Using the People Admin I’ve created several types, including Admin, Staff and Volunteer. I have added several people and then on a dummy event assigned them to the various types. When I go to the People List I can see values under Assigned As on Event; and on the Event I can edit it to see the People.
I can’t figure out to see a list of the People for a specific event and the type, which we can then use for the back end check-in.

Hi there,
If you go to edit the event you’ll see some boxes where you can assign admin, staff, and volunteers to the event by checking some checkboxes. Then after you update the event you can view the event and there should be lists displayed there.

We don’t want the list of staff/volunteers to show on the event page where users are registering.

What do you mean by backend check-in here, please?
We don’t want the list of staff/volunteers to show on the event page where users are registering.
Can I ask what it is your wanting to do with the people add-on? We can provide details on how to remove the people output from the event details but I just want to confirm the add-on is used for what you are expecting.

My understanding of the add-on is that it’s intent is that you can show people who will be “at” the event, as instructors or giving a presentation.
What I want to be able to do is attach the “back office” staff who will attending the event in a working capacity, such as the people who will be manning the registration desk.

So, you want to only use the People add-on as a way to organize and communicate internally to staff, but not display it on the front-end of the website?
If that’s the case, you can probably just hide the output of the People with CSS. Do you know how to do that?

Hello,
Were those back office people created through the people admin (Event Espresso –> People)?
If so, you’ll be able to enable them for the event by placing a checkmark next to their name through the event editor.
Here is an example:

Shorteners are banned so I cannot get to the link but yes, we created them thru People Admin and then added them to the event.
How does hiding the output of the people on the event help generate a list?
When you go to Manage People it shows the role they are assigned to for an event but it doesn’t display/can’t be filter to show a specific event.

Yes, but the purpose of the add-on is to display those users on the front end, or view all events that a ‘Person’ is assigned to on the front end for your users. It’s not a back end staff management add-on which it sounds like you are trying to use it for if i understand the above correctly.
You can view a list of people assigned to a specific event by using the ‘People’ link within the event list – http://take.ms/wNAJD
(If you don’t see that column check your screen options at the top of the page)
You’ll then see a list of people assigned to the event – http://take.ms/v2HAx
Currently, we don’t have an export function to export that list but you could screenshot and print it from there if needed.

Thanks. That is close enough to what I was looking for.
FYI, there is what I consider a bug, in that if the person is attached to multiple events in different roles it just list all roles (e.g. 2 admin, 1 staff) rather than just the role for the specific event

May I ask why you consider this to be a bug?

If I am looking via people I expect to see all people and their assignment(s). If I am looking via Event, I expect to see only the people assigned to the event.

That should be the case. When you are looking at a list like this one from Tony’s screenshot, you’re actually seeing people listed there that are not assigned to that event?

Mathew is assigned as admin for event A and as staff for Event B. When I click the people icon on the Event B line it shows both his roles – staff and admin – even though he is only staff for this specific event.

You’ll note that the column heading there says “Assigned As On Events” which helps show that they have assignments for other events. This is a feature that many find useful.
