đĄ See the Booth Attendant Guide for onsite setup and operation instructions, and share it with your booth attendant.
1. Prepare the iPad & App
Complete the items in these checklists before the event. Some steps may require your Apple ID or Simple Booth login credentials, which you may not want to share with your booth attendant.
2. Share the Guided Access password
If youâve completed step 1, you already have a Guided Access password. Your booth attendant will need it to enable and disable the feature at the start and end of the event.
đĄ The Booth Attendant Guide includes Guided Access instructions, but walking through it in person is recommended.
3. Plan ahead for internet access
Decide which network your booth will use, and make sure your booth attendant knows the plan â whether the venue provides a password or youâll use a hotspot as a backup.
4. Show your booth attendant the setup process
The Booth Attendant Guide covers how to set up HALO hardware and software, but an in-person walkthrough is invaluable, especially for first-timers.
5. Show your booth attendant which settings to use
Make sure your booth attendant doesnât accidentally select the wrong event or change your settings.
Disable on-device editing
One option is to disable on-device editing. This allows your booth attendant to launch events without the ability to change settings. đ Keep in mind this is an account-wide change that affects all iPads.
Archive old presets and galleries
Archiving helps reduce clutter and confusion by keeping only the events you need visible in the app. This makes it easier for your booth attendant to select the correct event and prevents them from accidentally opening or using outdated settings.
6. Printing - If you plan to print
Format your prints ahead of time
Print layouts almost always require some trial and error. Complete this step before the event, it should not be the booth attendantâs responsibility.
Review setup and troubleshooting steps
Printing issues often come from weak WiFi connections, and you canât always test printing at the venue beforehand. Your booth attendant should know how to set up the printer and troubleshoot any connection problems.
We recommend practicing the printer setup process together at least once before the event.
