Admins can now enable Digital Badges to give attendees access to a personal QR code. This allows for a quick check-in process using the Check-in Assistant, provides a handy backup for misplaced physical badges, and even empowers conventions to go completely badgeless.
Settings
A new Digital Badges tab has been added to the Attendee Settings that lets you enable or disable digital QR codes for your convention.

Distribution Methods
Once access is enabled, you have full control over how and when attendees can view or receive their digital badges:
via Dashboard: You can choose to display the QR code directly on the attendee's badge dashboard for easy access. By setting a "From" date and time, you can control exactly when it becomes visible to attendees.
via Registration: Automatically send an email containing the QR code to attendees the moment their badge is registered.
via Bulk Email: Schedule a bulk email containing the QR codes to be sent out to all active badge holders at a designated date and time.
Attendee Experience
Depending on your chosen settings, attendees will receive an automated email containing their QR code (sent from no-reply@cardboardconnect.com) or they can simply log into their dashboard via the mobile or desktop app to pull up their digital badge for easy check-in scanning.
