It verifies the device belongs to your organisation and sets a secure cookie that identifies the tablet — valid for one year. The token then disappears from the address bar and the tablet is redirected to the check-in screen automatically.
- Confirm the tablet is showing the check-in screen
The tablet is now a dedicated kiosk. It shows the current meeting session and a search box where members type their name and tap to record their attendance. No other administrative data is accessible from this screen.
- Re-pair or deactivate a screen when needed
The device table in the office shows each screen's name, last-seen time, and attendance count. Use 'Open on a tablet' to generate a fresh pairing link — the old one stops working immediately. Use 'Stop this screen' to revoke the tablet so its cookie will no longer work. Both changes take effect straight away.
What happens next
The tablet becomes a permanent kiosk for your organisation. Its secure cookie lasts one year, so it will keep working through restarts and screen locks without needing to be paired again. Every time a member checks in, Daviah updates the device record with a last-seen timestamp and a running total of check-ins, both visible in the device table back in the office.
Good to know
The one-time pairing address is shown only once and must be opened on the tablet straight away.
