How do I add custom station themes?

Describes how to add, edit, and delete station themes.

You will need the Check-In permission to perform this action.

Station themes let you customize the look of a check-in station. Use themes to brand your station with your church colors, or to tell sessions apart during the same event (for example, kids check-in vs. volunteer check-in).

To add a new theme, go to Events > Check-In in the left-hand navigation. Select the Themes tab, then click + Add Theme.

The Add Theme window will appear with the following fields:

  • Name - the name you want to use for the theme.

  • Background Color - the base color for the theme. Click the color swatch to choose a color, or enter a hex value.

  • Background Image - click choose image to upload your own image or pick one from our Unsplash integration.

  • Preview - this area shows a live preview of how the theme will look at a check-in station as you make your choices.

Click Save once you are finished to create the theme.


Applying a Theme

When you authorize a station, you can set the default theme the station uses by selecting it in the Theme drop-down.

You can also override this theme within the event session itself by choosing whether to use the station's theme or another theme. If a station is running when the theme is changed, restart the station to load the new theme. See How do I set up an event to track attendance via the check-in system? under "Define Sessions" for more information.


Editing a Theme

To edit a theme, go to Events > Check-In > Themes and choose the 3-dots menu beside the desired theme. Click on Edit. This opens a window where you can change the theme's details.


Deleting a Theme

To edit a theme, go to Events > Check-In > Themes and choose the 3-dots menu beside the desired theme. Click on Delete. This open up a confirmation message to remove the theme.
