See the Booth Attendant Guide for onsite setup and operation instructions, and share it with your booth attendant.
1. Prepare the iPad and app
Complete the items in these checklists before the event. Some steps may require your Apple ID or Simple Booth login, which you may not want to share with your booth attendant.
2. Share the Guided Access passcode
If you've completed step 1, you already have a Guided Access passcode. Your booth attendant will need it to turn Guided Access on and off at the start and end of the event. The Booth Attendant Guide includes Guided Access instructions, but we recommend walking through it together in person.
3. Plan ahead for internet access
Decide which network your booth will use, and make sure your booth attendant knows the plan, whether the venue provides a password or you'll 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 doesn't accidentally select the wrong event or change your settings.
Turn off on-device editing
Turning off on-device editing lets your booth attendant launch events without being able to change settings. This is an account-wide setting that affects all presets and all iPads on your account.
Turning it off also locks the in-app Design Panel. Finish any photo layout changes before you turn it off, or turn it back on when you need to edit your layouts.
Archive old presets and galleries
Archiving keeps only the events you need visible in the app. This makes it easier for your booth attendant to select the correct event and keeps them from opening outdated settings by accident.
6. Printing
Format your prints ahead of time
Print layouts almost always take some trial and error. Complete this step before the event. It shouldn't be the booth attendant's responsibility.
Review setup and troubleshooting steps
Printing issues often come from weak WiFi connections, and you can't always test printing at the venue beforehand. Your booth attendant should know how to set up the printer and troubleshoot connection problems. We recommend practicing printer setup together at least once before the event.
