# Let event staff work a desk from their phone with a desk link

Accreditation teams, caterers and gate supervisors rely on volunteers and contractors who will never have a dashboard login. A desk link on their phone lets them work one desk at your event, keeps the hand-out and meal desks going through a dropped connection, and stops working the moment you stop it.

Share a desk link so volunteers, caterers and gate staff without a dashboard login can hand out passes, give crew meals, check passes at a staff gate or run registration at your event from their own phone or tablet. Each link opens one desk of one event, everything done through it is recorded under its name, and you can stop it at any time.

- [Check the link is in use](#step-12)

## Ennen aloitusta

- You are an owner, admin or producer on the event. The event's **Operations** page opens for those roles only.
- The desk has what it works from: issued passes for a hand-out desk, meal desk or staff gate, and ticket holders for a registration desk or kiosk.
- To scan passes or tickets, the phone or tablet has a USB or Bluetooth scanner connected. Without one, staff enter the code by hand, or at the hand-out, meal and registration desks the person's name.

1. ## Open Desks

   Open the event, select **Operations**, then select **Desks** in the list of sections.

   **Huomautus:** Desks opens on **Desks and links**, with every desk of the event and the links already made. If Desks is not in the list, select **More sections** and open it there.
          ![Ticket Fairy Desks section with every desk of a festival and its desk links, each with where it works, when it was last used and when it stops](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-desk-links--desks.png)    Every desk of the event and its links.
2. ## Start a new link

   Select **Make a desk link**, or **Share a desk link** on the desk's card.

   **Huomautus:** Share a desk link is also beside **Open the desk** at the top of Accreditation and Meals, and it starts the link for that desk.
          ![Ticket Fairy Make a desk link dialog for a staff gate, with the name, the zone it checks, the supervisor switch and when it stops working](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-desk-links--make-a-link.png)    Make a desk link.
3. ## Choose the desk

   Choose the desk in **Desk**.

   - **Hand-out desk**: Accreditation staff find people's passes and hand them over.
   - **Meal service point**: Caterers scan a pass and give a meal against the person's allowance for the day.
   - **Staff gate**: Gate staff scan passes in and out, checked against the zone, the day and the pass's hours.
   - **Registration desk**: Volunteers check ticket holders in and print their badges.
   - **Self-service kiosk**: Ticket holders check themselves in on a tablet and print their own badge once.
   - **Kitchen count**: The kitchen sees the day's meal counts and food needs, without names.
   - **Lead scanner**: Booth staff scan visitors' tickets or badges to capture leads for one exhibitor.
4. ## Name the link

   Enter who uses it or where in **Name**, such as Backstage gate phone.

   **Huomautus:** Everything done through the link is recorded under this name, so every hand-over, meal and scan says where it happened.
5. ## Choose where it works

   If the link is for a staff gate, choose the zone in **Gate for**.

   **Huomautus:** The site entrance checks only the day and hours, and a zone also checks that the pass opens it. A meal service point asks for **Where it is** instead, such as the crew catering tent.
6. ## Let a supervisor go past a refusal

   Optional: Turn on the switch under the name, such as **Can let a refused person through, with a reason (for a supervisor)**.

   **Huomautus:** Leave it off for most staff; each reason they enter is recorded with the scan, meal or hand-over. A kiosk, a kitchen count and a lead scanner link never have it.
7. ## Choose when it stops

   Optional: Choose a date and time in **Works until**.

   **Huomautus:** Left empty, the link stops working the day after the event ends. A link can work for up to 120 days.
8. ## Make the link

   Select **Make link**.
9. ## Open it on the desk's phone

   Scan the QR code with the phone or tablet at the desk, or select **Copy link** and send it to them.

   **Varoitus:** The address is shown once. If you lose it, select **Get a new link** in the list, and the old address stops working.
          ![Ticket Fairy dialog with a new desk link for the crew catering tent, its QR code, the button that copies it and when it stops working](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-desk-links--link-address.png)    The link, shown once.

## The desk on their phone

Staff open the link without signing in. The page shows your event, the desk, its name and when the link stops, and it does only that desk's work: a meal service point link cannot hand out passes or open your dashboard.

       ![Ticket Fairy meal desk for the crew catering tent opened from its desk link, ready to scan a pass](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-desk-links--desk-on-a-phone.png)    A meal service point opened from its link.

## A desk with no connection

The hand-out desk and meal desks keep working with no connection. Staff scan and act as usual, each action is kept on the device, and the bar counts what is waiting until the connection is back and everything is sent. An action the server refuses, such as a meal for someone with none left, stays on the list with the reason until they dismiss it. A staff gate checks every pass with the server, so with no connection it asks staff to check passes by eye.

       ![Ticket Fairy meal desk with no connection, three meals waiting to send and one meal the server did not record](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-desk-links--working-offline.png)    A meal desk with no connection.

10. ## Check the link is in use

    Look at the link in Desks and links.

    **Huomautus:** It shows **Working** and how many times it was used, with the time of the last action.

## Change a link

1. ### Change it

   Select **Change** beside the link, change the name, zone, switch or end date, then select **Save**.

   **Huomautus:** The phone at the desk keeps the same address. The desk itself cannot change: make a new link for another desk.

### Hallintapaneelissasi, Fain kanssa

   Select **Get a new link** beside the link.

   **Huomautus:** The old address stops working straight away, and the new one is shown once, with its QR code.

Fai replaces a link's address after you confirm, so the old address stops working, for example when it was shared by mistake. Fai never gives out the new address: select **Get a new link** in Desks and links when you need to see one.

### Hallintapaneelissasi, Fain kanssa

The Main desk tablet link at \<EVENT NAME\> was shared by mistake, replace it so the old one stops working

## Stop a link

1. ### Stop it

   Select **Stop link** beside the link, then select **Stop link** again.

   **Huomautus:** Anyone using it sees that it no longer works, straight away. A stopped link cannot be turned back on, so make a new one if you need the desk again.

Fai stops a desk link after you confirm, for example when a phone goes missing.

### Hallintapaneelissasi, Fain kanssa

Stop the Crew catering tent desk link at \<EVENT NAME\>, the phone went missing

## Kysymyksiä joita sinulla voi olla

What can someone with a desk link see?:  Only what that desk needs: the passes or ticket holders they scan or search for, with the names and photos the desk shows. They cannot open your dashboard, other desks or the event's settings.

What if a phone with a desk link is lost?:  Select **Stop link** beside its link, then make a new link for the replacement phone. Everything done before you stopped it stays recorded under the link's name.

How many desk links can one event have?:  Up to 200, stopped ones included. The list shows the 200 newest.

Can I bring back a link that has ended?:  Yes. Select **Change**, choose a later date in **Works until**, then select **Save**. A stopped link cannot come back.

Can two phones use the same link?:  Yes. Everything either phone does is recorded under the one link's name, so give each desk phone its own link when you want to tell them apart.

What happens to meals given with no connection?:  Each meal counts on the day it was given, as long as it is sent within 12 hours. Keep the page open until the bar says everything is sent.
