Examples

1. One eGuestList Event

You have an event with one guest list that starts in the morning and ends at midnight.
You need One e-GuestList Event.

2. Two eGuestList Events

You have an event with 2 sessions: A morning and an evening session.
In addition, you want to track attendance for both sessions, and at least some of the guests will be attending both sessions.
In this case, you need two e-GuestList events: One to track the morning session and the other for the evening session.

You can purchase a package per event, per month, or per year.
If you have one or two events within a 30-day period, you should go for a PER EVENT plan.
If you have three or more events within a 30-day period, you should go for a MONTHLY package.
If you have multiple events throughout a 6-months or more period, you should go for an ANNUAL package.

You also have different options as per the number of guests per event & number of tablet check-in devices you want to use.

Whenever Internet gets back on, the devices send their data to the cloud and get synched automatically.

e-GuestList has three protection levels:

1. SSL Encryption

Your data is encrypted by SSL to be safe from hackers.

2. Real-time auto-save

Each move is auto-saved in real-time on the cloud to safeguard against losing data even if a tablet device is accidentally dropped and breaks (Internet is required).

3. Safe from user error.

Users cannot log out accidentally and therefore lose check-in data unless their data have already been saved on the Web.
