How can I revert a check-in?
----------------------------
Neither our apps nor our web interface can currently undo the check-in of a tickets. We know that this is
inconvenient for some of you, but we have a good reason for it:
Our Desktop and Android apps both support an asynchronous mode in which they can scan tickets while staying
independent of their internet connection. When scanning with multiple devices, it can of course happen that two
devices scan the same ticket without knowing of the other scan. As soon as one of the devices regains connectivity, it
will upload its activity and the server marks the ticket as checked in -- regardless of the order in which the two
scans were made and uploaded (which could be two different orders).
If we'd provide a "check out" feature, it would not only be used to fix an accidental scan, but scan at entry and
exit to count the current number of people inside etc. In this case, the order of operations matters very much for them
to make sense and provide useful results. This makes implementing an asynchronous mode much more complicated.
In this trade off, we chose offline-capabilities over the check out feature. We plan on solving this problem in the
future, but we're not there yet.
If you're just *testing* the check-in capabilities and want to clean out everything for the real process, you can just
delete and re-create the check-in list.
Why does pretix not support any 1D (linear) bar codes?
