App branding & App settings
Updated
by Ingo
MATE offers the possibility to use your own corporate design in the app. This allows you to quickly and individually adapt the design of MATE's Check-In App for guest accreditation. Please note that this is an additional product. If you are interested, please contact us at support@mateforevents.com.
App branding in your account for all events
Generally valid corporate design adjustments of your app, which are then valid for all your events, can be made directly on your CMS start page after activation of this additional product.
To do this, go to Account Settings and then open the App Configuration section.

you can adjust the following settings:
- Action color (color of action fields such as "Search", "Open", "Camera")
- Background color (background color in the app)
- Warning (displaying warnings, such as a check-in too much on a particular guest)
- Logo image URL (you can insert your own logo into the app, which will then be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen)
Expert Mode
If you activate this mode you can personalise your app branding even more. Most color codes are already filled in automatically by the system. These are color codes that match the action and background color selected from the general settings.
additional options (including direct Check-in)
- Checking in a guest directly during the QR code scan
If this function is disabled (basic setting), the guest is identified by scanning and displayed in the app. Check-in must then be performed manually.
- Prevent overcheck-in
Guests who have already checked in cannot be checked in again.
- Sound during ticket scan
- Sound at check-in
- Check-In required Category
- Warning when leaving an event
- Automatic Logout
