Hello –
I have a need where I would like to download a raw data listing that shows the time stamp of when a ticket is scanned for a registered event attendee.
Rather than have individuals sign a sheet of paper in order of appearance, I’d like to keep this all paperless and be able to extract from Event Espresso the listing of members who have checked-in via ticket (or marking them off as checked-in on the mobile app) and the associated time stamp of that check-in event.
I understand this is not yet possible. You advertise that you can work with us if this is something that requires just a few lines of code to be modified.
Any way we can accomplish this?
Thank you

We can certainly work with you when it’s something that involves adding some code into its own plugin. For example, there’s a filter hook for the Registrations CSV report that allows for adding new columns. So a column for check in timestamp could be added there.
I should ask though, are you looking for that last timestamp, the first timestamp, or all timestamps? The reason I ask is because on registration can have many check-in timestamps. For example you can check in, then check out, then check back in, which would record 3 timestamps for that ticket.

Hi Josh,
Thank you very much for your response. I’m not familiar with the filter hook, but welcome some direction from you whether this is something I would need to drive on my end or otherwise.
You raise a very good question on the type of time stamp. I suppose that if this feature was a part of the system, then one would probably want to see the progression should the check-in status change. I could see there being a situation where someone was mistakenly checked-out, and then upon checking back in, there is no record of the original check-in (essentially making it difficult for someone to effectively be put back in line where they were originally).
If I was looking at a CSV file, and each check-in/out event generated a new transaction line if you will (with the associated time stamp), I could easily run a query to filter to the last check-in time. However, it would then probably be nice to have two fields – one for the check-in/out time for the specific transaction that occurred, and then a second field that represented the last (and most current) transaction time.
Thoughts? How do we proceed?
Thank you!

You can actually add a column to the Registrations CSV report that’s already included in Event Espresso 4. There’s a code snippet in our library that you can add to your website:
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/admin/jf_ee_registration_report_add_checkin_timestamps.php
You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.
