Some locations have multiple auditoriums or other venues behind a single gated point of entry. Having the person/people gatekeeping switching between showtimes to scan can be tedious--especially when you get busy.

Since Elevent can scan credentials that could be used to get into multiple shows, scanning from a chokepoint like this is trickier than with a tickets-only system. But we've got it sorted.

If you've had a chance to get familiar with the new look & feel of Entry, one of the first things you might notice is the button on the top left.

For tablet and other widescreen displays, agents start off scanning all showtimes by default. They can still scan for a single show by pressing it. Mobile/smartphone users will either press the Scan All Showtimes button or choose a single show.

Then let scanning commence (list mode doesn't work here--that'd be one unmanageable list).

Tickets are always to a single showtime, so they scan normally.

Pass and ticket package credentials have some thinking to do. If they present a credential that can only be scanned into a single upcoming showtime, the system is smart enough to punch them into whatever showtime that is.

However, if there are multiple showtimes that the credential-bearer could get in to see, the agent will hear a different sound and choose which one for now.

Scan All Showtimes is supported in Entry on all size devices and in the Elevent At The Door iOS app.
